For a few years now, I have tried very hard to do the CD balloon base that Thelma uses. I thought I wasn't strong enough which she could not understand so she gave me very detailed instructions yet again. It finally made sense to this old brain and I actually did it. The people on this forum amaze me with their sharing and I am forever grateful. As I have said many times, I do not do this professionally but I love balloons and make people happy with my creations, but I could not have done any of it without people like Thelma and Graham and Phoenix and Stuart and on and on and on. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
