I've not visited here for a while and also not made any balloons for a number of weeks. This tends to be the case with lots of things i try and do, mostly because there aren't enough hours in the day! I want to do more ballooning, so can you guys post up some pictures to motivate me, and tell me what inspires you to twist.

Could you not view the past two pages of active topics, I'm sure there will be something there to get you going or go to the events section and have a look at some of the care and share days.
I posted over 200 pictures from the Sutton event in October and have just started to post pictures from Birmingham that was on last week. Hope you find something, look forward to seeing what got you going again.

I check in here pretty much every day.  Inspiration is here in so much quantity that I can't possibly try all the things I see on here.  Once in a while there is a creation that catches my eye and haunts me until I attempt to duplicate it.  I get into slumps as well if I don't touch base with this forum each and EVERY day.  Just join in and look, you will find plenty of inspiration!!!

Yes, you are both right, and I did at one point sit glued to the forum! I think what puts me off trying lots is that it costs money to keep going. Oh well. I'm nicely inspired now! And I have been unable to get to the care and share days because of the bands etc i play in. Hopefully soon! Off to try a Ken Stillman awesome bouquet!

Also asking for balloon stuff for christmas!!

Well Mujician,  I live in Canada and I would love it if I were able get to the care and share days.  To be able to talk to other twisters, one on one would be amazing!
