Fitting Tribute

Fascinating Flower Brigade

Fascinating Flower Brigade

Yesterday I was privileged enough to be able to help my friend Rachel and her family celebrate her mother’s wonderful life. Lenore Fleming was a tour-de-force amazing woman, someone to emulate, and her loss is felt – even by people who didn’t know her well. I wish I could’ve known Lenore better.

The service was beautiful and afterward we had snacks, and I made some balloon fascinators for anyone who wanted one. Lenore wanted a party, and she got it.

Best thing ever? This is a G+ AutoAwesome Picture Motion composite of the picture above plus the other photos I took of these lovely ladies:

This photo amuses me, the father in the photo, when I was taking the picture, said “My name is Doe. John Doe.” Then the mother said, “My name is Jane.” The son, we figured, was named Joe.

The Does - John Doe, Jane Doe, and their son, Joe Doe.

The Does – John Doe, Jane Doe, and their son, Joe Doe.

My first RAOBA – Gearing up for another!

If you’ve linked to this post, you might have seen a piece of balloon art somewhere in public. I hope you enjoyed it!

I will be posting more about Random Acts of Balloon Artistry later. Stay tuned!

Baby Shower Fun

Baby in a Basket

Baby in a Basket

My co-worker Stephanie is having a baby and we had a baby shower after work today to celebrate. I thought this was an excellent time to bring out the balloons!

Here is what I came up with. A baby in a basket. The baby, basket and base I designed using material from Robbie Furman’s Oodles of Lootles video as an inspiration. Thanks Robbie!

How to Make a Balloon Dog

How to make a balloon dog. All you need is balloons! And a pump.

I made this balloon dog!

Let’s Go Fishing!

Let's Go Fishing!

I made this because my Mom asked me to. I’m such a good daughter.

Me and Dracula

Dracula and I love to hang out and talk about Halloween.

Just hanging out with MY favorite vampire.

Mmmm, Beer

Mmmm, Beer!

Ed likes beer! (Here my dear husband models a balloon beer. Less filling for sure!)

Hats are awesome!

Hat Party, FTW!

Made this crazy Hat for Katie’s surprise shower. Did not make the huge sombrero. Now, THAT would’ve been a trick.

A little decoration with your wine?

Flash! Aaaaahhh!

I made this at a TJam on the Road with Ken Stillman back in 2005. One of my favorites. I even kept it at the end of the day.

Flash, he sleeps with the fishes.
