Hi, I'm Leatha Marie!

The heart and hands behind Extraordinary Balloons, a balloon décor business proudly serving Belleville, Illinois. As a self-taught balloon designer, I’ve discovered a deep passion for transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary moments. Whether it’s a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, I bring creativity and care to every design.
Alongside my business, I work full-time as a case manager, juggling both roles with purpose and pride. When I’m not inflating balloons, I’m diving into new travel adventures, binge-watching my favorite movie marathons, or soaking up time with family and friends.

For a long time, I kept my creative side tucked away. It wasn’t until I hit a personal and professional plateau that I realized I had something special to offer—and it was time to go all in.
From Hidden Talent to Growing Business

What started as a side hustle quickly grew into a passion project, and eventually, a thriving business. Taking that leap wasn’t easy, but it’s been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made. Extraordinary Balloons became my outlet for joy, imagination, and connecting with people in a truly meaningful way.
My journey as a balloon artist didn’t come with a manual—I built it from the ground up. I’m constantly learning, researching, and pushing myself to perfect my craft.
Each event is a chance to grow, not just creatively, but personally. I take pride in offering custom balloon décor that’s polished, professional, and tailored to each client’s vision.
Whether you’re planning a baby shower, birthday party, or a corporate event, I’m here to make it unforgettable—one balloon at a time.
Committed to Craft, Quality, and Growth
