An envelope? And a Pity party

I was planning to make one of these for my daughter Heather....do you know what it is?

 I embossed the outline of the image and coloured it in with my Copics.

 It is a book mark...a corner book mark to be exact.
I have been thinking of a way to make a book mark for my daughter Heather.
She is very particular in how she picks out her books and how she handles them.
I don't know how she does it, but after she has finished reading a book you can't even tell she had read it.
She has scolded me a few times for using the wrong type of book mark or putting it deep into the book to close to the spine.....yup she is worse then me, lol.

So I checked YouTube and found some cool origami style ones.
But I thought they would be to bulky for Heather's taste.
So I made this out of an envelope, yup you guessed it, the same ones you get in the mail to mail your payments in.
I was all pleased with myself, only for her to tell me its still to thick.
So she will continue to use the ghost cut out that I had laminated.
I will save this one for me....but not when I borrow one of her books ;)

LOL, I just read this book page, maybe I should have picked a different page, lol.
It is from the last book in the series of the Hunger Games....it really is a great series.


If you were here for the crafts you may want to skip this next part and ignore the rest of this post.
I have been feeling not myself for a couple of years.
Some say its from my dads passing, but I really don't think so.
For one thing some of my health issues are in full force and it is getting me angry.

I am not one to roll over and take it as it comes, I am one to put on the gloves and go in fighting.
But right now, I am feeling fightless. Tomorrow may be a different day.
So I thought I will change the things that I can.
So today Heather and I went for a hair cut. I haven't cut my hair in 2 years......hey, maybe that was my problem, lol.
I got about 8.5 inches cut off my hair and also some bangs.
Of course when I woke up this morning I had a great hair day, lol.
My new cut ;)

I am planning on getting some new clothes that are comfy, yet stylish.
And lastly I am starting my walking again, eating healthier and quitting my Coca-cola.
I know these things are not going to cure me, but hopefully it will help with my funked-up state of mind and body.
One thing I am happy about....my cardiologist is back to practicing. He is only taking a limited amount of patients and is taking it slow. I have a appointment with him this Friday.
So I had the joy of sitting, waiting (for over an hour) to get my blood work done this morning. Of course I forgot to bring a book to read.

Proud Tuesday:
Got a new Do that I am liking so far.
That I didn't have to make supper again today :)
Filled up Ashley's washer fluid in the jeep

What did you do to make you feel proud?

Hope you all had a creative Tuesday :)
