I thought I would post this card again because this is the last of my samples and I really want to mail it out to a friend, so I need a photo if I decide to ever make it again. It's been a very non creative year and after losing Annie, I've done nothing at all. I did move all my crafting supplies in hopes that I would get my mojo back but it's not happening. When I taught classes for FabMo it helped keep me in the swing of things but COVID shut that down and now living so far away doing classes isn't really possible with my current schedule.

Lisa, I've been out of touch with many things I enjoy over the last 6 months, including your blog. I'm so sorry to hear of Annie's passing.
You have lots of new challenges in your life. The store sounds great, although I understand you needing to live in a place where you feel safe. I wish you luck in finding the right living situation and creative outlet.
I got married, had Covid, retired, lost my mom and moved in the last 8 months. Things are finally settling down, and I hope to get back to creative activities.
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
