The Nappy Hunt begins

The time is here, the hunt starts tomorrow (Wed 1st) at Diaper Decisions.
The PossumPouches site may be rather quiet for the first week as I have been away and have a mountain of "stuff" to catch up on, but several items have been promised for this month and will be auctioned somewhere during September. Also some "for sale" items will be going up randomly, so please do keep an eye on the site each week.
The icon will be really easy to find, the site does not have many pages at all and you don't have to click through sub-pages either, so most of you will find it in the first 2 or so clicks. That means no clues, and no starting point link.
It may change position during the month.
Don't allow the hunt to frustrate you, start with the easy ones and you will have enough very quickly for the first level of prizes.Don't spend too much time on any one site in the first week.If you don't find it within a couple of minutes make a note to come back to it and then move onto the next one. Those who get frustrated with the hunt are the ones who stay on a tricky site for too long.
You have a month to find icons, if you progress this way you will get far less annoyed with any one site.
Happy Hunting

September Auctions

The next round of auctions will take place through the whole month of September, as this is Great Cloth Nappy Hunt month .
If you can donate items for auction it would be greatly appreciated.
This time there will be smaller items for sale through the month as well.

I have received authorisation from the Alannah and Madeline Foundation to raise funds in their name, using their logo.

Alannah and Madeline Mikac, aged 6 and 3 were killed, along with their mother at Port Arthur in the tragedy that occurred on 28th April 1996.The foundation was set up by their father and others with the belief that all children should have a safe and happy childhood without being subjected to any form of violence.
I visited Port Arthur some months after this event and it left a lasting impression on me.
Please give generously , either items for auction or sale, or by bidding. These items will go up randomly throughout September so please check in to see if new items have been listed.

Authorisation has also been received for November's auctions, and this will benefit Red Kite. I will have more info about that later.
All fundraising on this site is done with prior permission of the charities involved, whom I personally contact.
If you have a charity or organisation you would like to help it may be able to be run through this site, so please feel free to contact me. The site is set up to involve other people, not just myself.
The charity knitting and crochet project is ongoing, and I will be delivering items in the next couple of weeks to a group who is desperately in need of them. If you knit or crochet please give serious consideration to becoming involved, either through Possum Pouches, or within your local area.

Successful fundraiser for Jeans for Genes

The July auctions for Jeans for Genes has finished, with $535 being raised from auction bids.This will be forwarded on this week just as soon as I gather all the funds in the same place. A sincere thank you to everyone who donated the beautiful items which were auctioned, and also to everyone who bid on these auctions, whether you won the item or not.
There is no auction in August, please give support to the Juvenile Diabetes auctions being run by Sue and Natalya via Ravelry and WoollyButts.
September will see auctions on the possum pouches site all month during the Nappy Hunt, more about that shortly.
October, again no auctions, please support the Breast Cancer auctions at Murasaki Mama.
Fund Raising for September and November has now been authorised by the relevant charities so I will be chasing donations for both of those.
If you are bidding please if possible I ask you to pay via direct deposit. It keeps all the funds in the same place, but it avoids the annoying hassle of paypal fees,and having to wait for the money to reach the bank after transferring it across.
