We have tags for you to print out and pin on and they have a square on them for you insert your avatar (lower tech way would be to print your avatar out, print the tag out and then glue the avatar to the tag. higher tech way would be to paste it in using photoshop or the like–I can help folks with this if needed.) You should have your tag on, or visible near you when you are actively playing. The campsite was not part of the bingo playing grounds last year, to give people a break if needed. Also, if you see someone actively engaged in bartering for an item, or in an animated discussion, it is likely best to let them finish before approaching them.

Those tags can be found here:

Cards will be emailed out to players on Monday, June 15th, barring any unforseen complications.

We encourage you guys to all pot about this in ravelry groups that might be interested and on your blogs. If you’d like some buttons (and who doesn’t love internet buttons?) feel free to snag these (right click and save as then please save to your own server!).

In order to offset the costs of shipping prizes to folks, Jodie and I decided to set up a shop to sell tshirts and other bingo items (like buttons!) After much deliberation about sizing and availability and ease of use, I decided to go with Zazzle.com. The buttons are coming soon, I’ve been slowed down a bit by an injury, but the tshirts are ready. There’s a variety of shirts, hopefully something everyone will like and I hope to have other items available by this weekend. So, take a look!

It’s time to start thinking about Black Sheep and Black Sheep Bingo.  We had such a great time last year, that of course we wanted to continue this year.  Please check out the rules (even if you participated last year), and make sure you take a look at the fabulous prizes.

In the mean time, we’d love to hear about your experiences from last year.  As we are planning for this year we would love to hear suggestions, what you enjoyed and what you’re looking forward to.

Continue to watch this space for updates and we’re hoping to hear from you soon!
