If you had to choose one model to make for te rest of time why would it be,

For me it would have to e the monkey in the coconut tree hat,
Why? Because its big, cute and it never ever fails to get a laugh

Balloon Chit Chat / What are you must have DvD's
March 27, 2013, 10:06:50 PM
Title says it all, i have watched 113 hours of you-tube videos (i have a chrome plugin) in regards to balloons, i think ive got almost everything im going to get out of that, Most of what i make is bracletts, but i want to make other fast stuff,

I run a photo booth rental company and am trying to expanded into other stuff (i now offer DJ'ing, balloon archs and towers) , the last few jobs ive done where they have not hired a balloon guy (2 weddings and a 50th birthday) ive been making balloons for the kids that were there (mainly to keepp them out of the way so the adults can take photos,)

so im thinking as most of them time i can have an emplyee man the photo booths i can start offering balloon twisting as an add on.

What Dvd's would you recommend as Must have, Must see.

Well i loaded up my balloons (she got me a twist-em up jumbo,) and it not even full yet, still waiting for my specialty balloons (head, geos ect..). abd its heavy, i jumped on the scales and its cloaked in at 10lb already

Welcome / Aloha, From Hawaii
March 22, 2013, 07:52:31 PM
Hi there My name is Andrew but every one calls me London - Why because its where i grew up, I moved to Honolulu, Hawaii in 2006, got married had a kid and lived happily ever after.

Well anyhow, i stated making simple balloons a while back but never realy spent any money on it, the last few months i have spent some money and put some effort into it, children s 1st birthdays and graduation partys here are huge, i already run an entertainment company (photography related) so i thought this might be a fun add-on once i get good enough, Having a 4 year old daughter is great for ballooning she gets all excited by my creations (take bits of this and bits of that and mix and match to make them my own).

i created a list of you tube videos that i have watched and learnt from and it grows all the time (i got at-least 1 item for every letter in the alphabet and the list growns all the time (i cant tell you the number of hours i spent watching youtube balloon makers ) You can find them all in a Post HERE  //http://balloonchat.co.uk/post52910.html#p52910

well i hope you learnt a bit about me and i hope we can learn together and share some more.
