I had planned to be a stay-home mom. However after 8 1/2 years of trying unsuccessfully, we went into debt for a new sports car and a new house in the country ... 2 weeks after moving in... I got pregnant. It hated not being able to stay home with my son and thought maybe if I made enough money being a clown, I could quit my regular job. Well, by the time I could turn it into full time, my son started school and it wasn't worth giving up benefits ... but I loved clowning and twisting so much that I kept both jobs.  My real passion for twisting and what could be done with balloon twisting came from a friend of mine ... Jill Schmidt (Silly Jilly), I met her one day about 10 years ago and she was twisting a Bugs Bunny. She taught me to make Bugs and I have been hooked ever since.
