HELLLOOOOO!
<br />
<br />
So we're posting a new video. We created a new hat--a birdcage with a parrot in it! <br />
<br />
So here we are making it.<br />

This time it was at a carnival party. </div><div><br> </div><div>People have been asking if we are going to do a more advanced book. Sometimes we think about it, but we think the easy stuff is just as much fun. Once you know the basic twists from our book, you can actually get the grown-up books and learn a lot more. </div><div><br> </div><div>We found that when you <em>first</em> start twisting, those books are too hard to understand. That's why we made ours! But once you've got the basics, you can move on to the harder books much easier.</div>Emily and Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00872550079909989860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926706727427069720.post-34197471060916551832011-08-15T07:06:00.002-07:002012-04-03T07:27:15.361-07:00Ice Cream Festival!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cRFVJyaI5lk/T3sGCTWwcUI/AAAAAAAAAFE/O_ilCyiGU9M/s1600/girls-ice-cream-festival.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px; height: 300px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727177987756945730" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cRFVJyaI5lk/T3sGCTWwcUI/AAAAAAAAAFE/O_ilCyiGU9M/s400/girls-ice-cream-festival.jpg" /></a><br />Emily and Elizabeth twisted balloons for hundreds of kids at Austin's Ice Cream Festival.<br /><br />It was over 100 degrees outside. Thank goodness for free ice cream everywhere! And a giant popsicle!<br /><br />If you live in Austin, you should go next year! They had some REALLY WEIRD ice cream--even some made with goat's milk.

Maybe next time!)Emily and Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00872550079909989860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926706727427069720.post-3861044088849054142010-06-19T13:04:00.000-07:002010-06-22T08:20:17.720-07:00Back at magic camp!We're back! Emily got much better at juggling and riding the unicycle. Elizabeth found new tricks that she loved!<br /><br />At the final show, Emily was called on stage to help with the ring trick. Hope you are all having a great summer! The book hit the top 100 of Kids Crafts on Amazon AGAIN in June. We hope that means you are all making tons of awesome balloon animals!<br /><br /><object width="430" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yge4_HkOQho&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yge4_HkOQho&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="430" height="300"></embed></object>Emily and Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00872550079909989860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926706727427069720.post-31573794355132131752009-12-22T12:59:00.001-08:002009-12-22T13:05:33.251-08:00Have a Merry Christmas!<p align="left"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SzEzij8fXlI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Lse7KQFrVH4/s1600-h/web-emily-rudolph-balloons.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 406px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 228px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418168495560941138" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SzEzij8fXlI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Lse7KQFrVH4/s400/web-emily-rudolph-balloons.jpg" /></a></p><br />Emily with her Rudolph and reindeer balloons at a book signing.

Or hadn't posted one, anyway.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>So we set out to do one.</div><div></div><br /><div>First Elizabeth tried it the usual way.</div><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SrfrsiOnfsI/AAAAAAAAADA/iy4VYQuHbx0/s1600-h/web-making-capybara2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 142px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 210px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384031029879602882" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SrfrsiOnfsI/AAAAAAAAADA/iy4VYQuHbx0/s320/web-making-capybara2.jpg" /></a>But the balloons were too skinny, and capybaras are not skinny AT ALL.</div><div></div><br /><div>Then Emily tried a couple of things, using two balloons, one to make a round body and another one for the head, legs and tails.</div><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SrfsIEzS-oI/AAAAAAAAADQ/aUCmKBQOdG0/s1600-h/capybara-balloon-web.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 143px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 135px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384031503016721026" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SrfsIEzS-oI/AAAAAAAAADQ/aUCmKBQOdG0/s320/capybara-balloon-web.jpg" /></a>We popped a few balloons.</div><div></div><br /><div>Finally, we settled on a modified "bicycle helmet" twist for the body, and added a nose, ears and tail. We figure advanced balloon makers who have lots of different types of balloons could do something fancier, but this suits us just fine! And Caplin put it on his <a href="http://gianthamster.com/2009/09/my-friends-elizabeth-emily-balloon-makers/">blog</a>!</div></div></div>Emily and Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00872550079909989860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926706727427069720.post-1685846967501396142009-09-16T06:37:00.000-07:002009-09-16T07:00:22.000-07:00Capybara fever!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SrDsLDWvZFI/AAAAAAAAAC4/eqce1TqLsbk/s1600-h/capy-encounter-buda-02.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 229px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382061229331145810" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SrDsLDWvZFI/AAAAAAAAAC4/eqce1TqLsbk/s320/capy-encounter-buda-02.JPG" /></a> <div>We CAN'T BELIEVE we forgot to blog about Caplin Rous!<br /><br />Caplin is a capybara, which is a really big animal that looks like a guinea pig but weighs a hundred pounds. They come from South America.<br /><br />Melanie Typaldos got one for a pet when Caplin was a baby. Then she wrote a book about cats and capybaras called "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1439234027/theromancereview">Celeste and the Giant Hamster</a>."<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SrDrnlQQ6oI/AAAAAAAAACw/OXFrjV5TNTE/s1600-h/capy-encounter-buda-09.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 157px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382060619955497602" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SrDrnlQQ6oI/AAAAAAAAACw/OXFrjV5TNTE/s320/capy-encounter-buda-09.JPG" /></a>We went to the Buda library to see Caplin at a book reading. He did great! He even jumped up on Melanie, like he missed her even though she was right there!<br /><br />We had met Caplin before, at a party for when he was on Animal Planet. Emily got to feed him blueberries. Elizabeth wanted the book so we ordered it on Amazon. Maybe we can get Caplin to sign it! Visit Caplin at <a href="http://gianthamster.com/">his site</a>!</div>Emily and Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00872550079909989860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926706727427069720.post-23245707964081090212009-09-10T10:01:00.000-07:002009-09-10T10:03:47.362-07:00Book Trailer!Elizabeth decided she would be the one to do the book trailer and show everyone how to make a balloon animal bee!<br /><br />She messed up a LOT.

Mom had a really old book of his from 1992 called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/067084487X/theromancereview">The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales</a>.<br /><br /><div></div><div>He told us about how he sent his first book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140544518/theromancereview">The True Story of the Three Little Pigs</a>, to lots of publishers and no one wanted it. Then the illustrator made some pictures and then the publishers told him not to ever send him anything again!</div><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SpVenbSjkPI/AAAAAAAAACo/-bbxed3Rxr4/s1600-h/web-JonScieszka.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 199px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 215px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374305761770049778" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SpVenbSjkPI/AAAAAAAAACo/-bbxed3Rxr4/s320/web-JonScieszka.jpg" /></a>But he did find a publisher and later, Stinky Cheese Man won an award!

She just wants to marry for love and to experience life outside the palace. A strong independent woman, she is ready for some adventure and is quite capable of taking matters into her own hands by rejecting unsuitable suitors and sneaking off into the marketplace alone. When she meets Prince Ali, she begins to get a taste of how the other half lives and finds the freedom she has longed for.Emily and Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00872550079909989860noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926706727427069720.post-19611065498114748352009-08-19T11:28:00.002-07:002012-04-03T08:13:28.470-07:00We LOVE Mitchel Musso!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SoxEvDO4C9I/AAAAAAAAACA/35VuC6DKC8E/s1600-h/web-mitchelmussoconcert.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 198px; height: 218px; float: left;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371744030658399186" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SoxEvDO4C9I/AAAAAAAAACA/35VuC6DKC8E/s320/web-mitchelmussoconcert.jpg" /></a>We got to see Mitchel Musso (Oliver on Hannah Montana) in a concert at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. A couple other people sang first, and it started pouring down rain, but we stayed!<br /><br />He was great! We love "Hey" and "In Crowd." We heard them practicing "In Crowd" when we were waiting to go on rides, so we knew he was going to sing it.<br /><br />It was awesome! Our first live concert!Emily and Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00872550079909989860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926706727427069720.post-49358807637354073472009-08-10T10:29:00.000-07:002009-12-03T14:56:36.747-08:00Behind the Scenes<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SoBaAuS2x9I/AAAAAAAAAAw/wx2gQb_fI38/s1600-h/web-light-check-elizabeth.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 171px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368389724299249618" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SoBaAuS2x9I/AAAAAAAAAAw/wx2gQb_fI38/s320/web-light-check-elizabeth.jpg" /></a>We finished all the photo shoots today! Hooray! This was a pretty easy day because Emily only had one balloon left to make and then we had to take pictures for the last page.<br /><br />We made lots of silly balloons. A lot of them were terrible! And we popped more balloons today than any other day.<br /><br />Elizabeth tried to make a snake but got tired of drawing on it halfway.<br /><br />Emily ended up reshooting one hat because we found one we liked better than the one that was already going in the book.<br /><br />Elizabeth had to reshoot her video of the bee, although she didn't want to because she lost a front tooth!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SoBaZSb4ZgI/AAAAAAAAABA/2J6zO8cDRDA/s1600-h/web-making-balloons-emily.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 232px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368390146317641218" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FwOPBhzgGyk/SoBaZSb4ZgI/AAAAAAAAABA/2J6zO8cDRDA/s320/web-making-balloons-emily.jpg" /></a>Here are a couple pictures as we got set up. On top, Elizabeth waits for the photographer to check the lighting.<br /><br />On bottom, Emily practices making some new balloon designs so we have stuff in our book that isn't anywhere else!<br /><br />It's lunch time!
