I’ve been in a bit of a creative slump lately. So today I decided that, no matter what, I was going to devote my day to something creative. Little did I know I would learn an important lesson. I decided I would first do a quick little design on my Silhouette Cameo 4. I’ve been […]
Phil Predicts Early Spring
Here in Texas we had a beautiful 70-degree day! While Phil was pulled out of his little stump in the midst of snowfall, he still “predicted” an early spring! How wonderful it will be to have extra fun days to whip out the balloons, face painting, and crafting fun for gigs where we don’t have […]
Endings
At the end of 2019, I closed my soaping business (Merry Sherry’s Small Batch Soaps). Last week I sold off all my supplies and equipment. It was really hard to let this business go. It was never much of a money-maker, but I enjoyed the soap making process from beginning to end. I will continue […]
Happy New Year
Each new year brings us the opportunity to find joy, peace, creativity, community, hope. My sincere hope for each of you reading this is that – whatever the time of year – you would experience all the good that life has to offer. Blessings for 2020!
Changes for 2020
If you follow my Facebook page, you know that I am closing my soaping business (Merry Sherry’s Small Batch Soaps) at the end of 2019. I’ve been making soap since I was a little kid and created Merry Sherry’s Small Batch Soaps a few years ago. While I’ve enjoyed it, soaping today is a very […]
Thanksgiving!
The leaves are falling so fast around here these days – and all the colors are screaming THANKSGIVING! Beautiful reds, yellows, oranges, and touches of purple here and there. We don’t always get pretty leaves in this part of Texas. But this year has been very nice. I’m getting ready for my final show of […]
Frozen 2 Has Arrived!
Have you seen it yet? I’m holding off until after Thanksgiving so the crowds will drop down a bit but can’t wait to see it! In the meantime, I’ve been working on some fun Frozen balloons for candy cups and princess parties. It’s not too late to schedule a Frozen party either before or right […]
Candy Cup Orders
The holidays are filled with opportunities to surprise and delight friends, family, and coworkers. A really fun option is to present them with Balloon Candy Cups: balloon sculptures topping a clear cup that holds treats and/or gifts. I offer candy cups from $5 (unfilled/simple designs) up. The average price is $8.00 for candy-filled multi-balloon cups. […]
Summit High School Band Booster Craft Festival
Just had a terrific time at the Summit High School Band Booster Craft Festival in Arlington, Texas. Face painting and glitter tattoos were offered and had a great reception. Nothing beats that wonderful smile when someone sees their “new face”!
More Than Just a Pretty Face
Did you know that I teach painting/craft classes? YES! I can combine these with a balloon twisting or face painting time at a birthday or other type of party. Or they can be scheduled as standalone events. One of the surprising offerings is a silk scarf/handkerchief dying class. Sounds messy – right? Not at all! […]
