I requested a siggy...and of course I want Cora included.


It's had 27 views and nobody's taken me up on it.


3 people who have requested AFTER me already have replies, and siggys done.


Is it because I included the picture of Cora?

My first thought is that is crazy... why would you think that. Then I realized we all *know* Cora and she is just a part of us. Maybe it does bother a couple people who just are easily bothered? I would think people like that are few and far between though. Maybe they just see the other siggy's and think they are so good, it would be hard to compete with what you have already had done?

I wish I knew how to make them.... I would do it for you

Sorry you are so frustrated. I hope that's not their reasoning behind not picking yours up. If that's the case they need to reevaluate their idea of children. Cora is your little angel baby and she's just as much a part of your family as Erin, she deserves a spot right next to Erin in your Siggie! I hope that some kind hearted creative person picks yours up real soon Brit! Take Care.

That's exactly why I don't make a general request when I'd like a new siggy. I go to a specific maker.

The only other thing I can think of, is if they think you won't like what they come up with. I know, stupid reason!!!

I hope you're able to get one made! If I knew how to make them, I definitely would make you one! Maybe I'll play around with my Gimp tonight and see what I can come up with.

I don't know, I guess it just proves I should ask my sister for them. She did the main one that's in my sig now. I'll let it sit for a couple days and if nothing then I'll have her make it for me.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Some people just don't understand that a child is a child no matter when he or she was born or whether he or she is beathing or not. Your precious baby girl still breathes in your heart, still lives in your heart and people need to respect that. It may make them uncomfortable, but to deny you a simple request because they're uncomfortable makes me sick.

I don't know if this'll help, but I found this through google:

To make a siggy strip.
Download 'Irfanview' (free download) from:
http://www.irfanview.com/
Once you've installed the program, open it up, click on 'Image' and select: 'Create panorama image'
Ensure that the 'horizontal' direction is checked.
Click on 'Add images'
Add the pictures that you want to include in your siggy strip. Aim for six maximum, otherwise they'll be so small that you won't be able to see them.
Save your siggy strip.
Go to imageshack or photobucket
http://www.imageshack.us/
http://photobucket.com/
Upload your siggy strip image onto imageshack/photobucket.
Resize it so that it is no more than 475 pixels wide.[/b]

I'm sorry Brit. I hope you find someone to make you one soon. I was going to have Astrid make me one, but she ran out of time and now she is busy with those trips. I may just wait on mine...I am thinking about naming my angel so I may wait until after I do that.

Maybe you should ask a specific person to to make you one...I be rawinser (sp?) would do a good job. Or I'm sure your sister would make a beautiful one also.

I tried to make you one but i can't figure my stupid photoshop out! I'm sorry people are so close minded but all of us understand and we all love cora! I haven't been here that long but I want you to know I think you are an amazing and strong person and I greatly respect that. I'm sorry I couldn't figure my stupid thing out if i ever do figure it out though you will get a surprise one from me!

My sister has been really busy lately, which is why I didn't ask her in the first place. She did such a beautiful job with the last one.

I hope someone steps up to the plate and makes you one.

Perhaps they are a little timid because of the delicate situation and don't want to make something that would offend you? Or perhaps they don't think they could make one good enough to really do her justice? Or maybe they are just plain rude... hard to tell

You should learn it though! I really do love making siggy's. I normally just stick to making them for myself just cause I don't think I have the talent to make them for other people. But it really is a fun thing to do.

If you need help or tips or anything, just let me know.
