Ok so I'm not really that great with photoshop, so the best I can really do is copy and paste the penguins so there are more of them. I can't create new penguins so they will end up looking like exact copies of each other. Here is an example.
If people like this, I would need to know how many penguins people want, and what people want to do with the text (different font, color, etc) so that I only have to do this once...
@penelope4612 Love it! I think we range from families with (or soon to be) 1 - 7 children. So we could have 7 versions? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
@maamawaabangi - it's not that hard if I do it all at once bc I'm just copying once and then pasting as many times as I need. So you have 7 kids = family of 9 (just making sure I'm reading it correctly).
@DiFazette no problem... it's confusing because this is only my 5th pregnancy... two of our children were adopted and I didn't get the joy of carrying them. It's not always easy to specify each time I say 5th pregnancy... but 7th child. But thanks for trying and making sure I'm included!
@penelope4612 - I like the elf on the shelf thing just because there are so many silly ones out there. That being said I hope we aren't roped into it when we are parents. My neighbor (7) came out while I was raking leaves the other day and was like "Do you have an elf on the shelf" I'm like NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe we'll get into it though, who knows?

@leksiL - I have a feeling the Elf on the Shelf is something I'd get really into for a week and then forget about, and my kid would be like "how come the Elf doesn't ever move anymore? Is he dead?"
@penelope4612 that totally sounds like us too. We did a pagan holiday growing up and so Santa is an elf - and when he showed up there was a glitter trail that goes from the chimney to the tree. I'd like to do something similar, and adding a second elf might get confusing. Why does only one elf bring presents? IDK.
@Lisa3379 here's to hoping they go out of style in the next 3-4 years

Ok team, I think I did it, there should be one for everyone. Since the family of 4 is already up towards the top of the thread, it won't let me upload it again for some reason, so copy it from there: :
Thank you so much for doing this @penelope4612! They look amazing! I love our little penguin families!
Also it's kind of a hack but I sometimes resize by taking screenshots of the image after making my browser view smaller... dunno what that does for resolution or picture quality but it works for me
Ok everyone, I think I've fixed the issue so now you should be able to copy and paste the images below into your siggy and have them not be huge. I did have to change the text a little bit to get it to show up well once I shrunk the pics down.
If you haven't done this before, here is how you do it:
On a desktop/laptop - go to the upper right corner, to the silhouette of a head. Click on the head, then click on "preferences". On the left, click on the option that says "signature settings". You should just be able to copy the image here and then paste it into your siggy.
@penelope4612 I'm finding that if I don't bump 24/7, I miss a lot of crucial conversations - like penguin shrinkage apparently. I did mine in paint in like a minute (though I'm super impressed with your photoshop skills!). Then it took me hours to upload because photobucket is being a biotch.

I would propose Elf on the shelf - but if you're interested in participating post other ideas here.
exactly... 9 in all.
