So I'll be totally honest.
I love me some scrabble but I haven't played in probably going on six years or so and I don't even own a copy of the game.
I don't even play some ultra-modern version like Words With Friends. Though I may start soon. Who wants to play with me? You'll probably win - having kids converted all my brain cells into fat cells and my body then promptly stored them in unattractive ways.
Damn. I just called myself dumb and fat without even trying. That has got to beat a self-deprecating record somewhere.
But that's not important.
It's Scrabble Day!
What better way to celebrate than by linking you to a free scrabble letters printable and then showing you what you can do with them?
Okay, so this one you could do with real scabble pieces or printed pieces of paper so you wouldn't have to deal with a deep shadow box. I've never been a fan of how sahdow boxes sit on walls.
One Creative Housewife did hers with the word "Family" and then all of their names.
I've also seen it done with the words "I love you", "love you", "love you forever", "love you always", "love" and innumerous other cliche "love" phrases.
Personally, I would do it with the first thing I ever said to my husband in person (we met online): "I don't see any donuts."
Long story.
I love the idea of doing something bigger, though. I mean taking- up-most-of-the-wall-big. In a kid's room how freaking adorable would it be to Scrabble two kid's names together (for a shared room) or thier real name and nickname or first and middle name?
I also love the idea of pillows. I couldn't find an original link (so I posted the Pinteret picture below), but seriously... You could do these yourself. It's a solid colored fabric or burlap and some black paint (acrylic would even work) plus some stencil work. They're so easy! You could do the Family's last name for a patio set or kid's names in bright colors for bedrooms and playrooms... Anything, really.
There's even this adorable scrabble banner for sale on Etsy. Of course, we all know that it's for sale on Etsy, there's a way to make it yourself. I just don't know where to start with this one.
I even see Scrabble themed weddings on Pinterest. I mean, I don't like Scrabble that much...but it's cute in theory.
So Scrabble it up.
I'm going to go download Words With Friends.
Happy Saturday!!
