Ok, I'm in the mood for sharing I guess.  So I have a couple of other
suppliers to share with you all.   I posted a pic on BHQ
http://www.balloonhq.com/photos/db/complete.php?id=1969, this shows my
costume, the busking bag, and the embroidered logo!!  That's what I want to
talk about today!!  The Logo!!

Our very own Arleenie Beenie does the most fantastic embroidery.  She can
take any image and digitize it and embroider it onto an apron, shirt or a
piece of fabric to be appliqued onto your costume.  At first I got a million
logo shirts to use on consultations and for deco work.  Then I got a grease
spot on my costume and had Arleenie Beenie make me a logo to applique on, it
looks GREAT!  Now I'm getting logos for ALL of my costumes!!  Her prices are
amazingly low.  But she'll only take a limited number of requests at a time,
so get on it.   I think that it just looks so much more professional when
you have logo shirts and accessories.  It looks GREAT on the Twist em up
busking bag!!  I'm working on an entire Balloon Utopia line.  Arlene's email
is:  Arlene Powers  arleeniebeenie@home.com.  She's the "A" of the WAY cool
books.


Next recommendation-- I get my costumes made by a woman in San Diego named
Barbara Hartsuyker.  She can do things by remote if you give her your sizes.
Her number is (619) 582- 7913.  Her prices are very reasonable.  I think
that Arleenie Beenie also makes costumes for people.

Barbara's husband is my web designer.  People keep asking about my site.  I
had it professionally done.  I update and maintain it, but I hired someone
to put it together.  Some of the best money I ever spent.  We get tons of
referrals from it; put up pics of people that we work with, so they can
download the pic and our info; and are able to command higher prices because
of our professional image.  His name is Paul Hartsuyker, and his website is
Http://www.hartworks.net  Most of his clients are all over the world, so
he's used to designing by remote.

So there you have some of my favorite suppliers to help you maintain your
professional image.

The usual disclaimer applies of course, no affiliations except to Balloon
Utopia.  Blah Blah Blah.


Have a GREAT day!!!
