Title: more decor pics...
Post by Melissa on Jul 23rd, 2006, 8:12pm
For those that wanted pics of it...

These are from my Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary party I decorated for on Saturday.  Mind you, the guy I got my helium tank from f'ing shorted me on helium (I am supposed to be able to fill 160 11" balloons with my 80 cu.ft. tank.  I only had enough air out of the f'er to do 48.5. >:(), so I couldn't even do the beautiful bouquets I had planned.  I had to improvise and this is what the final product was...

As usual - great job Melly.  Your Grandparents must have been very impressed with your handiwork.

Thanks everyone!  Hope you all don't mind a few pics of jobs that I have every once in awhile (WHEN I start getting the jobs, lol ;)), as I do love to share.  Doing balloon decorations is so much fun for me that I just can't help sharing with my family! ;;D

It means that I didn't want to give them a heart attack from having my balloons pop! [smiley=laugh.gif]

Great work Mel. I'd like to have your talent. My question is how you come up with 48.5 ballooons. how do you know if the balloon is only half full and what do with the .5 balloon? ;;D
