Sale-a-bration BINGO

Good Evening All. I am kicking off our Sale-a-bration BINGO. For every $50 order you place, you will get a BINGO card to play Sale-a-bration BINGO in the month of February. If you were at my class on Saturday and purchased a $50 order, you should have gotten your BINGO card already. If you were there and gave me your $50 order, but didn't get it yet, I will be getting it to you before February 1. If you have an order to place, but haven't done so yet, I will be placing another order on Thursday. Please make sure that I have your order by Thursday at 12 noon and I will make sure you get your BINGO card by February 1.

Here is how to play: Check my blog each day (or catch up if you miss my posts) and it will tell you what color heart is pulled for that day. Not sure which color is which? Have no fear, we will step you through it. I have a copy of YOUR card and can help YOU! Generally, each card only has one shade of color (for example yellow) under each letter (B-I-N-G-O) . You can win BINGO horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Leave me a comment or send me an e-mail when you win and I will let you know what your prize is. Enjoy!
