I grabbed my camera and snapped a few pictures through the dirty windshield.
It was so pretty!
Because I got a good night's sleep last night...
and because I had a relaxing morning today...
and because my kids are all behaving...
and because I'm wearing fuzzy Mickey Mouse lounge pants...
and because the sun is shining...
and because I just like you...
Let's give away a $25 gift certificate to The Rusted Chain!

When my Mother-in-law turned 60, my husband and I surprised her with a ride in a hot-air balloon, so I have! It was very neat.
No, but we watch them at the Balloon Races every year!

Have never been but it is on my "Bucket List"
I never have.. Especially after one crashed into my neighbors roof several years ago as it was too windy.. NO THANKS! :)
Putting on FB..
I honestly don't think I could ever go in one my dear of heights causes my knees to shake just thinking about other people up in them
No I have not, but would love to someday! We love going to the balloon festivals and watching them launch.
No, but I want to. There is a family that gives rides right here in our community even. Need to get on that.
Nope but I bet it's fun. I'd definitely like to go to the festival out in Albuquerque some time.
Yep! I have. They do a festival in my hometown every Memorial Day and I was lucky enough to know someone participating one year.
Never have but really want to!! I want to go over Napa Valley, CA!!
Yes!! Some people were giving people rides in a field across from my sister's place. We grabbed our cameras and rushed over. It was awesome!!

I just tweeted for you! (& me ;-) )
Nope I have not! I wanted to when i was younger Now I really would rather not. I guess I must have lost my edge.
I have never done it! I am terrified of heights, but oddly would love to force myself to try it! I bet the view is fabulous!!
Posted on FB too! :)
Nope, I never have...I'm not sure if I'd be terrified (not a fan of heights) or excited about it. :)

No but would like to "someday".
I have not. And I have NO desire to do so!! I do not like being more than five feet off the ground! :)
No, but they fly over us all the time (day trips from Napa)...someday I hope to!

I have NOT been up in a hot air balloon. I'd love to, though! We DID have a balloon-chasing experience this summer though. I got some great pictures too. It was exhilarating!
I just posted a link on Facebook!
No and I probably never will, but I love seeing them floating in the sky. They are quite beautiful.

I have never been in a hot air balloon. I wish. It's just very expensive.
Went in one in Colorado 25 years ago. It was breathtaking!
I have not, but I would LOVE to! Looks so fun!

It is on. My bucket list.
Nope. And I've never won on here either.
Wonder which will happen first .....;)
No, but I think it would be a ton of fun!!!
Thanks for this opportunity.
Blessings
Nope, but that sure would be a cool experience!
I have not....and if I ever did I would probably be terrified. Looks like a cool experience though!
I HAVE been in a hot air balloon!! When I was little we went to our friends house and they had rented one for some big occasion (I forget what) and they let all the kids have a turn in the balloon... Although I don't think we ever actually gOt off the ground...
I have not, i would love to but dont think i'd even have the guts to do it!
Pretty shots :)

Not yet... maybe one day! We did used to have a hot air balloon festival in my town when I was a child. I loved driving to church and seeing hundreds of them rising into the morning sky! It was so colorful!

Nope, never been in one :(
It's on my bucket list though!
Yes! It was fantastic. Can't wait to do it again.
Nope, I am deathly afraid of heights. So thats not on my list of things to do.
How cool. I haven't been in one, but my youngest sister has. She was in elementary school, they floated right over our neighborhood! I think at this point in my life I'd have rubber knees the whole time...something about the basket being small and "wiggly", ha!
no..but it is definitely on my bucket list:)
No, I haven't. I kind of do and don't want to try it since I am kind of afraid of heights.
No, they do create such a fantasy image that I think I might like to, but I hear they are very noisy...leading me to believe they are best enjoyed from the ground, or from your lovely photos.

No, and I don't think my stomach would handle it. I do love to watch from solid ground!
No, not yet...I kinda' like the ground...but I would like to go to a hot air balloon festival sometime.
Wow, I always love the sight of these! Have never been on one, and I just saw a landing on tv and I decided not to ever do it either. But I'll always enjoy seeing them:)
Have only been on one in my dreams. Always wanted to go to the big festival in Albuquerque, too.

I have never been in a hot air balloon! I am terrified of heights, so I don't think I'll ever ride in one. I do love their fun, bright colors though!

Nope!
Yes, but only on the ground when I was a kid, never went up in one!

They really are amazing to see up close aren't they?! I live in albuquerque, NM hot air balloon capital of the world. =0) We just had the balloon fiesta here a couple of weeks ago where literally hundreds of balloons launch every morning. I haven't been in one, but I never get tired of watching them. I would love to win!
I have never been in a balloon...and not quite sure if i could or not??? My husband definitely not, but they look so romantic don't they :)
You couldn't pay me enough to go in a hot air balloon but I sure would love to win a gift certificate to The Rusted Chain!!!!
Oh yes! And it is one of THE best rides one can have. We took our ride in Arizona and loves every minute of it. we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Yes I have! It is something I thought that I would never have the nerve to do, but had the opportunity about 6 years ago and decided...you only live once...might as well have some fun with it! It was AWESOME!! I'd love to go up in the Hot Air Balloon Festival in New Mexico. Nice shots btw!!
Beki, it makes my palms sweat to think of it! Even in tall buildings I stay away from teh windows. Great giveaway, though. (:
amazing pictures through the windshield! never been in one and probably never will.. don't think i would have the guts to do it. thanks for the giveaway
some day I hope to do so.
I haven't, but I saw one on the way to work on Friday! My husband and I do want to go up in one someday though.
Never...but I think I would like to...
Never, but I'd love to sometime! We have a balloon festival near us that we love to go see each year.
No, never...I'm too afraid of heights...lol :)
No...never...don't want to either!

Nope never been and can't say I ever really want too...I'd rather shop for jewelry from you!! :0)
Ohh this is too perfect! First, I must say I just came across your jewelry today after stumbling across theidearoom.net's blog and I immediately went to your page. I bought a necklace just like your hand-stamped necklaces that had 2-stamped charms; one said Peace and the other said Love. Then it had too little adornment accessories and I just loved it! So I was Heartbroken after it broke after 2 days! =( So, when I seen how your necklaces resembled that one, I was stoked! Then, I seen your recent post to win a gift-certificate. I say this is too perfect, Becaaause.. I just had my first experience in a hot air balloon LAST NIGHT! =D It was an attraction at a park with a haunted house and haunted woods. All they do is let you float up and stay in one place though, but it was still very cool to experience. It was dark so it made it a bit scarier! I don't know if I could handle just aimlessly floating through the air in one, scary! lol But anyways, that's my experience. Love your jewelery, so glad I found it!

NO BUT I'VE HAD A COUPLE LAND IN MY BACK YARD A FEW YEARS AGO.THE BACK WAS OPEN PASTURE LAND AND I FOUND IT VERY EXCITING TO SEE THE THING COME DOWN. WE WERE LIVING IN A SENIORS' DOUBLEWIDE MOBILE HOME PARK AT THE TIME. WE GOT INTO THE CAR BECAUSE THE WORD WAS OUT THAT MORE WERE HANDING NEAR OUR CLUBHOUSE AT THE SAME TIME. IT WAS VERY EXCITING. ALSO MY BROTHER AND NEICE WENT UP IN ONE A FEW YEARS AGO ALSO. ALWAY WANTED TO BUT I THINK I'D BE SCARE. NEVER SAY NEVER.THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR PICTURES. VERY ENJOYABLE. GRANNY FROM FLORIDA

No!! I think I am to scared of heights.
I was asked to go once, but declined due to terror-struck at the very thought. We see them here often. :)

Yes, I was lucky enough to go on one when I was probably in college (or maybe high school.) Family friends owned one.

Nope, although I had a chance to. I just didn't think waking up at 4 was worth it :-P
Nope, but I would love to float over the countryside. No city for me though...I just want the country.
never!
I've never rode in a hot air balloon, but I will eventually. I have a fear of heights but think the views and floating might be worth it.
No! But it's on my bucket list!! :)
