Title: April Comp Balloons. (Elephant)
Post by: Graham Lee on March 16, 2015, 05:23:59 PM
We are launching the new complimentary balloon packs. Rather than send out random balloon samples that some may not know what to do or how to use.
We have decided to send out packs with balloons so you can make one of the model of the months on balloon chat.
Hoping this will help to improve your selection of models you make and also to het a few more numbers hitting balloon chat and maybe a new member or two.
Each month the pack will change with a new challenge each month, the first selection will run till the end of April and we will have a competition as well.
If you do receive the pack from an order then please post your elephant and we will do a draw at the end of April for a DVD to win.

Please pass on details to others, thanks.

This is the pack for this month, the balloons above the flyer are what will be required and below the flyer we have added some extras in case of a pop or two along the way.

So we hope the packs are a little more helpful for everyone?

Don't forget to post your Elephants from the complimentary balloons that are in the balloon orders we have been shipping out for a couple of weeks now.
You can win a DVD.

Here's mine, the pinch twist on top of the head popped on me just before completion so I just carries on regardless.

I forgot to mention, I will need a picture of the winner with the DVD so we can use it on the forum and facebook for publicity.
Happy to plug your website and facebook page etc so it helps your google ranking as well.

This is a great idea, Graham.

Can I clarify though, do I need to place an order to have the free balloons to take part? (Sorry for being a bit dull, but a bit tired due to a busy week, and can't think straight! )
Title: Re: April Comp Balloons
Post by: Graham Lee on April 11, 2015, 09:12:28 PM
Yes the balloons are sent out with orders and the instructions are written up on the forum here so a nice way of getting a few more hits and hopefully people joining in on the forum and possibly a nice way to say thank you to our customers with a free prize draw every month.

Each month the model will change.

I must admit I failed entirely with the comp balloons but it did inspire me to practice my the 6 petal flower twist

We will put all the names into the hat a week into May so that those that order late in April have a chance to enter if they wish.

So here is my very first post. As a newbie to the chat I would like to say hello to everyone. This in my elephant made with the complimentary balloons.

Only a few days left to enter the April competition, this will stay open till the 7th May as some orders that go out this week will give people a chance to enter.

I did a very slight variation.  But I realised when I took the photo that one of the ears had sprung a leak.  Too much abuse!!!  I had to go out through so here it is with one slightly small ear.  Its sort of like yours Graham but slightly different.  Awkward woman!

Two more days to enter the competition, so if you did order some balloons from us in April then have a look at the complimentary bag of balloons.
You can post your elephant entry and win a DVD, the competition closes on the 7th and I will do the draw on the 8th May.

At the moment we have 7 people being entered into the draw, we did send out a lot more orders than 7 last month, hopefully it will pick up the longer we run the monthly competition.
Tomorrow is the last day to enter and I will pick the winner on Friday.

Sorry for the delay with this competition but the problems with my websites and internet are just growing, I think the two people who were deleted from this competition were Kevin and David who posted as Jana. I will advertise this on facebook for a day to see if anyone else mentions they posted as well and then do the draw.

So who is going to be the first to post in the May mermaid competiton?

Here is mine again. Hope you get the site sorted soon. Sorry you have had a nightmare with it
Title: Re: April Comp Balloons
Post by: Graham Lee on May 11, 2015, 09:34:41 PM
It's only those that were posted from Friday Stuart, we are pretty sure that once the site has a couple of tweaks the pictures will all come back,
it is just the posts from Friday that will be lost forever so only 20'ish posts.
Title: Re: April Comp Balloons
Post by: Graham Lee on May 13, 2015, 04:03:17 PM
I will add, Kevin, David (Jana), Olivia and Caroline into the draw and will do it tonight.

The people going into the hat are,

Stuart
Woblee
Cometomyparty
paintboxsmiles

The elephant should have been made up from the balloons that you received in your balloon orders for April, off to put everyone in a hat and will be back.
And the winner is..............................................................

David who posts as Jana, his elephant was here on Friday but was one of those that went missing Friday night Saturday morning when the forum went over to the new server.
I will get him to post it again when he has 5 minutes.

Thanks to all that entered, we did send out more than 11 orders last month  ;)
