Hemp

So, being the psychology major that I am, I performed a little experiment on myself a few months ago. Whenever I felt sad, I decided to make a hemp bracelet and watch The Office. The idea was that watching The Office would cheer me up, and that eventually I would connect those and be able to stop the negative feelings by making bracelets. I realize now how random that is, but I just really love hemp :)

Who would have ever expected it to work?? I seem to have successfully conditioned myself to be cheered up, pretty much completely, simply by making hemp bracelets. Anyway, I've decided to put that to good use! I am participating in Invisible Children's 25 hours of silence for 25 years of war event on April 25, and part of participating is raising at least $25 for the implementation of the Protection Plan (download here). If you want more information about it, go to invisiblechildren.com/25 or watch this video.

Anyway, I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to raise money and last night I saw the tangled mess of hemp on my desk and the light bulb went on!So here's the deal: I won't ask for more than $1 for a bracelet (or it could be an anklet if you want). If I don't know you personally, you can shoot me an email (elsie.elise@gmail.com) with your address, and donate the money on my fundraising page here. And I'll mail it out to you as soon as I can! So. If you would like to help out, comment with your wrist size (take a piece of string, wrap it around your wrist, and measure how long that is) and whether you want the flat (see above picture) or spiral kind (pictured left). I would absolutely love it if y'all contributed! :)
