There will be a Balloon Ascent at the tea party this week. We'll fly above the clouds and try to boost Sean's spirits and let him know - the sky's the limit. Think happy thoughts.
My balloons were made with the largest petal from the new SU Petal Punch. I trimmed the bottom and the very top scallop to get the balloon shape.

Smiley balloons!!! How wonderfully fun and cheerful - and clever, too. I've certainly not seen that use for the flower punch yet. I'm intrigued by the wording on the paper - will positively take place. I always thought that balloon ascents were slightly subject to the weather and couldn't be cast-iron guaranteed.
