Thank you all for reading and may you all be abundantly blessed this week.

A toothbrush and Marty Mouse

The toothbrush is for my dentist who was kind enough to be one of my very first clients! Tomorrow, Balloon Heart Jr. and I have our dental appointments and we are going to bring in our balloon orders with this surprise. A shout out to my balloon twisting forum friend, Peter John Lindsay who was kind enough to share his awesome pictures and instructions.
Thank you, Peter John!

Above is Marty Mouse, made for a birthday party over the weekend. Balloon instructions courtesy of Ralph Dewey's "Dewey's Celebrity Balloons" book. He will be one of the many instructors at the balloon twisting convention I will be blessed to attend in August.

Some recent birthday party creations....

Birthday parties booked with me that last for 1.5 hours or longer, receive a custom birthday balloon birthday cake at no additional charge. Below are some recent creations that I have brought to parties.

Yes, that is supposed to be an animal rescue dude. Hubby said it looked like "Uncle Animal Rescue Dude." I tend to agree with him but hey, it was my first try. Five-year-old Darling Daughter, however, loved it!

Sports Themed Birthday Party

Simple Birthday Cake

These are all good for centerpieces or hats. Names have been edited out of the picture.

Math posts??

Yes, I guess I have too many blogs when I post a homeschool math article to my balloon twisting blog. Sorry if you all got it, I moved it to where it appropriately belongs. I have some exciting things to announce and I'll blog about them by Monday! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Week of May 11

Hello, all!

This week is a light balloon twisting week for me, by choice, as Encore Theater Company is holding auditions for the fall production of Music Man and I get to have fun assisting with casting the show.

However, I look forward to seeing all of my friends at Friendly's on Shoemaker Rd. in Pottstown on Wednesday evening from 5:00-7:30PM.

What I have been up to...

I completed my VERY FIRST balloon show on Saturday night for a church congregational dinner. I had the best time and received many affirmations that I am on the right path. If you know of a church that is interested in a 30 minute gospel balloon show, definitely tell them about me as I now have one ready to go! Below is a picture of the two "lions," from our balloon version of "Daniel and the Lion's Den."



I also got word this week that I will be the balloon twister for "Agora Showcase" events all around the eastern side of PA in June. This will be seven public events at different Barnes And Noble locations. I could not be more excited. That being said, I will not be doing many parties on the weekends in June, as I will need some family time and recovery time.

Additionally, I was scheduled back at the Hard Bean Cafe for Thursday, June 5th at 10:00AM and also Monday, July 6th at 11:30 AM, immediately following a story time led by the Boyertown Library.

Yes, I'm busy, busy, busy. If you are waiting to book me, well, I would not wait long, as I have June almost completely booked and have late summer and fall dates already coming in.

I pray you all have a wonderful week. Thanks for reading.

Happily Twisting Balloons,

Miss Balloon Heart

Happy Mother's Day !

Princess Birthday Arch

I have a princess themed birthday party today. I wanted to do something different from the balloon birthday cake and I've needed an excuse to work on princess balloons, so I made a couple of princesses and am going to have them deliver the message (which isn't complete in this picture).

Week of May 4th...

Hello, all! Hope you are having/had a wonderful weekend. Can you believe it is May already?

I had a wonderful time this morning at Limerick Bowl, twisting balloons for their Junior Leagues. What a party they throw there!

As for this week.....

You are always welcome to join me at my regular Wednesday evening balloon twisting spot - Friendly's on Shoemaker Road in Pottstown - yes, right by the Wal-Mart. I will be there from 5PM - 7:30PM.

I also will be at the Hard Bean Cafe in Boyertown this Thursday morning, May 7th, from 10:00-11:00AM. Moms bring your children and get yourself some yummy coffee!

I hope to share some exciting public events with you all soon. I have a few in the works that have me jumping up and down.

On a non-balloon note, if you are local to Douglassville and have children interested in theater, Encore Community Theater, for children in K-12th grade, will be having their auditions for their fall production, "Music Man" next week - I will be assisting with casting, so yes, I will be there but without balloons. : )

I wish you all a blessed week. Thanks for reading and I look forward to seeing you soon!
