September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month + I’m a little late sharing but it’s never too late to go gold 💛🎗️

Gold ribbons and balloons filled St. Peter + Paul for “Going Gold Day” in honor of Hayden and her 12th birthday! A big thank you to Sheena Ramsey for her generosity in making it such a special day for her + for letting us play a small part.

We’re Team Hayden here at Pumped Up Balloons… Leave a 💛 below to show this sweet girl you’re Team Hayden too!!!

Also kinda chic to be someone’s “I know a balloon artist” 🎈

Happy 7th birthday, Ayla! 💕✨

When the theme is Fancy Nancy, “a little extra” is basically a requirement + you know I’m always happy to oblige! Such a fun setup for a birthday girl with fancy taste. 🎀

A little bird told me Harlee Kate is ONE! 🪿💗

Okay, it was a goose + she was pretty loud about it.

The pink gingham, daisies, and sweetest pastel balloons made this first birthday setup so fun, but the geese really sealed the deal. I don’t usually welcome honking at my installs, but for these two, I made an exception. 😉

Happy birthday to the cutest little silly goose, Harlee Kate! (Your auntie Tor loves you!!!!) 🪿

Ooh la la… we’ve got a fancy little rivalry on our hands 💅✨

Are you team Fancy + Fabulous or Posh + Playful? Nancy would probably choose both, but I’m making you pick 😂🎀

Comment your favorite below (and tell me what won you over!) + I’ll pick one of you to Venmo Saturday’s coffee money, because being fancy is exhausting + requires caffeine ☕️💕

Another day, another install… and another moment of realizing I get paid to make paper chains and play with balloons. Kindergarten me would be losing her mind 🤪🎈

Full Fancy Nancy for Jerzie’s 15th with bright colors, flowers, bows and a little gold because being fancy doesn’t have an age limit! 👑✨

Ashanti + Nelly 🤝 Pumped Up Balloons 🔥🎈

There are some pretty cool moments that come with this job, but getting to do balloons for KK’s second birthday is going to be tough one to top (not sure it’s possible TBH). Such a fun (understatement) celebration to be part of + I’m grateful I got to bring a little of what I do to it.

This little business has taken me places I never would’ve imagined when I started + this one DEFINITELY deserves a permanent spot on the feed.

Trying to play it cool, but let’s be real... this small town Illinois girl is having a hard time doing so 😎

🧦💙 IT’S KNOX YOUR SOCKS OFF DAY!

Today we’re celebrating the life and legacy of Knox Cassens, and we’ve teamed up with Knox’s mom, Torie of Pumped Up Balloons, for something extra special at Maker’s Market!

🎈 We created a BALLOON INSTALLATION YOU CAN PAINT ON! Yep. Your kiddos, or YOU, can grab a paintbrush and add a little color. Inspired by , we can’t wait to see what this collaborative piece looks like by the end of the day!

Find QCM in Jail Alley, between The Silhouette Shoppe and Maine Center, where we’ve also got:

🎨 Pendulum Painting
🌀 Our Spin Chair
✏️ Scratch Art
🎈 And, of course, PAINTING ON BALLOONS!

And right next to us, you’ll find a bracelet-making station, where all donations benefit the Knox Your Socks Off Foundation, supporting families who have experienced the loss of a child. 💙

Maker’s Market runs until 6:00 PM TONIGHT.

Come make some art. Make a bracelet. Make a mess. And help us celebrate a pretty special kid and the legacy that continues in his name. 🧦💙

Don’t miss it!

Nineteen minutes of on-site install work packed into nineteen seconds 🎈 A whole lot of preparation behind the scenes is what makes being on-site a breeze!
