Hi Guys!

So much has happened since the last time I’ve updated this blog. To start, I moved to Oregon and fulfilled my greatest dream… I live walking distance to the beach! I also discovered that I had been deceived and, even though the need for an artistic outlet was vital, I was completely dry.

It’s been a year since I rid myself of the liars/manipulators/users and meth-heads. While in Illinois training with my Service Dog for six weeks, I returned to find my home had been vandalized, everything of value stolen (including my diplomas and USMC materials), my bank account emptied, and my two old Border Collies abandoned to die. I lost Princess and Diamond went completely blind.

Yes, there’s a special place in the afterlife for people like my ex and the meth-head roommate. But I have to believe that God never gives us more than we can handle. I’m now happily divorced and free from the leech that was my husband (who, I discovered, had been married FIVE times and used women to support him even though we were the, uh, wrong gender?). My best friend now lives with us and every day is an adventure. It’s because of her that I started repurposing furniture for donation to our favorite charities.

As I get caught up with life, I’ll start to add tutorials for the pieces I’m working on- many, of which, are dollar store and/or free!

Loves to all of you!

Bree
