BINGO! 

I am obsessed with Bingo! We play it every year on Christmas and it's seriously the highlight of the day. We even have the Bingo cage where you have to spin it and all the balls bounce around inside the cage. My grandma (Mama) was the original Bingo announcer. We would have Christmas at Mama and Papa's house and everyone was required to bring one $10 gift per and no alcohol what-so-ever. Yes, we have  Bingo rules in our family. Mama would call all the numbers and if you won she would make you read the numbers back to her and then she would say "That's one good Bingo!". My grandma passed away some time ago and I have since have taken over the Bingo tradition and now I am the official Bingo announcer. And, I still say "That's one good Bingo!"

 Well last week I was antique shopping and I came across these vintage Bingo cards. I was so excited because I knew just what I wanted to do with them! I framed them and made vintage Bingo art for our playroom. I am in LOVE.
