I'm a house junkie from way back. I visit the "Hooked On Houses" blog everyday on my facebook page. I would move every two years just to be able to remodel the house if I could. So well I was checking out the house blogs, there was a mega house posted up for sale in Oregon. The family that is selling the house also has a line of children's clothing (they have eight kids) and other misc stuff. Being a marketing person, I saw this photo and said WOW nice shot. I'm guessing this is one of their kids too. Makes me sort wish I had a little girl to dress up in one of their outfits. Here's the link to the site. edensbouquet
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
