I have not posted here for a while, and I love this forum!! So I  wanted to share a column that I made as a thank you to someone, and it has gotten me some business! It is all air filled, so saves on the cost of helium! I hope to meet some of you at the WBC this year!!

Ok, a question that has come up quite a bit lately has been stealing photos. Firstly, I would never use someone else's photo as my own.

I recently saw some photos on a facebook page, and loved the little people that someone made. I re-created them, and posted them on my facebook, only to take them down a few minutes later. I felt like I stole her designs, and I don't want to do that. I had even gave her the credit in the description, but still felt like it was stealing her idea.

I changed the third one I made, but it was fairly similar to the original. The originals are much better than mine, and I am hoping with practice, I can get them better, and add my own style.

What is your opinion on this? Would you be offended or flattered that someone tried to copy your unique designs?

Thank you!

I have been asked to make an arch for an 8 foot table, and wanted to use the clamps that come with the kits for the tables. But, it says you can not go bigger than a 6 foot table, due to the angle of the arch. (It would be too short and squat)

So I went to the hardware store to look for clamps for a table that I could attach PVC to, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how you would do that.

They have clamps that are many sizes and shapes, but I am not sure I could attach anything to them.

Any suggestions?

I am making a 8ft across, at least 5 foot (off the table) high air filled arch using 5 inch balloons!

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Would love your opinion on my new web site. It needs updating, but I like it!

Please let me know what you think!

I attempted 3 Hot air balloons.
The first was with 260's and taught by Vicky Kimble.
I then tried the same thing with 350's and a Lootle.
The last one I tried was with Link-O-Loons, and was almost 10 feet tall!!! I had to hang it from the ceiling, since I only used air.

Hope you like them!

I made this for my sister-in-law's Birthday. Remember when...you were young enough to be proud enough to display your age!!
