Just plain 'ol praise!

Wow. I just peeked at my inbox while in the middle of editing a mermaid photo and talking to parents on the phone...and received the cutest email from a parent! I have to say, this is one of my favorites yet...it is about Miss Melody, one of our Sacramento performers.

""I was at my nieces 1st birthday party this past Saturday for Sara. I want to tell you how delightful I thought Miss Melody was. The kids were captivated and she was very engaging.It was impressive to see her make these balloon characters too!

Again, thank you, it was a unique party experience, because for the most part as an adult, little kids parties are dreaded and not looked forward to. Thank you for being refreshing. I really enjoyed it."

I love what I do. Even if I look a little crazy.

I love it so much. I can say it is because of the glitter and costumes and children...of course. But my favorite part? Working with the amazing women that are a part of our Faerie family. They bend over backwards for each other in a pinch, and get each other excited about the silliest things (new purple face paint?! Oh my goodness!). When I get a chance to lean over and help them as much as they help me, it makes me the happiest faerie on the planet.

My favorite moment of the day? I *just* flew in from Los Angeles last night from a Balloon Twisting training, and was about to jump in the car to drive back down there to save the day. One of our Faeries is sick and I was going to take over all of her performances, so there won't be any sad faces at any celebrations this weekend. However, Miss Blossom and Miss Lina jumped in to save the day, and will Miss Blossom will by flying to LA in a matter of hours, and Lina gave up some of her plans for her own birthday on Sunday, to cover one of Blossom's shows. Because they like adventure. And love their job. As much as I do.

(here are some super cute photos of my performances a month or so ago up here in the Bay Area, just for fun. Because I had them. And they are pretty *laugh*.)

Praise for Miss Meadow

I found this in my inbox this morning!

"I never wrote to thank you for our Fairy visit on August 1.

Our daughter loved her birthday party with Miss Meadow. Miss Meadow arrived and all of the stress of the party was removed from me as she took the attention of kids & adults alike. Her ability to capture and captivate 9 children and their parents at the same time was amazing! Her talents dazzled the crowd and her kindness was felt by everyone. I have attended many parties with princesses and fairies, but have never experienced the level of excitement and awe that Miss Meadow brought to our event.

Thank you so much for making a very fairy princesses day so special J

Here are some pics – if you would like any copies, let me know and I can send the originals."

Nervous about Clowns?

We are too. No really. Super nervous. Even though I have been in this birthday party world for a super duper long time, it still makes me feel funny when I see a clown at a Parade or something of the like. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE clowning, and in fact, one of our Performers (Miss Chestnut) attends Clown College full time in San Francisco. I realized, it is just the 'image' of a clown that gives me the willies. So, meet our Circus Girl!

She is a perfect addition to a celebration that involves little ladies and gentlemen, because she adds that extra sparkle, but without the 'pink' that most of our other Characters have *laugh*. Here are Miss Willow and Miss Flicker, our Los Angeles Faeries, modeling some of our ever changing Circus Girl costumes.
