I remember walking into my kitchen and seeing it lying on the counter. It was beautiful. It was wrapped in paper painted with my daughter’s tiny hand prints, and tied with red yarn and a yellow rose from my own garden. Inside was a picture of my two-year-old and me, in a wooden frame that she had painted herself. My eyes began to tear with the realization of the time, attention and love that went into this creative birthday gift.

Creative birthday presents that are handmade by small children make perfect gifts. There are many wonderful ideas that are easy, inexpensive and fun. For babies, toddlers and small children the most personal thing they can create is a hand or foot print. With one of these print projects, you can create special gifts that are memorable and cherished.

First, you need to make some prints.
You will need;

o Old baking pan for your paint
o Washable, non-toxic paint
o Sponge or brush
o Art paper or roll of paper
o A basin of warm, soapy water

For feet, brush or sponge paint on the foot, or dip the foot in the paint. Stand the baby on the paper, lifting the child up and down. A toddler or small child can actually walk on the paper.
For hand prints, you can paint the hands or let the child “grab” the paint themselves. Help them press, and then lift their hands on and off of the paper.

After you’re finished, use the warm, soapy water in the basin to wash off the paint.
Once you have a few “good” prints, let them dry completely and then cut them out. Save your originals and color copy the best prints at your local print shop or on your home printer. These copies are easier to work with and allow you to make multiple creative birthday presents.

Once you have your copies, use the prints and a little creative writing to;

o Glue a print and a birthday wish on the inside cover of a homemade picture or music CD.
o Decoupage the print(s) on a finished piece of wood or ceramic tile to make a plaque.
o Using card stock or construction paper, use prints to make homemade birthday cards.
o Scan the prints and use iron-on transfer paper to create personalized t-shirts, aprons, sweatshirts, pillowcases, etc.
o Frame the print(s), and add the special date in calligraphy

You can also make homemade wrapping paper. Wrap presents in large finger-paint pictures or large pieces of rolled paper that the child has freely painted with their hands or feet. For more fun, play music and ask the children to “dance” on the paper with their painted feet.

Use twine, yarn or ribbon to tie the gift wrap. Cut out a print, punch a hole near the top and thread it through the ribbon for a matching gift tag.

Crafting these creative birthday presents is a great way to spend quality time with your child. The result is a unique keepsake that really shows how much you care.

It is easy to become upset when you are handed a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. You suddenly imagine all sorts of gloomy scenarios. You still want to eat your favorite foods, but you know they aren’t the healthiest options for you now. You’re scared about your future. Your well-being wasn’t an issue before, but now you’re forced to address it.

A Type 2 diabetes diagnosis affects individuals differently. Some people may just feel upset. Others will see it as a life crisis. A few may even feel indifferent about it because there might be more pressing concerns in life at that time.

If you are a recently diagnosed Type 2 diabetic, know diabetes presents an opportunity. Your diagnosis offers a chance for action (or inaction) that may determine your future. It’s okay to feel disappointed with your diagnosis, but it’s wrong to feel defeated. There is much to help steer your well-being in the right direction, though, and indeed, the opportunity is ripe for the taking.

For many, Type 2 diabetes is a wake-up call. It provides a sudden realization something has to change. Whereas weight gain occurs slowly and in many ways inconspicuously, diabetes comes as a flashing warning that’s difficult to forget. It’s not easily swept under the rug as a sedentary lifestyle is. Though of course, it does have to be diagnosed… There are millions of people with Type 2 diabetes worldwide who are unaware of their condition.

If you have been recently diagnosed, consider yourself fortunate. You’ve been given an opportunity to act before matters escalate into something seriously dangerous to your health.

Some adults are naturally motivated to overcome their rising blood sugar levels as soon as they are aware of their diabetic status. They will seek treatment and management almost instinctively, and they will often succeed after some time. Others need some external motivation to do what’s necessary. It may be due to a lack of instruction or self-confidence. Or simply because they aren’t yet aware how catastrophic uncontrolled blood sugar levels can be.

If you’re like the former, there’s little we could advise you on because you will naturally discover your path. Just keep at it and you’ll succeed.

If you lack motivation or instruction, however, know there’s plenty of information available to you on how to treat high blood sugar levels and lose belly fat. While your doctor can provide you primary assistance, you could also teach yourself how to handle a healthy eating plan successfully. But this would, of course, require you to take responsibility.

It comes down to either you decide to treat your condition, or you’ll potentially succumb to one or more of the diabetic complications associated with Type 2 diabetes.

Receiving a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis presents an opportunity to better your health once and for all. Will you make the best of this possibility?
