30th balloon party

Jun
I have mixed feelings about balloon releases, but I am totally sold on the idea of this 30th birthday party from an open sketchbook. An excerpt from Suzanne, “This week I turned 30. My life has been filled with countless blessings. So, in celebration, I wanted to follow the lead of my pen pal from years ago, spreading happiness and connecting with others with the help of a little helium. Last night a group of good friends joined me in releasing 30 balloons out into the world. On each card was a hand-written message from one of my guests to the balloon’s finder.” Beautiful! (And how awesome is that top photo?!)
Thank you for sharing this Sara! The party was very special for me, though I’ve certainly received mixed-reactions about the balloon release in the time since. I am, however, taking note, and appreciate learning from what others have to say. If anyone else chooses to do this, there are several sites online with tips on how to do in the safest: including choice of balloon and what, if any, string to use.
The goal here was to share wishes among friends and with strangers. I’m excited to already have connected with several who have discovered the hand-written notes and look forward to more.
