Because it matters...

Handstamped by Tiawanda

It looks simple. H-O-P-E. Four letters on a disk, but the process for a teenager is time-consuming and tedious.

1) Having to pick the letters and place them correctly (making sure that it's not upside down...or that the p, wasn't a b or a d).

2) Using the mallet and hitting it hard enough, so it makes the imprint.

3) Coloring it in so that the letters can be seen.

4) Removing the excess ink soon enough and meticulously, so the marks can't be seen on the disc.

5) Washing the disk off, so it doesn't smell like the remover.

"All of this for one little tiny charm? I don't like it...why even spend all this time on this?" stated Girl 1.

"Because it matters," replied Girl 2.
