As some of you may already know, my blogging and DT buddy Emma tragically lost her father in September last year, in an accident at work. Emma has teamed up with the wonderfully generous Paula from Pollycraft to raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance in memory of him.
Emma gave Paula a brief low down on her dad and Paula came up an amazing special edition digi simply called "Relaxing Ronnie"
He's available to buy for only £1.50 directly from Emma and also from the Pollycraft Shop. ALL proceeds from the sales will go to the YAA.
She also has a challenge running with some awesome prizes over on her blog, all you have to do is purchase the image, it's only £1.50, make a card or other project using it, enter it into her challenge and please also spread the word. The Yorkshire Air Ambulance need £7200 per DAY to keep both helicopters maintained and flying.
I love this image. It brings back memorys for me of my dad when I was a kid. Mum had the final say on all furnishing, decorations, ornaments - the lot, and she had LOADS of ornaments and frilly doily table cloth things. I remember once thinking my dad didn't look right on a pink sofa lol! So with that in mind, I had to bring "Relaxing Ronnie" out to play with my stash and here's the result....
Not exactly to my taste - but mum would be so chuffed with that sofa. To her credit she has a bit more taste now lol! Think we even had similar retro wallpaper at one point hahahaha!!
