How to create mini clusters with 11" balloons
✨ Celebrating One Year at 📍25 North Prince Street! ✨
We can hardly believe it—our first storefront is turning ONE! 🥳 The excitement and joy we feel are beyond words.
A quick reintroduction for those who don’t know us well yet:
Kelly, born in NY with deep Italian roots, moved to Lancaster County at a young age, while I, Sasha, was born and raised right here in Lancaster County/City. We both grew up embracing the unique charm of and , and now, we’re thrilled to be part of its vibrant business community.
Kelly brings over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry, offering a wealth of knowledge and expertise. I, Sasha, have spent many years volunteering, working with youth in education and sports, and serving the PA older adult population in state government.
We’re raising our families here, and now, as business owners, we’ve joined the community that we once enjoyed solely as consumers. It’s incredible to think that what started as a mere thought in 2018 has blossomed into this beautiful, thriving business.
Our dream was to build a different life—to show our families that hard work pays off and that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. Coming from single-parent, low-income households, our journey has been filled with challenges. But those obstacles only fueled our determination to succeed and to create a brighter future for our children and our community.
We’ve already overcome the hardest part, and now, with your support, we’re not just growing our business—we’re changing lives and shaping the future.
To everyone who has supported us along the way: Thank you. Your belief in our vision means the world to us. Here’s to our future plans…🥂
We can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with you! 🥂🎉✨

Backseat driving with my boo.
After a wonderful one on one class in the Bronx, I thought it would be cool to take Lucy to one of my favorite places as a kid. It's so nice to just be with her today 💗
Doesnt look like much right now, but I can't wait to get this set up done!! It's gonna be soooo cute.

A month passed and the balloons remained inflated and luminous, showcasing exceptional quality and technique that ensures longevity.✨
Nothing like a quiet morning outside to appreciate life ☕
I am not cheap.
I know sometimes when we use that word we think dollars. But the reality is "Cheap" speaks to Quality not Dollars. And I am not Cheap. I have only been doing this business for 2.5 years and I know that I still have a lot to learn, hence my pricing scale. So although I may not be charging anything near the competitors, I know without a shadow of a doubt. I am not cheap.
My quality is top of the line.
My skill level is above average, to the point where I have created my own garland method.
My products are heavy duty and name brand.
And my clients always get a digital mock up for approval.
I am currently affordable, and if im being honest. I always want to be affordable. I know what we do is a Luxury, but I said this before. I did this because I was the broke mom. And broke moms deserve nice things too.
I am not a charity, I dont do things for free, and even if i did thats between me and God. But I gotta say this because I believe if I dont clarify this, it can cause bitterness and I dont want to be bitter.
I am not cheap, I am affordable based on my years of experience. I am also self taught and have no certifications. When I have more years under my belt, I will feel more comfortable to charge accordingly. But for now, can we please mind our words. I know its not always coming from a bad place, but when you hear it on a constant base, it can become discouraging.
QUESTION....
Who here has been waiting for us to get the ALL white Bounce House?
🎉🎉When your client sends you a copy of her venues, preferred vendor list and your on there along side another amazing local balloon expert 😭😭😍😍

$200 for a tote..
But not just any tote, a Marc Jacobs tote.
A small tote at that.
And people are lining up for it, all so MJ can spend $1000 of his nails every 2 weeks.
And people eat this up.
They will spend $200 on something that costs $10 to make, just so someone they don't know can afford the lavish lifestyle they want.
But when you charge $200 for something that costs $50, so that you can put food on the table.
People call you EXPENSIVE.
So let me break it down for you hunny.
You're not expensive, your client hasn't found you yet. Don't let people's misplaced priorities put you in a dark place or have you questionIng your worth and value.
Congratulations to for 50 years of serving the community in Denver, Pa.
Such an honor to be part of such an amazing accomplishment 💖
Now to explore breakfast 🥞 at pancake Farm in Ephrata. Im 😊 excited!!
This is what I love about what I do. The opportunity to explore PA ❤️❤️
Fill me up :)
September is still wide open. October and December are already starting to fill up fast, but poor September is feeling alittle left out.
I will be offering a 10% discount to anyone booking between August 19th and August 23rd for the month of September (Booking requires Paid Deposit and signed Contact)
So get your ideas together and call me MONDAY to save an extra 10% off your event service.

Day 14 Self care is more than good skin, nice clothes, pretty hair and nails did. It's renewing the mind, body and Spirit. Romans 12:2 NIV [2] Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. #selflove #selfcare
Double wrap your aluminum stands!! Especially if you're doing an outdoor installation. As you can see here there is no transparency, and it looks really good. A lot of us are using aluminum stands or metal stands from Amazon and we are only using one cover. And that's what makes it so cheap. Looking, make sure that you double sleeve your metal or aluminum stands. It makes a world of difference. #braidingmethod #balloonartnetworking #balloonthemeparty #winniethepoohbabyshower #balloonartist
Shout-out to @cheg_teambeastmodeinc for pushing me and teaching me how to get strong. Got this girl hoping for my future 🙌🙌 @team_beastmode_lanc
When you're an artist, you're given a canvas. Doesn't matter what you're painting. You still get the same white canvas every single time. And yet we are expected to produce something different every single time. Same goes for event planning. A lot of the times we use the same venue over and over again, it's our responsibility to make sure that our customer gets a unique experience every time. So if you catch yourself doing the same thing over and over again, consider changing something as simple as rectangle tables to round tables. White chairs to black chairs, And play around with the space. Be surprised how much. Just a few little details. Can make something look so different.
Sometimes you have less than an hour to do a set up. So knowing how to pack, what to pack and how to manage time is so important. Take my 1:1 class Learn some tips and tricks that will blow your mind. Msg me for info
Working on myself By myself For myself... . . . . Ok maybe not by myself 😂 my boy Chegg is amazing and has been walking this thing out with me. An amazing mentor and coach. I hate him every other day which tells me hes doing a great job. Risy 4.0 is gonna be sickkkkk
I aint even gonna lie. Keep the tip, send me home with a take home box, some cake and a banging review and I'm your girl for life. Clients have no idea how much a google, Facebook or Instagram shout out can do for someones business. Dont just tell me i did a good job, let your family and friends know ❤️❤️❤️ Shout out to the realest clients in 717. So glad yall chose me to be part of your memories.
Im still scratching my head 😂 How did a set up that only took me an hour from start to finish become my most Liked and shared set up in 2 years?? Im not complaining, but that just goes to show you. People could give 2 cents about all the back drop, cutouts, extra extra read all about it, if it ain't done right. Classy and clean wins all the time. If you're interested in this look you can actually book it. Its actually part of my BASIC FOCAL POINT package. This look starts at $350( includes balloons)and goes up pending the size of the backdrop, SWAG preference, and curtain material. Thanks for all the love. Visit my website for more details.
We want to thank everyone who participated in our 5K Giveaway! We do have a winner! and even though we were not going to announce it until tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing, commenting, posting, tagging and just being an amazing support this past year! We can chat this week on date and times for your event. Thank you

So if you know me, you know i have an obsession with pineapples. Its not even the taste, its the look, its the smell, and the feel. I just think that out of all the fruit God made, pineapples speak the most to me. And this is why...
In order for pineapples to produce more fruit, the crown has to be cut off and replanted. And that really ministers to me. When we remove our crown and leave it at the feet of Jesus we make way for reproduction. When we lay down the one thing that made us feel important, that gave us security, that made us feel like our farts dont stink lol. When we lay it down, and place it in good soil, God can work with that. And the best part, you might just get one pineapple back, you might get 10, but whatever it is, it will be sweet! and it will taste good!
Be encouraged to lay down your crown in order to produce good fruit ;)
#Blessings
