Subject: Shrunken Heads & Agates

Hi Everyone !
I posted this a number of weeks ago just prior to my e-mail address
going kaput , so it may have not made it to the board, so I'll try it
again.
Here's an idea for Halloween...... I happened upon this by accident
which is how many lessons are learned......
We were making Donut Faces  one day using the usual Geo Blossoms
decorated with 260Q's, underinflated 5" balloons for eyes & noses, etc.
Well, one face developed a slow leak so I carefully punctured all  the
rest of the balloons on the face and voila, you have a very different
face belonging to a Shrunken Head !  This could be used for Halloween
decor or maybe a jungle theme.

I've been reading some of the past posts regarding how most agates don't
float as long as regular balloons.  Well, I tried this.......  I double
stuffed an agate with an 11" diamond clear balloon which was hi-floated
and pre-stretched and inflated it.  The agate has stayed floating for 3
days so far.
I'll let you know how long it stayed up.

Now, a question.....  What exactly is a "referral fee " and how does it
work when you are working with a party planner, D.J, etc..?
Thanks in advance.
