Last week my old washing machine started to leak on the inside and my dryer has been sounding like a giant hamster running on a wheel for a long time. It's been 20+ years since I've had a new washer and dryer. The ones we just got rid of, were ones we found on Craig's list for free. They lasted about four years which wasn't too bad for free. I really wanted to get ones that were more energy efficient and use less water. Hubby built the base (didn't see the need to buy the drawers) which put the washer and dryer at a nice height. I really like the sweater rack feature. Now I can dry my hiking boots after walking Annie in the rain.
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
