I love playing board games. The girls already have quite a collection. The mister on the other hand, doesn't like games as much. The only games I can get him to play are Risk, Monopoly and Scrabble. Since scrabble is one of my favorite games, this works for us.
I thought that it would fun to use a Scrabble board to create wall art in our Master bedroom. I was excited to find a brand new Scrabble game at Goodwill for $1.99.
It took a bit of menuvering, but I was determined to use every one of the letter and I succeeded. I didn't just want randon words. We decided that words that were meaningful throughout our lives and our girls would be really fun on the wall.
Because I'm the sap that I am, I thought it would be cute to have our names intersect and reworked words around the board until I could make that happen.
I also made sure to work our girls' name into the board as well.
Some day, I will do a full reveal of the Master Bedroom but for now you get it piece by piece.
Linking this up at:
I am impressed that 1. you got a steal of a deal on the scrabble game (lucky), 2. that you used every letter (impressive) and 3. how personal and unique this is (nicely done).
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm always scouring the games at goodwill looking for childhood favorites.
