Motivate Me Monday #192 {Block Party}

September 23, 2013 by Kaysi 16 Comments

Hello everyone, I’m so glad that you are here today!!  I had a pretty big week this week, on Wednesday I got my braces off!!!  Here is a before and after picture.  I am so excited about it and I can’t stop smiling!  I had them on for 17 months.  I have already been enjoying things like gum, caramel popcorn and corn on the cob. I sure don’t miss them :).
It's Time for a Block Party! Link up at one of these great blogs and be seen on all four! Making the World Cuter, Sumo's Sweet Stuff, Rae Gun Ramblings and Keeping it Simple

    Thanks for hosting, Kaysi! A big thank you also for featuring my Orange Sweater Hoop Pumpkin. I've linked up another project from the sweater this week. Congrats on getting your braces off. We just put some on my son a couple of weeks ago and he is still lamenting all the things he can't eat 😉 Hope your week is filled with sticky sweets, corn on the cob and everything else that makes you smile!
    Blessings,
    Nici
