Lovey the Clown 1st place in Ballooniversity Balloon Competition!


Hey friends,

This is my lesson in perserverence. Did anyone know that I cried the first time a took a balloon workshop. A little over a year ago I was what I fondly refer to as a "lurker"! I would go to balloon jams and watch everyone in amazement, but would never consider participating. I was toooo self-conscience and embarrassed! Also, the entire time growing up, if something was not easy for me... I would pretend I hated it and would not continue! Well, tonight, after being a closet balloon twister for over a year, I entered a balloon competition, a very low-key, fun, no pressure one, but won 1st place nevertheless. I just thought I would test my creativity and see what happened. I had a blast. The staff and teachers at Burton and Burton are phenomenal and the decorators that attended this workshop were so down to earth and fun! I had the greatest day ever! Oh and I won a twist n flate balloon pump! Yippee for me.
