Twisted Mr. Rogers

Yes, I know I’m a nerd, but do you have a Lego minifig of yourself? Thanks to joes.3design for the balloon kit and mini balloon pump, I do!

It’s been a hot minute since I tried a TMNT, but a friend and fellow twister Michael Schalk inspired me try one again.

Since my truck got washed last night, I took the opportunity to put my years-of-service plaque and my Circle of Honor medallion on!

(They were both peel-and-stick, so it was pretty easy)

Spent Saturday morning twisting balloons for the kids (and a few adults 🤣) at SouthPoint Church’s end of school May Day celebration!

This young lady wanted a vampire ballerina balloon and I was happy to oblige!

My almost 12 year old niece Brynn told me this weekend that she would like to try some balloon twisting. I dug through my supplies and found a hand pump and a ziplock bag of balloons for her to take home with her. Her dad sent me these pics later that evening! She’s a keeper!

03/26/2024

I had a young lady ask me for a Mermacorn this weekend. She explained that it was half unicorn, half mermaid. I’m pretty sure that this was a creation of her own imagination, but she seemed very pleased with my balloon version. Who knows, maybe I’ll add it to my list someday!

03/19/2024

Come see me this Saturday March 23rd from 10-1 at the Memphis Area Master Gardeners Spring Fling. I'll be in the kids Zone and will be twisting balloon creations for all the kiddos (and the grown-ups too if you want one)!

03/11/2024

UPS is providing new badging for drivers with 10+ years of service to be mounted on our trucks that shows our name and years of service. There is also a badge for Circle of Honor. Guess who just got his badges in today!?! 😁

You can’t see year on my badge because of the glare, but it says I started with the company in 1989! (Yes, I’m old)

03/02/2024

The last challenge of the day - Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas.

03/01/2024

Another challenge - Bowzer!

03/01/2024

A challenge to myself - the Enterprise from Star Trek.

03/01/2024

Another challenge - a leprechaun in honor of the beginning of March today

Having fun at the Sycamore View Children’s Clothing Sale and got dared to try a Demogorgon from Stranger Things.

03/01/2024

It’s time to stump the balloon guy!

I’m going to be at the Sycamore View Children’s Clothing Sale all day today twisting balloons for the kiddos. I usually try to play around and experiment with new designs and ideas between taking care of the kids.

Who’s got suggestions for stuff for me to create?

02/29/2024

It’s that time again! The Sycamore View Children’s Clothing Sale is this Friday and Saturday! Come by for great deals on kid’s clothes, shoes, and toys! And, once again, your favorite balloon guy will be there both days!

01/13/2024

Almost time for round 2 of the Care Like King MLK Days of Service! This time I’m at the Hollywood Community Center from 2-4!

10/28/2023

Since I’m going to be at another balloon gig, I won’t be able to be at the Sycamore View Trunk or Treat tonight. But I made sure to lend a hand this morning to set up a balloon arch and some balloon centerpieces to help the families that come tonight have an extra special time (especially since it’s supposed to be raining)! Shout out to my lovely bride for helping!

10/27/2023

My brother-in-law challenged me to make the DeLorean from Back to the Future for a Halloween event he will be working this evening. He and his business partner will be dressing as Doc and Marty.

10/25/2023

Tigerfest at Arlington Elementary today! I’ve actually lost count of how many times I’ve joined the festivities here, but the weather was great and I’m pretty sure the kiddos had a blast! Shout out to the AES PTA for inviting me again!
