While our country still suffers from too many deaths due to COVID, we are seeing a dramatic decrease in those numbers. Most states are lessening restrictions and we have a significant percentage of adults immunized. It saddens me deeply that there are many people still saying they want “more proof” that the vaccine is safe […]
Changing the Site
Since it is still unknown if/when we can safely begin face painting and balloon work at events or in homes, I am changing up my site to temporarily remove those pages. While I can create items for delivery, this has to be a no-contact delivery/setup. It will help immensely if people will just follow the […]
Shop Local/Shop Small
It has been months since I last created a balloon sculpture and several weeks since I picked up a face painting brush. Like many, I find it almost impossible to keep my spirits up during these challenging times. I tried to create a creativity thread, but my heart just isn’t in it at the moment. […]
Celebrations Continue!
While face painting must be on hiatus during this phase of the pandemic, balloons are very much available!

Children look forward to laying claim to “getting through” the craziness of school, school, school. But finding ways to celebrate in the current coronavirus pandemic adds a whole new level of “I survived it and lived […]
Celebrating
2020 has been a challenging year in so many ways. For far too many this has been a time of loss: jobs, schools, businesses, social connections, and the most horrific – loss of loved ones. It can feel pretty daunting to just get through the day – let alone think of celebrating anything. But life […]
Don’t Be Slothful!
With the current situation, I think we are all trying to find ways to keep ourselves and our families and friends engaged and as happy as possible. While very important to stay informed, it can leave me feeling overwhelmed. One way I’ve been trying to bring a little joy into our neighborhood (and keep myself […]
Something Fun
This week I’ve had the opportunity to use the Zoom tool to meet up (virtually) with a wonderful group of women from my church. It was so nice to see their faces in “real time”. I hope that you are finding ways to connect and reconnect with people virtually while we get through this pandemic. […]
