The Journey: How it started. How it’s going.

Hey Y’all! Jo here. I wanted to give you a little sneak peek into how and why we decided to get into the balloon business. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how it happened either.  Between hard work, long nights, lots of swearing, and endless laughs we’ve managed to build something authentically expressive of us. 

We have the discussion all the time of when we “started” our business. When I think about it now, we’ve always wanted to have something that’s ours. Something tangible that inspires joy in people. I spent the majority of my time throughout childhood in theatre, so I always had that creative bug. 

Many would say I get that from my mom and I’m inclined to agree. If I wasn’t in a show we were making scrapbooks, taking art classes, attempting to sew, or heading to flea markets to find hundreds of glass jars for a “mysterious project.” 

When I was having trouble finding a creative outlet in 2020 my mom suggested making a balloon garland for my birthday together, and it brought so much joy to what otherwise would be a dull endeavor.  We started making them for any occasion, for friends, family, and friends of friends.  Everything snowballed from there.  

When I say “snowballed” I mean it grew at a pace we were not expecting.  Soon the jobs got bigger, and the schedule got tighter.  We both work full-time day jobs, so the thing we always go back to is - We have the chance to do something that brings joy to people, that isn’t for “likes” or “showmanship”.  We do it because people deserve the chance to celebrate moments, to make memories, and to spend time with people they care about.

That is why we started, and why we continue to do it. 

That’s all for now,

Jo :)
