Hi Curtis,
Balloon School was fun, informative and had lots of tips and tricks that were
very helpful to me in my business. The instructions are well written and easy
to follow. I highly recommend it -- whether you're a beginner or an advanced
decorator.
Also, your ongoing support is fabulous and I truly appreciate it!!!
You have even helped me with things that weren't included in the Balloon School.

Curtis,
Thank you once again! I will follow your directions and send you some more pics
of my progress. This is quite fun and I am enjoying myself trying to
make this work. You are, as always, very helpful. Talk to you soon.

Curtis,
Well, the event went phenomenally well. As a side benefit, I ended up on
the morning news! They were filming the event and my arches got a good
play as they were set up at the starting line. My sign was hanging from
one of them and with any kind of luck, it got seen.
I have two more coming up - one on Thursday and one a week from Thursday.
This is so exciting and fun! I even ended up gettin g free tickets to a
Razorback Alumni game that wil be played in early October. I am so
thrilled I took your course and it has already paid for iteslf at least 5
time over and wil continue to do so.
Starting tomorrow, I will be marketing to event plannersall around the
state and beyond. It is a blast to set up and such satisfaction to see
the race begin under my work. What more can I ask from a career?
I have included pictures of the arches at the event. Bear in mind that
the smaller of the two arches was set up and the powers that were decided
to raise it up, so it does not look complete anymore. It was 9 feet tall
and for some reason they raised it to about 12 - and in the process, they
apparently popped a balloon. All in all it was an incredible experience
and another 2 will be coming shortly.
Lastly, I'd like to say that this is such great way for the family to
come together and do something as a unit. We're having great fun, I'm
teaching my daughters about running a business while earning some money
besides!
Thanks for all and enjoy the pics!

Thanks for your help. We made back our money spent 3 times over on the first deco that we did. We lined the hallway at the Marriott with columns leading to a double entry arch at the ballroom. It would be helpful to have more slide show type instructions. Charlotte Miera AZLUMS

Adding balloon decorating to our floral services is really helping. Margie at Minnie Winnie Flowers and Gifts.
We did a large inlay wall last week for a trade fair. it was a food supplier event. I hope to do the exploding wall for them at the same event next year.

I am using a flying column almost everyday to attract customers to our floral shop. We have not decorated any events yet but have several good prospects for this summer. Thanks for your assistance. Bud and Millie at Fair Plaza
