Diabetes Art Day 2011

Can you spot all the diabetes supplies? "Eye" Think you can!

I'm no Picasso, and the past two weeks have been incredibly hectic and stressful re: my mother's health scare, but I wanted to do something to support and promote the second annual DIABETES ART DAY.

So I took the 5 free minutes I had this morning and created the above.

Then, I snapped my creation with my iphone, mailed it to myself, and when I got to the hospital this afternoon after work, I uploaded it to my laptop and wrote my post!

I will say that the 5 minutes of focusing on something fun and creative made today much less stressful!

Lee Ann Thill of "The Butter Compartment," created Diabetes Art Day to promote the benefit of art therapy for diabetes. And I have to tell you - Working on the above for just 5 minutes but a smile on my face and lowered my stress level 50% !

While this year's submission isn't as creative as my 2010 submission, I'm so glad I participated!
