Guess We Are Not Full of Hot Air Yikes...no more Helium Balloons :(

Well so much for us being full of hot air... or in this case Helium....

You see He is believe it or not the #2 most abundant element found in the universe....   but yikes Im feeling deflated (yup this blog as all the bad puns).

The reasons for (YOU HAVE NOT HEARD) the shortage are actually complex twined with the global energy business but the effects to you and me are simple:

If you can get the He then expect to pay a lot more then what you paid last year and be glad you can find some....A tank last year was around $100 and today about $275

FYI, The US produces more than 3/4 of the worlds supply...  and a third of the worlds supply comes from the Federal Reserve in good old Texas  a place called the Bush dome... but we are using it up pretty fast...so fast that it might be gone in 5 years.

So now is the time to start looking for alternates!!!

Here is one idea that we are starting to use at Real Living   Flag Banners

Real Living Open House Feather Flags come complete with stands for inserting into the ground and stand 9 feet tall. Open House Feather Flags are perfect for welcoming clients to your Open House events.The nylon flag is double stitched. The stand allows the flag to rotate freely so it's visible from all directions even in windy conditions.

I would love to hear your thoughts on other ideas... one of my friends is using this at his events!

Lets not drop the ball...er balloon....   what do you think?    Sharing is Caring... feel free to tweet, post, repost, and have some fun!
