Tell us...what have looked into so far?

Have you searched the BHQ archives?

Have you searched Images magazine?

Have you searched Balloons and Parties Today?

Have you given ANY thoughts as to how big you need this to be?

Have you given ANY thoughts as to what your design area is?

Are you hoping to build one for a centerpiece?

Will it be on the floor?

Will it hang from the air?



Just how are you wanting to include this in your bridal shower?

Have you gotten any reference of budget from your client?

Well the questions go on and on.....

My best suggestion is that you sit down with pen and paper and list

what you know you are doing and what YOUR OWN DESIGN IDEAS ARE and

where specifically you would like us all to take time and provide help to
you with.....

Next if you do not have back issues of IMAGES and Balloons and Parties Today
may I politely suggest that you pick up the phone and call and place your
orders today?

For roughly a $ 100.00 or so you should be able to acquire for your own
successful future back copies of these incredible publication filled to the
brim and then some with wonderful, exciting, captivating, titilating decor
ideas of all natures.

Just think of the wonderful time you can have at any hour of your day as you
sit at your desk/kitchen table/floor/bed and luxuriously poor through the
pages of the Balloon Decorating Industry's History with just scads and scads
of ideas to get your personal creative juices a flow'in.

And if that's not enough ( and truly sometimes it's not) just cruise through
seemingly endless bits and bites lovingly archived for ALL TO USE at any
time in the BHQ archives.....don't know how to access this wonderfully
amazing key to your creative possiblilities?

Type RIGHT NOW an email to Mark Balzer at BHQ and I am confident he will
assit you in accessing this wonderful creative tool for your own personal
fun and profit!

Thanks again for connecting with all of us.....and

"Good On You" For coming To Best Place For Help In Promoting Your Creative
Growth!  Happy To Participate!
