See what boredom can do?

Micah's sleeping and has been for a while, so I've been playing with photoshop :)

I made a button for Emma to be able to share her story, our journey, and the continual prayer needs of our spacial little girl. All of our children are precious, but this is the "hour" for Emma. If you are a fellow-blogger and would share the button I'd appreciate it! Emma's Hope is in Him, and Jeremiah 29:11 says "I know the plans I have for you", says the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you HOPE and a future."

Here's the button:


And here's the code. You can put it into a post or put it on the sidebar of your blog. To insert it in your blog on the side panel go to "customize" then "layout" then on the side panel select "add a page element". Choose "HTML code" and copy/paste the code :)



I'd love it if you'll leave me a comment that you've linked over :)

  2. Glad Micah is feeling better. He needs all the rest he can get. Call me if you need some company at the hospital.

  3. what a precious picture of your sweetie! Shared on our blog, although I couldn't get a full-size image to appear...I'm sure it's my ineptness ;) Prayers for everyone to get over their own germs and not to share these items! Prayers for you and Mike as he works on school assignments in the midst of everything else. Hugs across the miles!

  4. Got it up on my blog, someday I need to have you tell me how to create one of them. I have a friend whom adopted a special needs child from another country and now he has a very rare and aggressive brain cancer. I have been wanting to add a button to my page so people can donate to his fund.

  9. Thanks everyone!

    I made the image a little smaller- hopefully that will take care of the cropping. It should automatically get smaller on your blog since the button 'links' to the original image on photobucket.

    I always forget that my blog is wider than the normal layouts. oops!

  25. Meredith I am trying and trying to add her button/link to my blog and it won't do anything but just write out your blog address. What am I doing wrong???

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thank you ALL for sharing our request for prayer for Emma and our family! What an overwhelming and FAST response. I am amazed by the down syndrome and adoption communities continually!

    Cammie- I don't know! Thanks for trying! If it's all written out in html then it should show the picture and that should link. The picture can be found here:

    if you want to do it separate from the link to the site.

    I appreciate you trying!

  36. Meredith,
    I just posted a blog about sweet Emma. Please let me know if you want me to change anything I wrote. I'm praying for her every time I think of her (and that's A LOT!) I have such a soft spot for her (and for your whole family). Give her a big kiss for me!
