Materials:
   One full deck of cards for each participant
   Various art supplies (magazines, newspapers, construction paper, markers, glue etc.)

Hole punch the corner of each card in the deck.  Have each patient create a list of 52 reasons they love themselves/positive qualities/talents.  Write one reason on each card in the deck.  Use the art supplies to decorate the cards.  To finish, use the ribbon to tie the cards together.
