Sorry y’all! The comment were off but they are up now. Please be sure to comment and let me know what y’all think about the party. You guys wanting to come will way heavily on if I should do it or not! Thanks!! 🖤
Hey I live your videos, I'm new to the business and I need all the advice to get started, I have two events so far I have learned so much from you to step out on my own. I just need advice about pricing scheduling any insights. Thank you in advance love you!!!!
The party is a great idea. Thanks for sharing all your helpful hints and tips. A fantastic tip I was given by a professional and experienced balloon artist friend of mine is to use gimp string instead of fishing line or balloon string. It's super stretchy yet durable, clear and affordable. And it won't cut your hands or pop balloons like fishing line if pulled to tightly.🤗
I'm just binge watching your videos and feel like we're friends now. Lol. You have such a lovely and down to earth spirit. And your baby girl is so cute and adorable. I've learned so much from you and attempted a small garland for my son hotel room in a short period of time this past weekend for his surprise graduation getaway. I'll definitely be practicing more to perfect it. Thanks a bunch Hun!!
My birthday is on the 14th. I am turning 40. 😀 My husband is throwing me a big karaoke/wood-fired pizza party. I picked my party colors and ordered a balloon kit. I an going with rose gold, peach, burgundy & black. I am excited about making a balloon garland. Thank you for making these videos and giving your tips. I hope mine looks as good as yours.
During this quarantine I’ve been obsessed with your videos and you’ve even helped me with starting my own event business. I randomly clicked this video today and discovered that WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY 🤗 I love your channel even more now 💜
What a blessing you are! I absolutely have loved balloons all of my life and my daughter prefers balloons to flowers. The challenge for Sweet 16 was to use all balloons. I never worked with balloon clusters, butvwas determined I wasn't going to let it beat me. My bestie came by to help set up and saw what I had done and she taught me how to fill in etc... I found your video and have been binging on and off for 3 days now. Your gift is contagious and I would love to do a full class with you. Thank you, thank you! #retiredandneedsomethingnewtodo This is going to add to my tutus and tees! I will be watching and joining the birthday celebration!
Hi, question about how many balloons do you need for a balloon Garland that's just going to go across the top and down one side of a backdrop. Thank you for your videos I am loving them
Friday works for me thank you so much for all your info. Pray for me I will be doing my first balloon garland back drop for my granddaughters 21st Birthday celebration.
QUESTION!! My daughters first birthday party is this Saturday November 20th & I wanted to start blowing them up now, because I have Severe CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) & RA so my fingers and wrists are very unpredictable. It is here in my home, so I won’t need to transport this time, but could I start today and have them still look good then?
Yes I would love to attend a balloon garland class/training party on a Saturday or Sunday anytime. I'm located in Decatur Georgia..please give me a update on the location and time. so looking forward to the class. would love to attend. Thanks in advance Letitia Roberts letitiaroberts426@gmail.com
Hey Lakeisha I found another way transportation the get the king size mattress cover bags the works great and come different sizes. Just a tip try it out
I just did my 1st Garland using your method and loved it (I did do a practice run with some cheap materials 1st. I can't wait to keep growing with new trends for balloon garland. Thank you for sharing with us 🤗🤓💕📚📖📝
Thank you for this information..I found your channel and I am loving how you decorate with balloon garlands. I am preparing to get my event decorating business up and rolling and you have been a great help/inspiration with me learning how to do garlands. I am looking forward to the upcoming chats and Saturday or Sunday is fine with me. Thanks for all you do and sharing what you know with us. Have a great day.
Saturday or Sunday morning for me! I'm so excited!😁 Questions: Age? How long were you doing this? Pricing and marketing strategies? Do you have another job? Which state are you in? (Idk why I asked that because I live in the Bahamas lolll)
im trying to start a balloon business and i dont really have proper educ abt balloons, your videos helped me a lot and i wanna thank you for that! hope i make it! stay safe!
Will be watching what ever time you do you live! 😍 made my first ballon garland for my nephews 1st birthday following your tutorials and I was super proud of it even though it wasn't perfect.
Hi Lakeisha, a few things. I normally purchase my balloons from Amazon and my chrome never seem to be real "chrome". Even the clear transparent, twice I got a murky clear. How do I know that I am getting the real deal? Is there a preferred brand or vendor? I've also discovered that the balloon work area must be pretty clean as the balloons seem to attract dust and debris very quickly. How do you deal with that if and when you do work away from home? Thanx and continue to be the great teacher you are!
I only buy the qualatex chrome. I haven’t had an issue with debris to the poin where I couldn’t thump The balloon and it come off. I usually do my balloons at home and take the rest bagged and pre blown So they do that to spend much time on the ground.
TFS!! Great tips!! Did you know that the small side of the pump has the piece that screws into the side that blows the air into the balloon? That way you don’t have to hold your finger over that hole, just screw the blue piece in there. Hopefully that makes sense 😊
What do you do if it’s a party in the afternoon and it’s hot out? How do you keep balloons from bursting/popping? I’m starting off with parties for family and had a terrible day with all my balloons popping before party even started. Also what do you suggest I do for the balloons not to fly away.? I’m a beginner lol
Hi. I have a boxwood greenery wall for my daughter’s bridal shower I purchased a very big champagne balloon that I would like to use……with assorted size clear , white and silver bubbles. balloons. Cascading out of the bottle. I just don’t know how attach it to the greenery wall…. Any suggestions ? Is there a way to send you a picture of the bottle display ?
As always I learn a lot from you. I'm interested in taking party of the birthday balloon vlog. How about doing it on a Saturday afternoon? Thanks for sharing, have a great day!
Thank you for sharing Saturday or Sunday is fine with me also I want to be able to follow along when you do it as I have balloons and a pump at home as well
Hello hello I love watching and may God continue to bless you and all what your doing. Question how long would it take to a few small garlands for a baby shower?
I’m new to balloon designs and I love your videos, love your work, love your energy. I will definitely tune in for more videos. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️
Hey Lakeisha... when you tie the two balloons together after blowing them up, how do you tie them together? In the video it looked like you did it super fast and I’m just not getting it🤣
Happy Birthday Lakeisha!!! I hope you have a great birthday! Thank you so much for sharing all your tips!!! We appreciate it. Question: your hedge wood background, did it come in dimensions 8 feet by 8feet when you bought it or did you have to buy extra panels? Because the one you recently tagged in your previous videos will only make 4 feet by 6 foot hedge backdrop.
Thank you so much for this, very helpful! I know u said the chrome is by qualetex, but May l just ask if if all the other balloons you showed us are also by qualatex?
Your videos are wonderful & I appreciate you for sharing. I'm a Event Designer & I love watching for inspiration. Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us.🎂 Happy Birthday in advance. Let's do that Sunday. I would love to be apart.
#TeamVirgo 8/23 but I think a Sunday afternoon would be great people go to church in the mornings..Saturday is ur bday so I think that should be ur day to enjoy...thanks for the tips and tricks any advise is good advise in my book when it comes to this decorating life...much love
I have a picnic business and want to offer balloon garlands. I’d love to know the best way to attach garlands outdoors (onto teepees/trees etc) and how to stop the base balloons from popping on the grass xx
So I tried this balloon thing for the first time. I used fishing line because I had some clear, but I didn’t select a particular weight. Me and that fishing line were fighting the whole time! After that first connect of balloons, I found my garland became clusters! I couldn’t correct it because I had literally no time. How can I keep that from happening? Thanks so much!
It's hard to explain in words but make sure you put your balloons opposite each other if you are trying for a straight Garland. So you have your first set going left to right, place the next set up and down...and alternate keeping your string right in the middle....hope his helps.
How many balloons would I need for a 10ft Garland please? I’ve gone through all your videos I think and just can’t find how many I’d need and what sizes? Please help 🙏🏼
Hello, thank you for sharing your tips and creating an online live demo. I would prefer Sunday afternoon for the class please and thank you for your time.
Hello , Thanks for sharing your tips . I will like to have a life class with you. Which state and city are you situated. Please, what kind of scutch is good to attach balloons to your garland.? Waiting for a quick reply please. Stay blessed
We are planning my Grandsons 1st Birthday, our Theme is Toy Story. I would Love to make a Balloon Garland (have never made one). Would love it if you could share some ideas?
Wait I’m a little confused, you said you use fishing line when connecting your balloons together but i have watched soooo many of your videos and I see you using 260 balloons, also, I don’t think I’ve seen you use to many balloon dots, if I remember you would tie 2 or 3 very small balloons to a 260 and on the other end of the 260 balloon you would tie another set of small balloons and then use that as your fill in or accent balloon. Love your work Btw!! 😊
Sorry y’all! The comment were off but they are up now. Please be sure to comment and let me know what y’all think about the party. You guys wanting to come will way heavily on if I should do it or not! Thanks!! 🖤

Hi Sheron. A great site to get your balloons online is www.bargainballoons.com They also have a Canadian site for those of us (like me) in Canada
TFS!! Great tips!! Did you know that the small side of the pump has the piece that screws into the side that blows the air into the balloon? That way you don’t have to hold your finger over that hole, just screw the blue piece in there. Hopefully that makes sense 😊

Wait I’m a little confused, you said you use fishing line when connecting your balloons together but i have watched soooo many of your videos and I see you using 260 balloons, also, I don’t think I’ve seen you use to many balloon dots, if I remember you would tie 2 or 3 very small balloons to a 260 and on the other end of the 260 balloon you would tie another set of small balloons and then use that as your fill in or accent balloon. Love your work
Btw!! 😊
