Sharing some of my BMTV moments 😊
This is the one where I show how to put a latex balloon inside a Bubble balloon, perfect for centrepiece toppers 😊

It’s been a little while… but I’m excited to say that I’m back doing what I love most… designing with balloons!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been quietly working away on a brand-new collaboration with GRABO Balloons, exploring creative ways to use their incredible foil balloon range.

This is the first of my new BalloonScape/story board concepts - a collection of designs that show just how versatile foil balloons can be when you start thinking beyond the traditional arrangement. I can’t wait to share more of these with you over the coming weeks!

Even more exciting… next month I’ll be joining the amazing Loretta at her Perfectly Popped Content Day, where attendees can get hands-on creating one of these BalloonScape designs alongside all of the incredible content and business inspiration she has planned.

If you’re looking for fresh ideas, beautiful content and a fantastic day surrounded by other balloon professionals, I’d absolutely recommend joining us.

To book your place visit www.perfectlypoppedballoons.co.uk, there are only 3 spaces available!

This really does feel like the beginning of a new creative chapter, and I can’t wait to take you along for the journey.

Who’s ready for more …

Warning… not balloon related 😊 Other than balloons, my other passion is growing flowers, what’s yours?

These flowers are from my garden this morning, the sun is shining and they are literally blooming!

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the sunshine ☀️

Ever created a beautiful balloon display, only to watch it lose its shine far quicker than expected? I remember when I first started working with balloons and had no idea why! So let’s talk about what’s really happening.

A Quick Note on Balloon Shining Products….
While shine products can make a huge difference to the overall look, they should be used with care. Spray versions can create slippery surfaces and may also cause damage to floor, wall surfaces and upholstery or surrounding decor, so always apply mindfully and protect all areas with cloth protectors.

Well, we did it! 10 miles at the stunning Blenheim Palace for charity. The day was emotional and joyful all at the same time. Walkers celebrating the lives of those who have lost their fight and those who were grateful, like me to have the gift of life, and have the opportunity to help others. The feet are still a little sore, just a small price to pay, however, I would like to say a massive shout out to Amanda and weledauk who offered the most wonderful foot massage after the walk using some of their fantastic products… loved the Arnica Oil!!

And finally a massive thank you to each and everyone who sponsored John and I, it truly meant so much to us to have you supporting us ❤️
