Back to Blogging and Red Robin, Exeter, tonight!

Guess what...I will actually update this page MUCH more often than I have been over the last year. 

Rather than lengthy posts once a blue moon, I will attempt to post a few times a week. My schedule has changed, recently, allowing me the opportunity to schedule time to work on my blog posts. That is today's project. To get the ball rolling. : )

So, my first post is to say "Hi!" everyone. I'm still here. Thanks for reading this blog posts and following me here. Those of you who follow me on Facebook know that I am quite active on there but I will do my best to post regularly here as well.

Tonight, (Tuesday evening), Miss Balloon Heart is at Red Robin, Exeter PA for Kid's Night. She loves her time there and enjoys immensely visiting with the families who come back week after week. A few, she is even beginning to learn their names and those who know Miss Balloon Heart well, know that this is no small feat for her.

Miss Balloon Heart will be twisting balloons table-side from 5:30-7PM tonight. Hope to see you there.

Have a GREAT day!

Six Month Booking Hiatus begins.

Hello, all!

I have decided to take an official hiatus on bookings during the next six months. My husband begins his six months of chemotherapy next week and in order to keep things as smooth and peaceful at home as possible I have decided to not take bookings for the entire time of his chemotherapy. I WILL take bookings for 2011 now. I may possibly be able to do events the last few weeks in December but I am going to wait a few months to see how some of his chemo rounds go before deciding on that for sure.

I WILL be working at Friendly's and Red Robin during this time, so do not hesitate to come on out and visit me there! Check my website calendar for current dates and times.

Now, all this being said, things may change, I may find that I AM able to work here and there, and if that happens you will be one of the first to know if you are reading this! So, yes, stay on my email lists and or Facebook Fan page for updates on the few remaining events I have and to see what fun stuff I'm working on and learning. I will also have balloon challenge requests periodically - there is one in the works on my Facebook Fan page.

I appreciate everyone's support TREMENDOUSLY. I look forward to being able to attend all of your events in 2011!

Abundant blessings to all of you!

Next Tuesday, May 4th... Red Robin, Exeter!

Next Tuesday begins the fun. I will drop this off tomorrow at Red Robin! : )

Details are in my earlier post.

Miss Balloon Heart Joins Red Robin Exeter's Kid's Nights and a Booking Update.

Yes, that is correct, beginning Tuesday, May 4th, 2010, Miss Balloon Heart will be joining Red Robin, Exeter's Kid's Nights. Miss Balloon Heart will be twisting balloons table-side from 5:30PM - 7:00PM! The planning for my appearances there has been in the works for quite some time. Both Red Robin and I are THRILLED to be able to announce it "officially!"

Every Tuesday night at Red Robin is Kid's Night! Kids receive...

• FREE tokens to play the games in the game area
  
• A FREE sundae to finish off your meal
• A visit from Red - he makes periodic appearances throughout the evening

In addition, beginning May 4th, if you join the fun between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM, children aged *9-years-old and under will have the opportunity to have Miss Balloon Heart visit their table to create them a special balloon!

*Guests older than 9-years-old may receive balloons, if time permits.

Join Red Robin's eclub, to receive a free burger on your birthday. Click here to sign-up!

========================================

On another note, to update everyone on my booking status. My husband's surgery recovery has been going phenomenally. We DID find out that he needs six months of chemo in order to knock out any potential microscopic cancer cells that may be in his system. Once we get a handle on his chemo treatment schedule, I will be able to accept new future bookings. It is entirely possible that I may only work a couple of weekends a month and more than likely will post on my calendar days that I WILL BE available.

I did have a few things in the works which have had to be put on hold (summer library show & deliveries). The deliveries, I had hoped to start by May, for Mother's Day but that may not become a reality for this year. My restaurant and event work may be all I have time for this summer in the grand scheme of things. Thank you all for your patience and your support!
