The marathon Christmas cooking has started! Hubby is making his family's famous squash rolls even though he's on a liquid diet. I just drop off a 12 pound standing rib roast for Christmas eve dinner tonight. I didn't put it in a plastic bag so as I was walking up to the front door it leaked blood all down my pants. I looked like road kill. I was barely able to make it to the washing machine when I got home. Annie thought I smelled great and she was sure I had a Christmas treat hidden in one of my pockets for her. I will be making an apple cake with fresh whip cream along with bringing the ham to the annual Itatani Food Fest.
What a fun Christmas memory - sounds like your day is as busy as mine! Enjoy your family festivities tonite! How fun for all of you. Merry Christmas dear friend!
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
