for char....


i was recently in contact with char's sister again and mentioned to her that many of you had sent me personal emails regarding doing something to keep char's memory alive.
as a family, they will be making a book of char's photographs and words, for their own personal keepsakes and she thought the idea of all of us, keeping char's blog alive, was a fantastic idea.


after rolling around a few ideas, i decided that a blog badge would be something char would have loved. so i grabbed some of her photos, ones that i felt represented her the best and made six different badges.


for most of you, you can just copy and paste one of these badges to your blogs and add char's blog as the link to the photo.
for blogspot bloggers, you use "picture gadget" and use the link "charlaneg.blogspot.com
~
{you can see mine added at the bottom of my blog}


if any of you know how to make an html code for all of these badges and want to help me out with that, i would hugely appreciate it.
i'm thinking for some of you, that might be an easier way
{thanks to eva, you can go HERE if you need the html code for the badge of your choice}


also, some of you might need to resize the badge you choose. i tried to make a one size fits all size, but with so many different blogs, i know that that's probably an impossible feat.


so to char
whose
photos and words and music and recipes
are missed everyday
the memory of you
will never be forgotten

This is a beautiful idea.

You are so thoughtful.

christinemyoung said...

i did not know char, but i feel like i know who she was via having the opportunity to read/see her blog. i'm so sorry for the loss you and many others are experiencing.

the badge and you are beautiful ♥

Country Girl said...

Feeling down. And then I came here.

Love this idea.

Tonight, if I lived near you, I'd text you on your cell and ask you to meet me at the ice cream parlor. I would get chocolate reeces cup ice cream and you would get something equally decadent, only you wouldn't gain an ounce whereas I may as well just apply the ice cream liberally to my hips.

* sigh *

Beth, this is such a lovely idea. I've been wondering what would happen with Char's blog, knowing that there is so much wisdom and beauty in both her writing and her photography. (and what a beautiful legacy and treasure she's left for her family)

I feel very happy about this...thank you, thank you! I'll be displaying a "Char" badge with love.
