Amazing things...Remember me?

Hello, all!

Forgive me for the long time between blog posts. Business has been great and the direction of my business has been shifting as well. First the bad news..it was with much prayer and consideration that I have decided to stop my weekly appearances at Friendly's. This was a tough decision for me as the General Manager there, Beverly, was THE VERY FIRST person to have faith in my ability to twist a balloon, 22 months ago. I consider it a true blessing that I am able to leave on such wonderful terms with a great restaurant. They have been nothing but wonderful to me. My final appearance there is this coming Wednesday, October 27th.

This decision stems from some direction changes in my business. Most of you know that I have been focusing on balloon decor this year and receiving training so that I may provide my clients with excellent and beautiful balloon decor solutions. Going forward, I will be focusing on deco-twisted decor for large events; Sweet Sixteen parties, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, Proms, Convention Booths, Anniversary Parties, Corporate Events - the bigger the better.

Another direction change for my business was announced in Southern Berks News last week. I was blessed to have spent time with reporter, Dawn Wivell, who wrote an amazing article about my business where she was able to announce my future offering of an elementary school science assembly. This fun and educational show is currently in rehearsals.  Be the first to tell your school about it now to allow them to book me at my, limited time, introductory rate.   Show booking dates begin in February of 2011 and are being taken now! This super cool show was written by the world-famous, Larry Moss, of Airigami. I am truly honored to have been given his permission to present this show to the area.

Guess what...there is even more news on the horizon. I was interviewed by yet another reporter this past week. This lovely lady is from the Reading Eagle and I will let her be the one to break my next news item. Stay tuned, all. There are many cool things happening in the months ahead.

Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful week ahead!

Where is Miss Balloon Heart this week?

I am sure at one of my weekly restaurants, this week, a guest will ask this question.

Here is the answer.

This Saturday evening, I am heading out to Vegas for a few incredible days of balloon education. I WILL return to my regularly scheduled restaurants the week of August 16th. While the original event that I was planning to attend was canceled, amazing people in this industry stepped up and put together three days of events with only a few weeks notice. Talk about angels! I will have the opportunity to meet, learn from and "jam" with top balloon professionals. You can say it... I do... I am a BALLOON GEEK. : ) What can I say? I have an incredible job and love every minute of it.

On that "geeky" note, I had some time to practice balloon decor pieces this week and I included pictures of the results at the bottom of this post.

May you all have a WONDERFUL weekend and week! I will post updates on my Facebook Fan page about my trip, as time allows. Also, do not forget about the chance to win a balloon twisting kit from me - click here for details.

As always, thanks for making time to read my blog,
