As usual, I was way too busy to take many pictures!  Though many people took pictures of me...  The above photo was taken by 
Van Newland who graciously e-mailed it to me!
Thank you Van!  :)
 
These gals wanted hats - with a dinosaur, turtle & snail!

A new creation!  Horned Alien Hat!!
Also had many other new balloon creations to share at Pecan St. including a Wildcat,
 Shield, Angry Bird and though 
made previously added 
the Peace Sign Hat to my menu!

Angry Birds!!


Jakey was asked to entertain at a Birthday Party in
Round Rock where the theme was "Angry Birds".
I had to Google it.  My thanks to Shane"Das Chupa" Parker
for this wonderful illustration!
 

Then I had to come up with a balloon "Angry Bird"!
Cool - it even flies!!  The Birthday boy LOVED it!  :)
Thankfully, I already knew how to make "Green Pigs"!
 

They even had an "Angry Bird" pinata!
Happy 6th Birthday Jonathon!!  :)

Austin Urban Music Festival - 2013


The Annual Austin Urban Music Festival was held 
on March 30th, 2013 at Auditorium Shores

Tons of GREAT music, wonderful dancers, 
and the kids all enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt

Wild, Wacky & Loopy Hair!

Elgin Western Days
Trying to stay cool while clowning around in Texas in the hot summertime has always proved to be a challenge!

A couple of years ago, I figured out a way to use 
my own hair in a very unique way...   



Pflugerville ChiliPfest

 I would then modify my creation by the event I was working!
Red pipe cleaners with red chili peppers on the ends!  :)


Pflugerville Pfirecracker Pfestival

Though not the best picture, this was one of my favorites!
Sparkly gold pipe cleaners with blue Mardi Gras beads
 topped off with golden fireworks!!

Jakey LOVES being a clown!!

Balloon Seeds!


The kids are fascinated
with the little balloon balls
that I put into balloons!
In giraffes, elephant trunks and wiener dogs
the little balls are food!
In swords and magic sceptors
they are laser power!
Pictured above is my famous
Texas Twister
which is two balloons each with a balloon ball.
Twisted together the Texas Twister turns into a fun game as the balls chase each other!

What is little known however, 
is that when the outer balloon pops - 
the little balloon ball does not! 
It transforms into a Balloon Seed!!
 


Can you see the little balloon ball?

How to plant a Balloon Seed:

1. Plant exactly 3 inches deep into the ground 
2. Water with exactly 3 tablespoons of water
at exactly 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
3. For exactly 3 months 
Do NOT miss doing this exactly to the minute, and using the exact amount of water!

In 3 months time, you will have a balloon tree!

Don't believe me?? 
You should just see my yard!!  :)
