Each month they post a challenge to alter a particular object. For those who participate their name is entered into a drawing for a great prize. For the month of February the challenge was to alter a cigar box. It took me forever to find one, but I finally did and here's how it turned out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171411256452344002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lJ5rnw7n6-s/R8SLI3BMaMI/AAAAAAAAAmA/vkFASwm8ta4/s320/Cigar-Box.jpg" border="0" />Sorry the picture is so small. I just realized I deleted the larger pics accidently. The journaling on the front says "Strength comes in numbers." The journaling on the inside cover says "When a man stands alone he can be easily broken, but when he stands together with his family and friends nothing can break him." The L side has a broken pencil attatched and the R side has seven pencils bound together. We recently used this object lesson with our kiddos and I wanted them to have a constant reminder of that lesson.</p><p>BTW the March <a href="http://alter-nativefun.blogspot.com/">SAR</a> challenge is to alter a letter or a word.<br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5743714936294157303-7452389867553625058?l=scrapping365.blogspot.com'/></div>Jennifer L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17202879996980828772noreply@blogger.com1
