Christmas or not Bingo Challenges #21 starts 1 September 2026 + #20 brags

 Welcome to Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges #21!

 #21 starts September 1 and ends on October 15, 2026 with 12 am/midnight central time/Chicago or 6 am UK for start and end time references.

Our theme is always anything goes with the featured BINGO card. Choose one letter in the word BINGO and use at least three items in that column on your project. You must state in your blog post the column and the specific items used. This is not your typical BINGO card where you go up and down, left and right and diagonally. To make this more fun, you can only go up and down using the columns. There is a FREE space in each column that you are welcome to utilize if you'd like. You cannot mix and match columns - you can only use one column under one letter. The new bingo board is found at the end of the inspiration section.

Hi. I’m Chris, I live in Kent, in the South East of England with my husband of over 50 years and

our dog Marvin, a Fox Red Labrador, a real life Crazy Critter!  I have a son and a daughter, both

happily married, and am a very proud grandmother to 4 beautiful girls.  I’d like to say I’m a health

conscious, keep fit enthusiast but it would be a terrible fib, in reality, I’m a coffee guzzling book-

aholic who enjoys crafting – especially stamping and colouring- and spends too much time doing it.
