Being a military mom and card maker, I make cards for our troops to send home to their loved ones. Here's the link to Debbi (with no "e") who coordinates the collection and shippment of all the cards. Her son was nice enough to send a photo of his group, along with thank notes from the troops. If your not a card maker but want to help out, you can send Debbi first class postage stamps. The troops still have to put the correct postage on their mail headed back to the states.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
Some times you just have to do something different and see the world from a another angle.

What's with the blog name?
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Where are they? I thought that troops got to send their mail for free?
From what I've been told when they mail letters back home it has to have regluar postage.
I know one of the photos I didn't post was taken in Baghdad. They are somewhere in Iraq. They don't or can't tell us where excatly. I know my son can't tell us where is his because then we would know where his plane was.
