My busy, fun-filled job as a balloon twister / balloon decorator

I am finally able to post a little something after months (at least it seems like months) of a packed, busy schedule of parties and balloon décor. I am so grateful and appreciative for all of my wonderful clients whom I do parties and décor for!! Without them, I wouldn't have a job :-)  But I also love having a little time to relax and hang out with my husband and kids. Without them, I wouldn't have a life ;-)  I'm using this post as a catch-up for being unable to post regularly. Just a bunch of pics of décor that I've done recently. I've tried to be diligent about taking pictures when I'm doing a balloon twisting/face painting party but honestly, I just don't have the time to snap a picture of a balloon I've made or face that I've painted when I have a line full of anxious kids wanting their stuff done right away :-) The kids wants come first before a picture. I am trying though!

My Face Painting Set Up

I know I neglect posting about the face painting part of my business but face painting is as fun and as integral a part of what I do for kids as balloons. So I'm going to start posting pics and tidbits when I face paint for parties and events.

I recently turned an old guitar case into my face painting station that I have been using for all my parties. It's awesome and super convenient to set up and take down.

This is the guitar case before I fixed it up...I spray painted it black on the inside and mounted my foam core for paints.

This is the "after" picture...it has everything I need for awesome face painting at the tip of my fingers. I just open to set up..close to take down.

Frozen Birthday Party and Princess Parties

This last weekend, I was able to be part of an adorable Frozen-themed 3 year old birthday party. I was in awe of every little girl who went all out and danced, sang and believed they were princesses too! If only I could capture all that wonderful energy and imagination ;-)

Valentine's Day

I love Valentine's Day! There is so much love and good feelings all around. It's also a day that I am extremely busy delivering some of the love and good feelings for my customers to give to their loved ones. This is a picture of my morning delivery to one of my favorite teacher's at my kids school. She requested for something fun to give to her husband. She was extremely happy with it.

Why I love what I do

This was a balloon piece that I made for a customer who asked for something to give to her client to signify his 85th birthday and his passion for motorcycles and past life in the military. So I made an army-colored birthday cake with a motorcycle sitting on top. The balloon motorcycle was taught by Mr. Boma of Mr. Boma's balloons on YouTube. My customer said he loved it. That's what makes what I do worth it!

 

 

My Regulars

One thing I love about having my own balloon business is having "regulars." These are the people I always look forward to making balloons for. They trust my "artistic design" in making their balloon creations...whatever it may be. They give me a general idea of what they want and let me run with it.

Today I made and delivered 14 simple Valentine balloon flower arrangements for a hospice company "regular'. They are such awesome people and am happy that they come to me when they want balloons to give throughout the community.
