Altered Item

I tend to slightly alter things, but am always worried about going overboard. However, when I look at things that others have altered, I love them!!

When I visited Rosie's blog recently she is offering some blog candy for reaching 10,000 visitors (well done Rosie!!) This time she is challenging people to 'alter' something, so after winning some fabby stuff in Rosie's last blog candy, I thought I'd get my thinking cap on!

and this is what I found to alter (not sure if it counts tho!)


The reasoning behind this is, my rapidly increasing weight!!
I was a member of Weight Watchers and managed to lose a stone and a half! but when all my 'probems' at work started, I more or less gave up. I was still paying the money,but not going to get weighed coz I'd been 'naughty' Therefore I cancelled my membership. I had a posh set of glass scales on the floor in my bedroom, but because they were on the carpet, they didn't weigh properly, so I asked my dad for some wood to stand them on. The wooden board is what he gave me!

I soon decided I didn't really fancy the idea of the board in my bedroom as you would be able to seei t thru the scales. So outcame my stash and this is what I came up with.


I was quite chuffed actually and Carl said if the wood had been a bit straighter he would have put it on the wall!!
so there you go , my first proper attempt at 'altering' something

Sam that is great. I love black and white together. I hope you have got your scales in a prominent place so the board can be on view?
