I am a balloon artist. A creator of balloonscapes. I've been perfecting my craft and style for the past year. This is a passion of mine and I love the joy it brings to my community. I strive to find the best quality balloons from trusted suppliers. I'm very passionate about this topic as so many people are using poor quality supplies. If you are charging people for your work the quality does matter. My balloon recommendations don't pop, deflate, smell, or hurt your fingers. They inflate and tie very easily. The colors are also true and consistent. Remove the stress from your balloon decor by finding the right brands.

Supporting small businesses has an overflowing impact on not only the businesses, but the local communities they reside in. Here's some of my favorite small businesses with unique offerings!

Since the beginning of my career, I have been drawn to the role of Script Supervisor, or better known as the person who keeps track of Continuity on a film set. It is the only one person department (though that's changing as the number of cameras keep climbing) and it is a an awesome craft to learn, though it takes a certain type of person. Script Supervisors must be meticulous, focused, good communicators, and probably need to love a good spreadsheet. I had the pleasure of taking a 6 month long workshop about Script Supervising where I learned so much, and left the workshop feeling fully prepared to Script. While I haven't done more than a couple of small gigs, I feel I have invaluable advice and resources to share with those who are interested in the craft. The Film Industry needs more Script Supervisors, and a good Script Supervisor thinks like an Editor, therefore must understand filmmaking in totality. These are the tools I've used and continue to use as I am forever learning.

It may be late August, but its still Summer. And if theres one things I love, its a slasher summer. From the classic movies, to the new summerween vibes- I'm here for all of it. So why not make a Benable list about it?!?!

Small businesses, creators and artists that absolutely tickle my neurodivergent brain. Most of these are Maine based, connected to Maine, or produce Maine themed art.
