Christmas Scrabble

So this year John asked if we could decorate the large white entrance hallway this year for Christmas. Shocked I came up with a few ideas and he had the final vote of doing a Christmas Scrabble idea. I didn't see anything like it, but thought that having red tiles and white letters would be fun. I started with a bunch of Christmas words and decided to focus them all on Christ. It took several attempts but I found some letter layout that I liked. So off to work.

My amazing friend Wendy let me borrow her Cricket and I cut out letters and the numbers in vinyl. 

Saturday when we were all sick and exhausted we went to Home Depot and cut the boards.

Today when John had to work all day, I thought it would be a good time to finish.

Spray painting in the freezing cold.

Sticking the lettering on as I watched The Holiday which is my favorite holiday romance. 

Putting it on the wall.

Discovering I forgot to do a "T" and and 1 for the "S" because I made a 4 on an extra "H" I did.

Either way, it is almost done and I love how it turned out! Hopefully Carter doesn't pull down the "Y" and the "H".
