I originated this project for our Boo Hoo Breakfast.  I scoured pinterst and the internet looking for tips.   What kind of marker should I use?  What’s the best way to get the letters on the balloon?  Can you buy balloons and have them inflated later?  I was hoping someone else had already figured it out and worked out the kinks.  Nothing.  So I had to figure it out on my own.  I wanted to use these balloons at the entrance of the banquet hall where we have the breakfast to welcome our new Kindergarten Parents to the school.  I’ve since done it for G’s Birthday and I’ll do it again for her belated party this weekend.

First pre-buy  balloons at Dollar Tree.  The $1 price includes the balloon and inflation. Buy the balloons to take home and decorate. Save the receipt and take them back for inflation after you’ve finished decorating.  I use the same exact process that I did for my Chalkboard project (seen here).  Print on paper, chalk the back of the paper, trace with a pencil onto the balloon.  Here I used a chalkboard pen, but I’ve found that a paint pen works well too.  Sharpies tend to dry out, so stay away from them if you can.  But in a pinch they work too.

I used chalkboard fonts, GrutchShaded and Pea Ellie Bellie.  The Dingbats are Happy Day Dingbats.

Lightbulb moment💡 My life is apparently BravoTV. I’m driving, listening to Radio Andy Theater Live and drinking out of one of my favorite mugs. #rhony #whatsnottolove #lifeisacabaret #bravoaddict

All I can say is Ron Hawkins sounds like he did 20 years ago. Fonda, I’d tag you if you had any social media presence at all. #happy50thbirthday . #lowestofthelow
Thank you Besta Pizza for saving the day. I went to just buy slices for the kids and their friends after this catastrophe and they gave me new dough! Turning my grilled pizza disaster into the perfect pie. 🍕

Is it too much to ask for some sunshine? ☁️ At least the knee is feeling better today 🤞
Enjoyed watching TJ’s team beat their crosstown rivals at Key Bank Center on Saturday. Boys got a locker room visit from Girgensons and watched the Sabres win over Ottowa that night. #makingmemories 💙💛🏒

Patiently waiting for a sunrise 🌅 it’s going to be a long winter. The bright side? more hot cocoa and snuggling under warm blankets. ♥️
