Scrabble

At my house, Erin (daughter #2) and I play lots of Scrabble, it is her favorite game.  Two weeks ago, I bought a new version of the game.  The board turns  360 degrees, storage for all the tiles and the board is indented so your letters won't move all around.   We have played several games on the new board and it is great. 

I thought I would take the tiles and put them in a glass jar to display but Erin had another idea. She wanted to make something with the board she grew up on playing Scrabble, said it cannot be thrown away.

First she needed a saying, so she searched for one and being an athletic and very competitive, she chose

" Pain is Temporary, Quitting Lasts Forever"

This took sometime to arrange and place all the letters, in fact, this was the second choice because the first wouldn't work with the provided letters.

We bought a larger artist canvas, spray painted it and then Gorilla Glue did the rest.  She glued the letters on the board and then the board to the canvas.

Here it is :

She is very excited for this to go in her new apartment.  Me?  I am thrilled and touched she wanted to create this piece of artwork to remember the fun we have had.

I bet you want to know who wins, well she does 90% of the time.  She is a strategy player and works for the points and doesn't spell a word if it is going to give the opponent a triple word score.  The few times I do win, then another game has to be played immediately, I told you she was competitive!
