I think it was about 1978 when my very dearest friend Patti gave me one of my most treasured Christmas presents. Inside a cardboard egg carton were a dozen hand made Christmas decorations. Each egg shaped decoration was made up of either countless little colorful sequins individually pinned to a hard foam inner shell,or hundreds of glitter sparkles carefully glued in a unique pattern. The work that Patti must have put into making these still amazes me to this day, as does she. Everything she does is a labour of love. These decorations were a Christmas gift for my first tree in my first apartment. I still have them in the same egg carton and they have yet to show any wear. They are decorations for life,.. just as our friendship.
