A Word From Lee!

I’d like to think I’m an entertainer/entrepreneur! I've delivered over 9,000 Singing Telegrams since I started my business “Giggle Grammms” in 1981. Over the last
three decades, I’ve also created thousands of balloon arches and sculptures for clients who wanted to enhance their event with my balloon decorating business called “Happy Time Balloons” (I'm a certified balloon artist - one of just 2000 in the world!). I’m recognized often in my colored wigs either serving ice cream from my ice cream truck or while visiting an elder at a local nursing home.

Colin Walthall, Lee's son, was a big help in the early years!

I moved from upstate New York to Roanoke in 1980. I soon began a singing telegram business called "Giggle Grammms" with costumed characters for all ages and occasions. In 1985, I started "Happy Time Balloons." I love balloons and creating large sculptures!
In 2005, I discovered while helping a shut-in that I really enjoyed cleaning and organizing, so I became a De-clutter Counselor. My love for people, pets, hosting parties, cleaning, and being a mommy’s little helper to a friend with a new baby, led me to another business called “Sunshine Services.” |

I will be employing the help of the Sunshine Girls who have been a positive image in the community with their civic hospitality for the past several years. This business serves the needs of temporary situations that may arise with no long term commitments or contracts. We promise to leave every customer with Sunshine and Smiles.
