Review

"This book is a very comprehensive learning tool for getting started in the profitable balloon industry. Ruth's expertise allows the beginner to produce professional results." She shares her knowledge, techniques, creativity and business acumen to give readers a strong foundation for starting and running their own successful business. -- Michael Wing, Vice President of Marketing, Conwin Carbonic Company

I marvel at how I learned so quickly from reading this book. I have helped my thirteen year old son start his own business - his goal- a car for the future! We both thank you. -- Toni Mutz

Putting my creativity to work as a business opened a whole new world for me. This book gave me the self confidence I needed to launch my own business. -- Tammy Taylor

This book is so easy to read and follow, it allowed me to become a creative person overnight. It was well worth my investment as it started me on the road to my own business. -- Josie Howard

From the Author

This book will help beginner "balloonologists" avoid all the mistakes I made when I first started my balloon business. With only a bag of balloons, a helium tank and a lot of determination I started a home -based balloon enterprise that flourished into a highly successful balloon decorating business including decorating for the Rose Bowl. After I discovered that a small investment and high profits are the winning combination to balloon decorating I wanted to share this with other folks who want to work out of their home. You will find the book easy to read and many pictures explaining the steps to creating beautiful balloon sculptures. Balloons are festive for all ages. Good luck and have fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, January 11, 2000
This review is from: The Art, Craft and Business of Balloon Decorating (Paperback)
I actually found this book to be quite helpful. I've beentrying to find a good guide to help me decorate for parties andweddings on the side, but haven't had any luck in bookstores. They'realways too expensive, or have too many pictures without explanations, or too much explanation without any pictures. This one is perfectly balanced and to the point.

4.0 out of 5 stars A First Rate Manual, January 9, 2000
This review is from: The Art, Craft and Business of Balloon Decorating (Paperback)
This very informative book will take all the hassle and worry out of starting your own business. The author gives excellent detail about office equipment and set up and displays a sense of humor in describing her own philosophy of starting and pursuing her venture into the art of balloon decorating. The easy to follow instructions and many photographs make this step- by-step book a 'must have' for starting your own balloon business.

I through several parties, and this book has made me the hit of my town. I found the balance between pictures and step by step instruction to be perfect. I was able to easily follow the given ideas, as well as generate many more of my own.

I hope she expands into other areas.
