Our theme this week is all about casino amusements, bingo etc. All things I do NOT like. When I was working at the old people's home I had to play Bingo with the Oldies every Monday, which they loved, but my fun was limited there, too, as it is not easy to play games with a group of 'I'm determined to win', deaf and excitable Oldies, fighting for the honour of winning soap or chocolate or a bottle of juice! But I let them win, they enjoyed their afternoon, and that was it.
For my tag I have stamped a manila tag with various background motives in gold, and then added two vintage tarot cards and some counters. Very exciting - not! I have surrounded it with other game accoutrements, taken from Monopoly and my stash. That was it!
The nicest parts are my monopoly pieces!
And I took a photo of a one-arm bandit, the only one I have.....
Sorry, not very sharp, but he kept moving! He is usually only let out for Halloween, but I thought he night like a little airing in the summer. He prefers coins to keys, but he's too quick for my and my camera that way, so here he is with my car key.
Okay, this is a rather stupid post. Sorry, my head somehow feels like that today. Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for visiting!
