Hello…..What do you think of my title? Are you wondering how a wreath can kill you? Well, it can and I am (as for now, living proof )
This is my story…I will start at the beginning and will continue until my end.
I have been making wreaths for over 20 years. It was the only thing that I felt I was good at…except my girls….
I got married when I was 17 and he was 24 (he is Ray, my late husband ) first baby girl when I was 18, second baby girl when I was 19. Waited 7 years before third baby girl…Well, more on this later…back to the wreath story….
I am now homebound, living with my daughter and son-in-law, on oxygen 24 / 7. Before, I was on my own, very active..it only took 9 months for me to get into this condition.
Tell me, would you be interested in reading my blog..my life and the end of it? Let me know if I should continue.
Please continue as I feel this would be positive therapy for you as well as getting this information out to folks who are still utilizing this product.

I would appreciate hearing additional information can’t understand why materials are not labeled to indicate they may be a health hazard. Think of you constantly and wish things were better for you.

Thank you so my for telling us your story. In November of 2014 I found out that I had stage 4 Lung cancer, went through months of chemo and radiation, by the grace of God and prayer I was cancer free in 2016. Go for ct scans every 6 months now, was going every 3 months. To make this short I started wreath making for Halloween and Christmas last year. It was the first time I made a lot of them with burlap, began coughing a lot while I was making them and was getting congested. Couldn’t sleep at night because of the cough it was so bad that my eyes would begin to water and I couldnt breath, went on for weeks was wearing me out noticed it was getting better as I no longer was using the burlap, thank you so much for sharing, I did not know to wear a mask when working with it. Is all the burlap the same or do you know if any of them are safe. Lifiting you in prayer, and please I would love to stay in touch to hear the rest of your story .
