July a day late

Wow!!! It has been a busy month. A new Library Program for the Milford Library, a Wedding Reception, Summer picnics, Birthday Parties, Bristol Homecoming, and the Enshrinement Festival ... I had GREAT FUN this month with all my friends.

This month's photos are from a Birthday Party that I couldn't attend ... it was on a Sunday (and I don't work on Sundays). So I created a Mario & Luigi for each birthday guest and dropped them off on the way to church for a co-workers son's party.

August is filling up as well with ND's Opening Mass Picnic and their late night student activity "IRISHenanigans" 10pm-1am. Hopefully I will be back with other twisters working the Irish Green area before each home game.
See you around !

Still Here

The Michiana Twister's invaded the Mishawaka Library yesterday (9Jun11) and left them a few large sculptures for their summer reading program "One World, Many Stories". They will be up for a couple of weeks for those in the area to enjoy.

See I'm still around and twisting balloons ... just not on my computer to upload new blog photos. Will try to do better and Thanks for checking !

New Car Design

I was playing around ... OH ... I mean working hard at making bigger tires and once I made the rear wheels out of a Black 646 (6" diameter and 46" long) the rest of the car was pretty quick.

Tonight is our monthly twister's meeting at the Mishawaka downtown library starting at 6:30 and running until about 8:45, so if you want to see the car in person ... just show up !

Runway Clear

I bought a couple of DVDs from Stretch the Balloon Dude. One was "On The Road With Stretch" and it had a fun little airplane with landing gear. I revised the propeller to be a little quicker and made up this fleet of airplanes. What ? You were expecting mushy Valentine stuff ? ;0)

Retirement Party

Today one of the guys that work in the Lockshop retired and they asked if I would make him a balloon sculpture. This is what I came up with. Marv with a Gold Key to Notre Dame.

Family Twisting

I was hired to twist for the Business Admin ND Christmas party Dec 11 and invited my family twisters to help out. Megan and Chris are both learning to be GREAT Balloon Artists. They learn quickly and interact with the kids and adults alike. I am so blessed to be able to share my talent with my family and see how well they carry on the tradition of bringing SMILES to everyone.

December Twister's Meeting

Our Michiana Balloon Twister's Club held our December meeting at Healthwin Home. We twisted for a few residents and then got caught up in the Christmas Spirit and built this sleigh. Everyone pitched in and I hope to get a photo of the group to add in a day or two.
