My name is Nathaniel and if I was to rate my ability, I would probably list myself at intermediate.  I started up balloons in the mid 90's learning from my father, but never went far beyond basic one balloon creations.  Last summer (2010), I started up ballooning at Farmers' Markets inspired by creations I found on youtube.  I found a big demand and as such, I have officially bought a mass collection of balloons and many DVDs to help expand my knowledge (10-15 dvds now?).  I love ballooning and I love the children who are waiting for the balloons.  I have been blessed with children who are patient and polite.

I have two major goals for next year...  1.  Go to a balloon jam in the states (probably T-Jam in Idaho) and 2.  Design my own website that has a professional appearance.

Next two DVDs I plan to purchase (Christmas money):  
Angels and Ballowers and Bearoons, Oh My!
& Oodles of Lootles

Thanks for this forum and I look forward to browsing from now on as a member.

Welcome Nathaniel and thanks for putting a little write up about yourself, always interesting to read about how people got started etc.
