We ran into a balloon artist today. I think I was just as amazed as the kids watching her twist and manipulate the balloons into whatever the kids requested.
Aaron chose a wasp. The balloon artist thought for a minute and said she didn't know how to do a wasp, but she could make a bee. She had special balloons with black tips for the stinger. Then she tied black balloons around the body to add the stripes. She said she use to draw the stripes on with a marker, but the stripes would come off on the child's hands. I appreciate that.
I was a bit puzzled when Rachel requested a guitar. She doesn't have a passion for guitars, so when we got home I asked her why she requested a guitar. Of course, Hannah Montana.
Hannah has a love for all creepy crawlies, so I wasn't surprised when she requested a butterfly.

Those are so cute, and where do you just happen to "run into a balloon artist" anyway?
Oh, and thanks for the "NEW" tips on the jam making - you cleared it all up! Thanks!
Way cute! I wonder if the balloon artist does Hannah Montana or Zac Effron in balloons. ;-) If not, he ought to learn how.
Thanks for a fun weekend!
We went to a Barnes and Noble one time. When we went into the clearance area of the kid's books, we found a balloon making kit with a set of balloons and a pump for around $5.
And that's as far as we got. Because I'm apparently no smarter than a fifth grader.
It's a fine art, that balloon-making!
Wow, those are some really intricate balloons. I remember when I was thrilled to get a dog or a sword... lucky kids!
Happi,
I got all excited for a micro-second because I thought you were going to tell me how easy it was and that I should rush over to Barnes and Nobles right now in search of my own balloon making kit. Oh, well.
Kristy,
We were at a restaurant and the balloon artist was "working the crowd."
LOL, sorry to disappoint.
It's much harder than it looks. : (
