Hello,We live in S.Oregon and love it here.We live way out in the country on ten acres and share our home with all kinds of wild critters including bear and cougars.I personally haven't seen any of them yet but Hubby has seen a large cougar in our neighborhood.I love to work with clay (both polymer clay and real clay) and am also a jewelry maker also.I have a nice studio that my Hubby built me several years ago and I work out there everyday.I am currently trying to lose some weight but not trying to hard so it will take a long while for me to get where I would like to be!!!I forget how I found this site but like what I see.
