Computer Geeks by balloongeeks.com

 Who wants to send cut flowers when you could send a custom made balloon sculpture? This trio of computer geeks is on its way to NY to say thank you to a support team.  We ship our custom made balloon sculptures across the US. We have to admit we were a little envious of sculpture we recently shipped to Hawaii. 

2012 Fast Pitch Softball Team in Balloon Sculptures


 The 2012 Fast Pitch Softball Team from Christian Academy in Sidney, OH only had 10 team members this year. It takes 9 to play.  This was the first year for playing fast pitch softball for half the girls.  They were an inspiration to everyone who saw them play.  They have a player with one arm, a pitcher who played injured, some struggled to keep their grades at a C or better to be eligible to play, they played teams from much larger schools and not only did they not loose every game, they made it to the final 4.  Then 2 teams pulled out and the tournament was canceled. 

So when the number one seated team said come play us. We went.  I wish I could say David beat Goliath, that it was a slaughter.  It sort of was, but we lost. 

But you couldn't tell they had lost when we went out to eat before driving the hour and a half back home.  The only tears came from our senior, (the injured pitcher) because this was her last game, the community college she will be attending this fall doesn't have a softball team.  They had faced all kinds of difficulties during the season, but they never gave up.

I personally don't know much about sports. But I do know these young ladies are winners.  They prayed together, played together, encouraged each other, supported each other, and inspired all who saw them play.  No, David didn't beat Goliath this time, but the team is young, and with their character I wouldn't want to be Goliath next year.

Monkey Balloon Art

These monkeys were part of a Birthday Party celebration this past weekend.  Yes, the monkeys are missing a tail.  That's because the theme was Curious George and everyone knows Curious George doesn't have a tail.

Mermaid Costume Made from Balloons





Balloon Fashion isn't just for fun. Just don't tell my little mermaid that. She had fun at a costume party, before modeling it for two events the next day. When used as an advertising or marketing tool a Balloon Dress or costume can draw attention to your cause or business.

How to get your business noticed.

Tangles Salon & Spa wanted something that would draw attention to themselves during an annual sidewalk sale for Annie Oakley Days. They have a great location, right down the street from a major brand store that always has crowds during this sale. But shoppers seem to have blinders on when heading to this major brand store, even when they park right in front of the salon.

We created a bigger than life balloon sculpture of a model and positioned her just outside the salon. And as everyone knows a bigger than life model needs a bigger than life blow dryer. If you drove by a store that had a 7' lady model on one side and a blow dryer on the other, I'm fairly certain you wouldn't assume they sell tractor parts.

Shoppers stopped to see the balloon sculptures, take pictures, ask questions about the balloons sculptures as well as the salon, and of course they shopped. Even the local newspaper sent a crew.

The next time you want to draw attention to your business, forget the balloon arch. Let Balloon Creations & Gifts L.L.C. / balloongeeks.com design an attention grabbing balloon sculpture for your business. Sure a balloon arch is cheaper, but what impression do you want to leave with your clients or customers?

Hello Kitty


Hello Kitty balloon sculptures would be a big hit at your Hello Kitty theme party. The pink Hello Kitty stands 3 feet tall and would look great on the cake or gift table. Of course all of our balloon sculpture make great gifts themselves. Our philosophy on a balloon sculpture as a gift, "Take pictures to make it last forever, but lay it to rest before you have to dust it, after all, we can always make another one, or two, or three . . ."

A Night In Paris





A Night in Paris was the theme for Jackson Centers 2011 Prom. The juniors helped to construct all the balloon work and we think they did an outstanding job. When I went back to check on the balloon sculptures the next day, I only had 1 leaf on a bunch of grapes I needed to replace. We love working with the juniors each year to decorate for prom. The best part is always seeing the teens confidence grow as we go along. First responses are usually something like, "We're gonna' make WHAT out of balloons?" "I can't tie a balloon." "What if it pops?" But by the end of the day it's, "Wow!" "I can't believe we did that." "Nobody better pop this." "You guys do this all the time?"

Things may not always go as you planned them when working with balloons and novices. And if those novices are teenagers, well it just adds to the fun. It helps if you are creative, quick thinking, good at problem solving, keep a sense of fun and humor, and stay flexible. Thank you, Tina Alt (my business partner) and Cathy Tenney (Jackson Center prom advisor) for being all of those things.

Coffee for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and tacos for dinner, at least it wasn't escargot (snails) or cuisses de grenouilles (frog legs) to match the theme of the prom. Looking forward to next year.

Alice In Wonderland Prom

We were in Ft. Loramie, OH yesterday and helped them with decorating for prom a bit. Yes, that tree is made from balloons and the students helped us get it together. The students made the cardboard figures at school in art class. Since this school makes most of their prom decor they have a small budget, but by picking 2 balloon decor pieces the were able to make a big impact.

Link-O-Loon Teddy Bear

This is not a cute little balloon teddy bear. It's an adorable teddy bear that sits almost 2 ft. high. Just imagine the squeals of joy and the big smiles this balloon sculpture could bring to your next birthday party. Know someone who is having a baby? Imagine how this bear would stand out among the other balloons, stuffed animals and flowers delivered to the hospital. And I have a feeling that this giant bear would love to play a few games at a baby shower.
