Although the weather looked iffy we had a great day celebrating three birthdays today. There was face painting, balloons, magic some juggling and lots of smiles. Happy birthday to Vincent, Gracie and Favol.

Mass Appeal    was nice enough to have me back show them how to make No Sew Bean Bags.

All you need is some old round balloons, a few fold top sandwich bags and some cat litter, beans, or bird seed. Easy to make and fun to play with. Have a ball!

Shuffles spent the afternoon doing magic and making balloons at Luna’s first birthday party. Everyone had a grea time. Enjoy the pictures and consider a clown or character for your next event.

Shuffles spent this evening at the MSPCC community event in Holyoke. This event was open to the public for families to see what area services and activities are locally. Shuffles had a terrific time balloon sculpturing and goofing with the children. Fran from Clown- a- Rama was there to face paint. The families and staff were great and the staff did a wonderful job planning. Check out these great photos.

Shuffles was lucky enough to be at Jaylain’s second birthday party this weekend in Holyoke. Shuffles did a magic show and face painted. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a great time.

One of our great face painters spent the afternoon at Jazmine’s 8th birthday party all the kid had a terrific time.

I’m so lucky & fortunate! Clowntique was chosen by three students at the UMass Isenberg School of Management’s E-Business Class and our new website was the product of their final project. The site will be launched this weekend so be sure to check out the before and then the after. Special thanks to Kaimei and her students Matt, Ali and Francisco.
