I was spiralling out of control

I don't have many memories from my childhood, but the memories I do have relate to food - picnics with bacon and egg pie, my mother’s home cooking, Sunday bread. I was never much of a sweet tooth, but instead I preferred savouries, pastries, breads and the like. I grew up on a farm and food was plentiful and was never restricted and I lived a pretty healthy, active lifestyle.

Once I hit my teenage years, however, I remember starting to get worried about my weight. (I'll just mention here that I don't think I have ever been overweight and I certainly wasn't overweight as a teenager).

Chicken eggshells decorated in fine decoupage - a reasonable selection suitable to hang on your Christmas Tree as a special decorative item for this year. (Free local delivery)
Check out more information and designs on my Facebook page...

www.facebook.com...

Each of these unique real eggshells, laid in New Zealand, has been decorated in the art of fine decoupage.
Each shell is blown, sterilized, handcrafted, and encased in at least 20 coats of high gloss lacquer, giving them a hard glass-like finish. The process usually takes 3-4 weeks to complete.
The shell will break if dropped on a hard surface.
Eggs symbolize the source of life; they are given as an expression of the love and friendship in the giver's heart. Your interest is appreciated.
(Examples shown here - price does not include the stand.)
