Triple word score

Welcome once again to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day of the week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if you've been coming around for quite a while or this is your first time, everyone is welcome to share their projects, big or small. Just link up at the bottom of this post.
I ♥ Scrabble! It's my absolute favorite game. I played for years and years with my kiddos on the old fashion board, but then we upgraded to the newer "Diamond" version - no more sliding tiles!
I also love the looks of the tiles - that classic shape just sings to my heart - so I knew that I could use them in other ways than teaching playing with my kids.
How about using them as placecards?
 Or markers for dishes on a buffet?
Even a short message on a shelf would be adorable!

Don't have a spare game on your shelf?
Thrift stores and yard sales are the perfect place to find them!
Soooo.... whatcha got? I wanna see and so does everybody else! Just put your PERMALINK into the linky, and please link back here so everyone can find the great ideas. DO NOT link to an Etsy shop, online store or other selling venue. Be sure to say hi to your neighbors - it is a party after all. Welllll..... let'er rip, tater chip!

  5. I've got a rack with Scrabble tiles out for one of my Halloween displays. Also, I glued magnets to the back of some of my tiles and stuck 'em on the fridge. It's funny to go get something to eat or drink and see what phrases my husband and daughter have come up with. :-)

    Thanks for hosting!
