Greetings, Vintage Mystery Challengers! Well, we're headed towards the homestretch for 2014 challenges. I finally decided to pony up and extend my linky service so I can post things for a longer time period and get the Wrap-Up links posted. Here are the rules for Wrap-Up Posts (or comments):
There are two linkys--one for those who completed one Bingo only, for a prize-drawing, and one for two Bingos or more to get a list for automatic prize offerings.
Since there are two levels of automatic prizes: At Least Two Bingos (prize vault pick) and Cover the Card (which includes the prize vault pick as well as a bonus for doing all categories on a card), I plan on waiting until the end of the year to send out prizes. That way if you cover a card, I can send you both prizes in one mailing.
Please post how many Bingos you completed and whether you also covered at least one card with a list of the books and the squares they fulfill. If you don't have a blog, then you'll need to post a comment below that meets the wrap-up requirements and please email me at phryne1969 AT gmail DOT com to let me know that you're interested in a prize. Wrap-Up posts will be accepted until January 7th, 2015.
Here is a link to my Challenge Commitment Fulfilled post to give you an example for logging your Bingos for the wrap-up. You will see that the books that count for more than one bingo are listed for each one. If you cover a card, you will only need to list each book once to show that every square was filled.
I don't have a blog, but I do have two bingos on the Golden card.

ReplyDeleteI completed both the Silver and Golden Card - so with 72 reviews i decided to provide some highlights in my wrap-up post and link to an index to all 72 - hope that's OK Bev
ReplyDeleteBingo! Completed the Golden Card!
ReplyDeleteWithout prompting, I set-up my blog from the beginning to very clearly record bingo and completion dates. I'm glad I did, since first order plays a role. My bingos occurred: February 26, March 24, and my whole silver card was completed October 5, 2014!
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone a happy new year and blessings throughout the future. Yours truly, Carolyn, RIEDEL Fascination. http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/mykindofmystery2014/
