Sorry I'm running late today, family obligations kept me busy. But hey, I haven't gone to bed yet so it's still Thursday here. These are my fills from June:

I have made bingo across Row 1 of my 6-1-22 card for the Cottoncandy Bingo Fest.

B1 (lost / found) -- "Full of Junk and Weird Stuff" (Monster House)
I1 (naked / vulnerable) -- "What the Thinker Thinks" (standalone)
N1 (creative) -- "Inner Pictures of the Soul" (Eloquent Souls)
G1 (knitting / sewing / crochet) -- "Spin Our Own Yarn" (Arts and Crafts America)
O1 (healing) -- "A Wordless Trust of the Same Mystery" (Polychrome Heroics)

I also made these additional fills:

N2 (touch) -- "Every Touch Reflects the Artist" (Polychrome Heroics: Shiv)
G2 (opportunity) -- "Clothes Worth Repairing" (Polychrome Heroics: Rutledge)

B3 (sketch / draw) -- "Create a Kind of Substance" Part 1 (Polychrome Heroics: Shiv)
I3 (forest) -- "The Wall of Many Colors" (An Army of One)
G3 (home) -- "The Painted Sky" (Arts and Crafts America)
O3 (being helped) -- "Clothes Worth Wearing" (Arts and Crafts America)

I4 (inspiration) -- "The Traveling Beads" (Arts and Crafts America)

I have made bingo across Row 3 of my 6-1-22 card for the Food Fest Bingo.

B3 (Fruit) -- Strawberry Curry
I3 (Môr Welsh Spice Mix) -- Mor Seasoning and my wishlist
N3 (WILD CARD: herb omelette)
G3 (Xawaash Spice Mix) -- Crockpot Xawaash Chicken
O3 (Smoke) -- "The Science of Food" (standalone)

I also made these extra fills:

N1 (The Indian Instant Pot Cookbook) -- Punjabi Rajma Dal

I2 (Garam Masala) -- Onion Masala
N2 (Hippie Food) -- "Clothes Worth Repairing" (Polychrome Heroics: Rutledge)

B4 (Seeds) -- "The Bird Cane" (Arts and Crafts America)
N4 (Dairy) -- Ginger Caramel Sauce
O4 (Cooking in Season) -- Wildberry Muffins

G5 (Legumes) -- Madras Lentils with Onion Masala
O5 (Brown) -- "Clothes Worth Wearing" (Polychrome Heroics: Rutledge)

I really had a lot of fun with this fest, because it encouraged me to make fills other than writing. 8 out of these 13 fills were cooking, 4 were poems, and 1 was research for a spice mix that I haven't managed to get my hands on but am fascinated by.

Did anyone else make non-writing fills for the Food Fest Bingo?

WOW! As usual, you made a bingo & then some!! *impressed as always*

I also like that you actually cooked to make a bingo! I think that's great!! :D

I found this card very inspiring for cooking. I'd enjoy doing it again. This year we had two fests -- the other being crafts -- that lent themselves to non-writing fills and it was really fun mix things up a bit. I'd love to see more of this next year.

*nods* It was, but I'm not much of a cook, nor do I really enjoy cooking, so writing was the fun part for me. And I challenged myself by using all the prompts in my fic. I missed the craft one; that would have been fun to try! I have done artwork as fills before, but trying something different would have been fun to do! :D

I hope we do get more differently inspiring bingoes! :D

Totally fine.

It's another that I'd enjoy seeing again.

I agree, and I plan to encourage that. Do you have any ideas for such? The November slot is still open, and October has a recurring fest so is open to a new one also.

:D

Me too! (for the first time XD)

Picture prompts are fun, but the trouble with that is finding free hosting for all the images. XD There's song titles/lyrics, inspiring quotes, and genre based ones. Maybe you've never written romance or science fiction, so picking a card with related prompts would be fun, and for the ambitious, who want to try a lil of everything, there's the library card of 25 prompts (24 plus a free space of one's choice) to complete. Or maybe find the names of a piece of art, for example Van Gogh's "Starry Night" with links to the artwork so we can see what it looks like, and we write something inspired by it, or create an artwork based on it. :D We could have a "wonders of nature" bingo with things found in nature like deer for a prompt, or forest, or ocean. Or we could do a children's lit card where you have random prompts & the challenge is to write a kid's story for each one. Or fractured fairytales. That's all I can think of. XD

Maybe "Wonders of Nature" for December? It's a season when people turn toward awe. It's a theme that plays well with personal creations or a treasure hunt. Are you up for hosting such a fest?

I could do it. I'd just to be poked in November so I don't forget. XD

(Please forgive my edits. I seem to be unable to type or think. XD)

November or December? I was originally thinking November, then realized December might be a better fit.

December hosting, with November poking so I can have time to get something together in time for the hosting. :D

Noted and logged!

Thanks! Now to start collecting prompts. XD

If you search "natural wonders" you get things like this:

That can lead to generic ideas like "waterfall" or "rainbow."

Search "nature photography" and you get:

Try "nature scavenger hunt" and this comes up:

There's a lot of inspiration out there.

You're awesome!! Thanks for all the linkage!! :D
