But it's nice to see all the different variations  

OK. Random colours, it's what I got my hands on first.

How I stretch open the nozzle of balloons - I use my super duper, handy dandy, special balloon stuffing tool.  :lol:
Two of my Christmas hats: Sugar Plum Fairy and Silver Bells

My version of Linda Hartin's angel bear, antler hat, and my quite-chumpy-compared-to-Thelma's mistletoe- hat.

Kev, If you move the red nose so it sits betwween the brown bubbles at the front but above the reigns I think it would look a much better reindeer.  Hope you don't mind the suggestion?  

Bonnie!!!!  I missed you!!!!!  
Well how lovely your ideas are.  I love the shaping of the 160 to get the bell shape.  That is so neat.  And the simple idea of putting the wings on a teddy and...... well I like all of them.  

Thanks for showing your creations.

Thanks Thelma - it works better!

Wow Bonnie, Loving your hats, they're great!

Thelma, I've missed you too!!!! {{hugs}} Shoot, I've missed everyone in the balloon world... I've had the most horrid case of "creative block" this past summer and only in the last few weeks have new designs started to come to me again.  

Twisterlla (and Thelma) thanks for the compliments.  

This Rudolph design isn't exactly new, more like a combination of a couple of my designs.  It's the one I'm making this year for those silly people who just won't wear hats.  

Happy twisting ya'll
Bonnie, The Balloon Lady

Here's a couple more Christmas balloons I've been making alot.  (They are labled for a poster.  I know you know what they are...lol)  The Santa is make with hearts for the head and body. (body is from Patricks "Lil guy" design).

Quote from: "Dave"Thank you Thelma, I just seen your snowman and gave it a go, but beware of the yellow snow:)

Hi Dave

How is your snowman sticking to his yellow snow?  Is it glue dots or some other balloon magic?

Tonya, love your Christmas doggie!

This is the Christmas Tree Hat I will be using this year. 4 or 5 balloons (including the star).

I loved your idea, and put a tree together .... will take a photo ... this is my 2009 Christmas tree.

Bonnie,...what a nice christmas tree.
That's one of those: why didn't I think of that???

And Jeanine your puppy is so cute!
