Shrinky Dinks are usually sold as 8-inch by 10-inch plastic sheets.  Use colored pencils,  markers, and ink on Shrinky Dinks. Use the colored pencil on the rough side of the sheets, and use Sharpie or permanent marker on the smooth side. Some Shrinky Dinks come pre-cut and with designs already outlined on them, and others will just be the plastic sheets.  Don’t use oily or waxy substances like crayons or oil paint on Shrinky Dinks because they will melt in high heat. Some sheets are machine-sanded frosted sheets that usually come in packs of 10. Some Shrinky Dinks come as non-sanded sheets, though; that version requires permanent markers. Printing from a computer directly onto a sheet is also possible, and works great with photos.  Print letters in a mirror image so they can be read from the nicer shiny side once shrunk.  Tracing is popular as well.

Q: The end of a relationship--no matter how long it lasted--is a loss, and with loss comes grief.  Everyone grieves differently, but grief has some common elements. The five stages of grief introduced by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in 1969 have become a universal guideline for what someone experiencing a loss can expect to go through:  denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.  You won't necessarily go through all of these stages in your journey toward healing and even if you do, you may not go through them in order.  Still, it's good to know what you might expect and understand that what you're feeling is perfectly normal. Depending on the circumstances of your breakup, you may also feel sadness, loneliness, regret, anxiety, guilt, insecurity or a variety of other negative emotions. You may also experience physical symptoms of grief.  Headaches, nausea, insomnia, loss of appetite, weight gain, aches, pains and fatigue are not uncommon for someone going through a breakup. Keeping your emotions bottled up can prolong the pain you feel.  This is the time to reach out to friends and family members who are good listeners.  Or if you're not much of a talker, you can share your thoughts in a journal or blog.  Talk to someone you trust. Turn to your mom, your grandma, your aunt, even your cousin or best friend. Sharing your feelings and knowing that someone else understands what you're going through can ease the burden of your grief. Have an imaginary conversation with your ex.  One study showed that people who had imaginary conversations and then said goodbye to their partner had more relief from grief than those who didn't.   Write a letter to your ex--but don't send it.  Rather than fuming about what you should have said and what you'd say now if you ran into your ex, commit those thoughts and feelings to paper.  Don't worry about being terribly coherent, and good grammar and spelling certainly don't count here.  The idea is to get the anger, sadness, resentment and whatever other emotions out of your system and onto paper. It turns out that using bad language may benefit you by reducing your pain.  A study published in NeuroReport showed a link between cursing and pain reduction. Whatever form it may take, turning to a spiritual practice can help you find peace in the midst of the turmoil caused by a breakup.  In a grief study reported in the British Medical Journal, researchers found that people who have strong spiritual beliefs seem to resolve grief more rapidly and completely than those with no beliefs.  Try meditation.  Every major world religion has some form of contemplative practice with a meditative component, so choose the one that suits you best.  These include yoga, Tai chi, prayer, Qigong and transcendental meditation to name a few. Women who hadn't gotten over a relationship by 16 weeks after a breakup had decreased brain activity in the regions associated with emotion, motivation and attention. In other words, their brains physically changed, which explains the inability to concentrate and to get up and go.  Do not let yourself go this length of time without intervention.
A: Understand the stages of grief. Let it out. Curse if you want to. Tap into your spiritual side. See a professional if you're unable to make an emotional recovery.

Article: Do not be in a rush. Be laid back. If you need to be somewhere on time, leave early so you have more than enough time to get there. And if you are running late, don't worry about it. There's really not much you can do about it now, because the traffic, the stop lights, and the laws of the road are still there. So relax. Drive as if you have all the time in the world. If you are late, at least you will have had a lovely ride. Instead, try listening to the sounds of your car — the engine, the way the tires sound on the road.  Listen to your breathing and your heartbeat. This is an excellent time to learn to enjoy (relative) silence, since in our noisy world it can be hard to find.  Think about why you listen to talk radio or classic rock in the first place. It's probably because it helps distract you from what you're doing, and makes the drive more tolerable. But what's so terrible about what you're doing, that you have to pay attention to something else? This type of listening might even make you better at detecting problems with your car before they become expensive to fix! Feel your belly rise and fall (against the seat belt, of course) with every breath. Count each inhalation and each exhalation, until you get to ten. Start back at one again. This is at the core of Zazen (Zen meditation) and will help keep you calm. Look at your hands on the steering wheel. Are you clenching them? Let go of excess tension. You only need just enough grip to control the wheel — no more, no less. Then direct your attention to your stomach. Is it tense? Soften your belly, then soften your shoulders and consciously let go of tension anywhere else in your body. Take a moment to appreciate that you're in this incredible machine that was specifically designed to make your trip easy. All you have to do is turn a key, hold a wheel, and press your foot. Be grateful that, right now, your car is actually working, not breaking down.  Appreciate that not everyone has a car to drive, instead of taking your car for granted, as if it's a right. Be glad that you can drive on paved, safe roads. Most importantly, be thankful that, at this moment, you're alive and healthy enough to drive.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take your time. Turn off the radio and other distracting noises. Breathe deeply. Loosen up. Be thankful.
