Hunger Games

If you have not yet read the Hunger Games by Susan Collins then you need to rush over to the bookstore immediately. That was seriously one of the best books i've read in a long time. There is only two out right now but the third one is said to be coming out around the 24th of August 2010. So quite a while....darn it....
If you were thinking of reading this series i will tell you this. Susan Collins loves to place you at the edge of your seat right at the end of the chapter. The climax of the chapter is literally the last line. So if you thought "oh i'll just read to the end of this chapter and then stop" It IS IMPOSSIBLE! It's like annoying. I read it in one sitting because you just can not stop. This book is highly addictive so be careful. :)

Hope Wraps

It started in my Sociology Class when Brother Wray asked us to start a project. Any Project. To do our part in helping any issue for the world today. So I thought about it and decided that i wanted to choose something I am passionate about. So i came up with Hope Wraps.
When my sister Chelsie lost her hair from cancer, it was really hard for her. She always wore a bandana or hat or wig. Only a couple of us ever got to see her with out one on. It was a trial losing her hair but she definitely made the best of it. She was inspiring and beautiful. So i decided i wanted to do my part to help young girls like Chelsie cope with the effects of cancer. I bought silky material that can breathe well (so you can stay cool) and is also very soft and comfortable (so you can sleep comfortably) I cut them into large squares and then in half to large triangles.
We hemmed each side with different color string, depended on the material. Then on the shorter sides I tied thick string about an inch apart to give the wraps a urban feel. Just tie in a knot at bottom of string. It takes a while to complete each wrap but it's so worth the time because some young girl might really love wearing it in the hospital. I choose fun trendy colors and designs. In each Wrap i included a pamphlet that i designed with some different ideas for tying the wrap. I took them to the same hospital in Salt Lake that my sister went to.
