@QueenHobo just posted something exciting over in the new Fall Nerd Games thread! I am looking forward to sharing the surprise… eventually… Anyone that knows me knows that I hate waiting to share surprises, so this will be torture. Torture I tell you!

Oooh! Mysterious! I love it!

And, how liberal can we be with the Bingo cards? If I have something made with paper, and paper comes from trees, can I count it for trees?

I might need to print the other cards to see if I can get at least one line! My planned projects matched wonderfully. My actual projects, not as much!

How can i say no now? :smiley: but sadly it’s 1.30am and I’ve got to wake up at 7 (bad me, going to bed this late).
But if posting former projects is fine does that mean i can combine this craftalong with the HP one if the prompts fits? Can’t remember if the rules mentioned it.

Your projects are supposed to have been crafted withing the current season, with the exception of swap items. You can totally post the same projects in both swaps. We get creative with the prompts. As long as you explain why/how your project fits, you’re good to go. The only time sensitive prompts are the monthly battles. The rest of the prompts can be crafted any time during the season.

They will alwayd be crafted within the season/month, if not then it won’t be a challenge :smiley:

The Summer 2020 Games have ended, but the fun continues over in the Fall 2020 thread. We switched up team names, so be sure to pick your new team before posting!

One last thing. I would like to give a special thank you to @Smeddley for giving us such great prompts to craft for, and the bingo cards to add extra flair to the summer challenges. I really appreciate all that you do!

Another round of special thanks to @bluebird. She will be running a fun advent calendar event during the fall season, so be sure to check out the third comment of the thread for updates every Sunday of the coming season.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! Craft on, Nerds! :nerd_face:

I am so sorry I completely dropped out of existence this round, it was bound to happen one of these times!

Reminder, if you completed a bingo card PM me your address and your favorite crafting medium…

Fall prompts are sloppily up, I’ll tidy them later when I get to my computer but I know how people like to get started/planning!
