Charity Challenge In Memory Of My Dad....

Good Morning...
I have something very different for you today, no challenge DT card or challenge entries....I am looking for you to enter a challenge with me.


You may or may not be aware that my Dad died last September following an accident at work...in his memory my family & I are raising funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance charity.


Whilst chatting to Paula from Pollycraft about the fundraising she did the most amazing thing and offered to draw a special edition digi for me in Dads memory. I gave Paula a brief on my Dad and here is...''Ronnie Relaxing''


Isn't he fantastic??!!! Hope you love him as much as I do...


I just can't thank Paula enough for her amazing help and support...


Huge thanks Paula xxx


''Ronnie'' is available to buy for only £1.50 directly from me and also from the Pollycraft shop. ALL proceeds from the sales will go to the YAA.



*** To get your image please click the ''Just Giving'' widget on the top right side of my sidebar...use my page to pay the £1.50 with credit/debit card or Paypal, drop me an email to woodemma9@aol.com and your image will be mailed to you asap.


This is the best way as the charity will get the full amount plus gift aid, no fees charged either. REMEMBER to leave me a message with your name/blog name, thank you

OR


pop over to the Pollycraft shop....here ***

Hey sweetie! I put the candy up in my blog now, hope it looks ok, hugs.

Delphine said...

Hi Emma! Do not be surprised if you don't get an email from me. I just wanted to let you know that I bought the image from Pollycraft. I tried to use the "Just giving" link on your website but when I clicked donate with Paypal, nothing happened (because I am non UK?). So after 3 attempts, I went to Pollycraft and no problem with Paypal there! So I now have your wonderful image! Hugs Delphine xx
