Scrabble
Upon first glance I am sure you are assuming that I will be discussing the game of Scrabble, but I will not. In fact, I have never played a game of Scrabble in my life. I am not really a "board game" kind of girl. Instead, I will explain a fun way to display the game in your home.
My mother came up with a really funky way to celebrate and decorate using the Scrabble pieces.
She would display various sayings and phrases on the wooden block for various holidays and special occasions. A wonderful example of this is during Christmas time she will spell out "Happy Birthday Jesus" and display it on the cabinet in the living room. She will also use the pieces to spell out "Welcome Home" or "Congratulations" when my siblings and I are visiting. You can purchase this game at most stores, but if you only want to purchase the pieces I would suggest going to a local craft store like "Michael's" or "A.C. Moore". This is a really inexpensive and clever way to celebrate life without using cheesy balloons and tacky decorations. The best part of all is that this is a one time expense and you can use it over and over again!
Enjoy!
Love, Lili
My mother just informed me that she did not start this tradition. It was actually my Aunt who came up with the idea! I need to give credit where credit is due. Thank you for your honesty Mom!
