Hi,  I thought I had better follow protocol and introduce myself, even tho the forum is very quiet.  I decided to join because even tho I played with balloons a few years ago, I have just been booked as a face painter for a birthday party, and they want balloons as well.  And I thought this was the best place to come for quick fast tutorials.  Easier to search here than youtube.
So thanks for keeping this forum open and running
