To both of my daughters’ delight, I have turned my blog purple for Maddie, and all seven of our family members will be wearing purple tomorrow.

that’s a LOT of purple!
I actually went through my closet and drawers last night and was shocked to find I own nothing purple anymore! So while I’m not wearing anything purple yet, I do plan to have some purple to wear by the 14th for Maddie.

I’m clueless at changing the colors on my blog but I did make my twitter background purple for Maddie.

I can’t change my colors, so I tried changing the font colors here.
This is a great idea. Thank you for doing this! I’ll be wearing purple tomorrow as well.

With Mrs. Flinger’s help, I finally got the background purple! I had managed the text on my own, but the sneaky theme I was using had perplexed me.
Community is so wonderful. ♥

I went purple on my twitter and blog. My blog is still green, technically, but all the links to donate are there. When I alter the heading it goes nuts. I used lunapic.com to turn my twitter green.

I’ve been wearing my purple scarf & will be finding something more purple to add to an outfit for Tuesday.
What a terrific thing you’ve done to rally everyone to show their love and support for Heather & Mike…the Internet has been a beautiful place this last week. I hope the Sporhs are able to feel it, even if only a little bit through their pain.
Okay, I totally did the link thing wrong & linked my blog on the Twitter link, so I had to fix it (that’s why I’m on there 2ce–sorry!) Both blog & Twitter are purple in honor of Maddie.
I’m lame and linked wrong.

Thank you so much for doing this. I love all the support sweet Heather and Mike are getting :]
It took all the technical know-how I could muster, AND I could only figure out how to change the words to purple – but I DID IT! I’m all purple for Maddie, in blog and in spirit.

Carlas last blog post..Going purple
[...] I have always believed in living by example, especially to my son, and for that reason I’ve decided that the best way to honor the memory of my lost pregnancies is to help others. I cannot participate in the March of Dimes March For Babies this year but I have every intention of doing it next year and every year I can. For now, I am just making donations, spreading the word, and showing my support by going purple. [...]
I read about Maddie for the first time last week. It broke my heart to hear of the Spohr’s loss. In honor of Maddie my blog and twitter went purple. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Couldn’t change the font colors, because I’m on a free Wordpress blog, so I changed my banner.
In the past week, purple has randomly and intentionally popped up everywhere. From headbands to crayon color selection, or just a color in the sky come night time, Maddie is everywhere.
