Today I Love: Balloons and Memories
Posted: February 22nd, 2010 | Author: Sarah | Filed under: Today I love... | Tags: art, balloons, costumes, Halloween, nostalgia, photography | 4 Comments »Many photographers and would-be photographers have done the balloon thing — balloons in a field, balloons in front of your face, balloons in a row, yadda yadda. But I find this one particularly joyous. Perhaps because it reminds me of one of my favorite Halloween costumes. I think I was 10 or so went I went as a bunch of purple grapes. It was my Mom’s idea, and come to think of it… it wasn’t my favorite at the time. It made a clumsy little girl even more awkward and somewhat dangerous for anyone nearby with a heart problem who was easily startled by loud noises. Let’s just say, I made it home looking like a week-old, half-eaten bunch of grapes.

cool. I like the white balloons in the mix. I learned how to make a balloon arch the other week, get some rope, fill up a bunch of balloons, tie the balloons to the rope, and tie down the ends of the rope and boom shocka-locka.
this. is. amazing. i am beyond excited about trying this. now how do i go about getting some helium…?
also, if the winners of our free-lotto-like giveaways weren’t determined using a random number generator, i would pick the person who leaves the best comments, and you would definitely be in the running. just sayin’.
Ha! I love this pic. It asks so many questions… like “Why is she in the middle of the street? How does she not pop all of them? How can she move?” And “Will she make me one too?”
Ha! So true!
