One-of-a-kind Wreaths
Hello and welcome to Dawn Couch Designs! I’m excited to share with you a bit about myself, why I craft wreaths and how crafting has changed and saved my life.
All of my life I have struggled with depression and anxiety. Over the years I tried many different coping mechanisms but none seemed to help me find balance and relief from the explosion of emotions. When all else failed I would turn to my tried and true friends Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and together we would numb away the feelings.
During Covid I found myself in the midst of a “perfect storm” I was going through early menopauses, overnight I became a homeschooling mom for a 4th grader with special needs and struggling to hold together a marriage that was falling apart.
My, alcohol had taken total control over my life and I was spinning out of control. I had tremendous depression and difficulty with isolation (as did many of us) but instead of finding solutions to the issues I poured lighter fluid on my wild fire of addiction. In March of 2021, when I could not live another day the same as the day before, I sought treatment.
Through the recovery process I learned new ways to manage stress, anxiety and depression WITHOUT alcohol. Then a friend introduced me to CRAFTING!!!!!
I enjoyed crafting so much and bonus, when I was crafting I was not focused on my addiction and how to get through another day without alcohol. My life became one-day-at-a-time through one-craft-at-a-time. I looked into all types of crafting and learned so much through watching YouTube DIY videos.
Once I discovered wreath making, I fell completely in love. The joy I would feel when walking up to my front door with a wreath welcoming me or adorning the interior of my home… I just loved it all.
Today by the Grace of God and my love of crafting I am nearly 3 years clean and sober, my most important relationships have been restored and I craft every day.
It is from the bottom of my heart that I want to thank you for your purchase and for the special part YOUR wreath has had in my recovery journey.
In addition, you have helped to raise money for children in crisis around the world as I donate 100% of the profits from ALL of my sales to the organization Innocent Voices.
