Title: Fun, laughter and mental health

Hi all.
My name is sam and im from tasmania. There is a couple of reasons i got into balloon twisting over 10years ago.
1. Im a bit on the odd side myself. I worked in a cafe and found it as i way of entertaining the kids that came in with there parents. Every lunch time i would make more for the following day.
2. Its really the only thing i feel im really good at. They say everyone has a talent. I didnt feel like i found mine till i started doing this.
3. I love love love the reactions on the peoples faces when im able to create the thing that they wanted.
4. I suffer from mental heath issues and oddly find this very therapeutic for me. Everyone things im strange when i take extra gigs over and above my normal day job but it never feels like work to me. I feel like im having fun.
I stumble across this site and love haveing and seeing the group of like minded people who live the same thing as what i do its nice to have someone to bounce ideas off and understands my oddness and addiction with balloons.
Look forward to getting to know you.
Sam the balloon twister

Nice to hear from you and a little about yourself.

The forum used to be a lot busier but like all things now facebook has taken over.
Nice to hear you have the love of the latex  ;D
