I "announced" that I was pregnant last month by having "baby" pink and "baby" blue put on the bottom (clear powerchain up top). The picture is a bit washed out and the blues look a little light, but it got my point across! Unfortunately the ortho didn't have the pink in individuals and had to cut apart a powerchain to do this; they said 3M doesn't make them anymore. So in retrospect I should have done the pink powerchain across the top and blue on the bottom. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20...
Hey everyone, I'm back. I have been looking at this board, and thought I would post something. The colors I mainly stuck with were bright blue and hot pink, black and hot pink, purple and green. I did the crazy stuff. Oh and i saw on one of the first few pages where someone was talking about the figure 8 for the ligatures, yeh, that is just the ortho preference. The one I went to did it for all unless they couldnt get it to wrap, very rare though. I'm loving the pictures of the colors of everyones ligs.
I love the colours, but choosing coloured ligs isn't for me... I've chosen clear each adjustment. Last adjustment the ortho kept pressuring me to choose a bright colour, but no, I didn't...
