Abi, I put this up in the welcome section for you;


"Welcome to the site Abi,
You'll probably be best with some bags of 260 assorted, here's a link

or give me a ring to discuss"

Yes, you start off with a bag of mixed and then you discover the bubblegum pink - it's not just facepaints that are addictive!

Definitely get to one of Graham's Care and Share days if you can.

Hi Abi
Just a suggestion regarding the mixed bags buy say 3 bags of mixed.
When you get them separate them into the individual colours. When you run out of a colour say pink order a bag of pink and so on this way you will get to see what colours you use the most and which you don’t need to worry about getting. This is what I did when I first changed over from mixed bags and I found it worked well.

Just a tip that I hope is of help.

As a balloonseller, I second that! You will never buy a whole bag of a colour you don't use at all, and you get to find out which colours you use a lot!
Perfect method! I always tell new twisters to do it that way...

(but first I try to get them 3 one stroke pumps, a dual split second sizer etc... )
