Subject: GREAT weekend! and Minnie Mouse?

I was twisting for tips yesterday, at the swap meet, my normal venue.  It
was a GREAT day!  Even though part way through the day there was a "clown"
giving out balloons for free... I saw some of his balloons.  <grin>

Now- on monkeys.  I have tried and tried and TRIED to do a monkey, the kind
with the side bubbles twisted to make the ears.  I almost always pop the
second ear.  Thanks to whoever suggested making the ear twists, and THEN
twisting the bubbles into a circle.  I will give that a shot.

Does anyone know how to do Minnie Mouse?  I have instructions for Mickey but
not his girlfriend.  I'm making one for the birthday child at my "pushy mom"
event. <grin>  And next week it is Blues Clues for her cousin- the mom
called and confirmed! Yippee!  Thanks again to all those who helped me with
that one.

Have fun and stay twisted!
