I had my skype session with Buster 2 weeks ago (sorry it's taken me a while to post). What a fantastic guy he is! We had a good chin-wag for well over my allotted hour. Buster was really encouraging, warm, funny and passionate about balloons.

I asked him to show me how to do a frumple twist as I hadn't attempted it yet. I was very relieved not to pop the balloon! - my effort at his shark is below

He also gave me some great tips on sculpting faces. Buster had some really helpful advice on marketing, performance and bringing together other parts of my life with balloons to use them in a new way - watch this space!

I was very nervous before 'meeting' him but I am so glad I did. There are some truly kind, generous and inspirational people in this world of balloons and buster is a perfect example of that.

Thank you Graham for offering this prize - loved loved loved it! xxx

I enjoyed reading your tale, glad it went well. Maybe I should have had my hour with Buster myself then. You will have to tell me all about it when we next go out for a meal together

That's brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

So cool Rhian!  Thanks for posting this for us and you are so right - there are so many sharing and caring balloon people out there.
