High School Dance - SUPERHERO idea for "how to ask"

This month I had a request from some teenage girls for some "superhero" balloons.  They wanted to "ask" someone to go to MORP (for those of you who don't know what Morp is...it's Prom backwards...girl-ask-guy).
A couple gals used the phrase:  "You'd be my HERO if you'd go to Morp with me!"
Another:  "It would take more than a team of SUPERHEROES to stop me from asking you to Morp!"
So Fun!

(Based on the superhero design by Ken Stillman.)

WEDDING IN PINK AND WHITE

I was recently asked to do the decorations for a wedding reception.  The bride and her mother wanted "balloons".  The father said, "When I think of balloons - I think of a carnival."  I assured him that we wouldn't let the wedding decor look like a carnival. 

The bride asked for decor in light pink, white, and silver (grey).  She preferred small flowers and very little greenery.  We decided on a lighted "Lace Arch", lighted "Street Lamps" in pink and white, balloon topiaries for the centerpieces and entrance, and a decorative arch for the cake table.  After all the balloons were done...this is what it looked like...

Sincere THANKS to two very talented balloon artists, Marta Hoburg and Kristy Edel, who helped make it all happen. You gals are awesome!

Balloons at the ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS Fan Fest!


I'll confess - walking through the tunnel and onto right field at Chase Field (home of the Arizona Diamondbacks) DEFINITELY made me giddy!  I was helping my good friend, Kristy Edel, set-up Baseball Bat Balloon Columns for the Diamondback's Annual Fan Fest...few others were even visible there in the ballpark.  Can I just say..."AWESOME!"  Funny how such a simple thing can bring a HUGE smile to your face and totally make your day!

The next day, we (Kristy Edel, Marta Hoburg, Taulbee McJunkin, and I) got to spend time making balloon animals for the fans.   Marta and I even were brave enough to do karaoke (we had never heard the "Diamondback Swing" before...amazing how much fun you can have making an idiot of yourself.)  Gotta love it!
