I wanted to throw in my $.02 on the balloons as well. I have not been happy with the Betallatex. They seem to pop a lot easier than the Qualatex. Just what Twinkles & I have seen in experimenting with different balloons. And a side note on off brands: Hobby Lobby has some that are reasonable & ok for practicing (don't pop as easy as others but still not as good as Q's) but I wouldn't use them anywhere except to practice. They don't seem to last as long either.

Once you get used to the 260's get some rounds or hearts, ooo or bee bodies & play with those. I've gotten to like the bee bodies. I used a couple of them to make butterflies last weekend at teh carnival & I'm working on getting better at the ice cream cone found here: BalloonHQ Columns - Ralph Dewey It turns out really cute but isn't the easiest thing in the world.
