Some Assembly Required February Challenge

I'm not sure if I posted about this site, but there is a brand new blog that deals with the altered arts. 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.

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.

BTW the March SAR challenge is to alter a letter or a word.
