After printer's cabinets, my second favorite storage is cubbies. I found this cabinet at an auction and it was going to go into my booth for sell. As it sat around waiting for me to tag it, I started filling it up with my rolls of ribbon (have a ton of ribbon stashed all over my studio) and unmounted stamps which I store in CD cases. I've been working on making Annie's Halloween costume after finding out they don't make ones her size in the stores. Big dogs like to dress up too. I found a pattern and had to make major modification to it to get it to fit. Annie is long in the body (which is how the pattern tells you to figure out the size) but has a small neck. She's not really happy that I wake her up to make her try it on as I make all the adjustments. Will post photos when I get it done.
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.

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
