Here are just a few of the things we have planned to do at Shackapaloosa:



"Stamp Shack" instead of "bingo"
Get your bingo game on!! We are going to be playing a bingo like game. But we are making it all "shacked-up"!!

How well do you know your shackies?
This will be a fun list of questions about your fellow shackies. Start asking questions of each other. You never know what you could win!

Scavenger Hunt
Did you bring a purple polka dotted brad with you? How about a scrap of gold stripped paper? You may need it!

Build a card
We will start off a couple of diffrent "mystery bags" full of "supplies". Everyone reaches in and pulls out something and has to use it on that card. I can't see what we can make out of tp and staples!! LOL

Image swap
Have a favorite image or even one you are not sure what to do with. Stamp a few extra and bring them with you. Please stamp in black ink on white paper. The more you bring to share the more you get back!!

"Chinese gift exchange"
Not sure why it's called this but that is what it was called when I first played it at a Christmas party.

Here is how it works:

Bring a new gift wrapped craft item. Value between $1.00 - $5.00. Everyone who plays will then draw a number. #1 goes first. They choose a gift to unwrap but it may not be theirs yet... #2 then gets the choice of unwrapping a new gift or taking #1's gift. IF they take #1's then #1 get to unwrap another one. But then #8 wants #2's gift. They can take it and it is theirs for the rest of the game. Once a gift is taken twice it can no longer be taken. Do you get it??:err:

so...

#1 unwraps a gift
#2 takes it, #1 unwraps another one
#8 wants #2's so she takes it. It's "safe" and is hers. #2 then unwraps something new.

Trust me it is really fun!!
