G'Day from Downunder,
For all those on the deco list who could not make the pilgrimage to Balloon
Mecca (IBAC) and the Party Show this year, I figured I might mention a few
new lines that caught my eye in Chicago.

Just about everyone at the Party Show was toting a helium filled Glitterific

I am just one pair of eyes and was only in Chicago for 3 days. Anyone see
something new and fantastic that I've not mentioned above?
