I looked briefly at the site. I will have to spend more time looking it over. For now, I think the idea is dead. I have all of next year to plan ahead and find what we can afford. I did not think letters would be so expensive. Craft Warehouse had some, but they were less than 2 inches tall and way too small. Blocks might not be any larger, now that I think of it. I still want to check those out. It was a fun game last year and I can just imagine the messages my hubby will leave me if I get an entire alphabet. I could leave him the messge "I want a Bernina for Christmas". I wonder if it would do any good? ------ Quilting is relaxing to me. I love to play with fabrics, patterns and colors.

They have a good selection of alphabet decals on Amazon, with both upper and lower case letters, several of each. [I have been looking at them for the walls in my sewing room] Also Amazon USA has lots of kids alphabet letters, at reasonable prices. I just put in a search for 'alphabet letters' -- Edited on 11/28/11 2:46 AM -- another thought - cheap magnetic wallboard and magnetic kids alphabet?

Learn To Sew   Intermediate WA USA Member since 4/12/05 Posts: 7987	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/28/11 11:38 AM I must say you sure are creative in your ideas. I think I will just buy the blocks, so he can make all the words he wants and not be too limited. My DH does occasionally love to leave me messages. One year I stayed with my Mom a couple of days before Valentines Day. Mom got lonely often, and I so enjoyed being with her while I had the time. I miss those visits now that she has passed on. Anyway, I came home to find "Happy Valentine's Day" spelled out in candy hearts! I laughed so hard I thought I'd never stop. It has been about 15 years since he did this and I will never forget it. I loved it and will remember him doing this all my life. Last Christmas I got to bring home the Noel letters from her estate. We made a few words from them and had a hoot who could out-do who. He won, of course. I want to keep the new tradtion alive, so I'll just buy some blocks in the toy dept and when I decorate next week, we will have fun again. I think I'll spend next year searching for letters or just buy some nice think wooden ones that stand up on their own and paint them Christmas colors. Learn ------ Quilting is relaxing to me.

That's why I went searching for you. Sadly, my family is spread around the UK now, and all busy with their own lives. I hope they remember the fun we used to have with word games. I hope you have success next year in your search, and if I can help, let me know. ------ Multi-lingual [fluent in many machines] Dream like you will live forever, Live like you'll die today Quilting is my passion, but chocolate comes a close second I am only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand
