A Miniature T2T (Trash to Treasure)
For this game, you will need to use ALL of the following items:
- A BREAD BAG TIE – any type that comes on your bag, whether wire, plastic etc. will work
- A Q-TIP
- THE LEFTOVER MOTHERBOARD from any kit. This is the leftover part from a laser cut kit, not computer parts.
- A CAP/LID from any bottle or jar or container. Any size cap or container will work, whether a toothpaste cap or paint can lid or anything in between. The cap/lid must be used in its entirety, you can embellish it any way you choose, but you cannot cut it up. The other 3 items, you can use pieces of them and you can cut them up anyway they will work best.
- You can add anything you have in your stash to complete your T2T entry.
You’ll have until Sunday, September 15th, at noon to complete and submit (2) photos of your T2T entry. Upload a “before” photo showing the items you chose, and an “after” photo showing what you have made.
All photos need to be put in THE GROUPS.IO ALBUM labeled “2024 Silver Jubilee T2T Entries”. Make sure your name is shown on the files with your entry photos.
A winner will be drawn at random from the entries received, and the prize will be a little bigger than the usual game prizes ’cause you’re having to work extra for this one!
SAMPLE PHOTO – Trash to Treasure “BEFORE”. Bread bag plastic closure, Q-tip, wood “motherboard” pieces, and “cap” from a laundry detergent bottle.
SAMPLE PHOTO – Trash to Treasure “AFTER”. “My Garden Window” scene with the addition of some leftover siding graphics, lansdcaping materials and an adorable Susie Newell doll.

Print the .pdf file here. It contains a list of team members and their favorites. Just match the team member to the favorite. Draw lines connecting each team member to their favorite book and then snap a picture of your results and submit it before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, September 15th. The person who gets the most correct answers will win. If there’s a tie, we’ll do a random drawing among those with the most correct answers.
Famous Pen Names. Since the tagline for our Silver Jubilee Weekend is “A Bookcase of Memories” , we thought that we would test your knowledge of some of the more famous authors. For various reasons, the authors on the attached list published some of their most famous works under a pseudonym, or pen name. Use your memory (or your google skills) to match the Pen Name on the left to the Real, Given Name on the right. Some of them may really surprise you!
Print the .pdf file here, figure out the answer to the 20 names on the list, then take a picture of the completed answer form, or type a list with your answers into an email. Then send it before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, September 15th, to be entered in a drawing for a prize. Please use the subject line: “Famous Pen Names”.
