Pollyanna Journals-FREE

After spending many hours and weeks on the journal sets I have decided the first 2 will not be sold or auctioned.


Instead they will be given away.

Free.

To be in the 2 draws you need to first become a friend of the facebook page-
Once we pass 100 friends there will be one draw, the second set will be a simple competition where you can nominate someone you believe should receive a RAOK..

Both will be full journal sets. These are quite time consuming and costly to make and most sets will not be this size.

As I have explained before these have been designed as an ongoing fundraiser for Angel Flight, so as these 2 are not being sold I will also contribute those $$ to Angel Flight.

Obviously with Christmas fast approaching they wil not be able to be sent before then so entry will commence after Christmas, making them ( hopefully) a New Year's gift.

Future sets will be auctioned or sold (or may also be given away, you just never know) . Note the full sale or auction price goes to Angel Flight. I do add postage at its cost.Many of these sets will need to be posted in a box,for protection.

A Pollyanna Journal is a specially created package ranging in size from Full sets to very simple mini-journals and is designed to encourage you to 'Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative". (Most of you will probably be too young to know that song.) They are a cross between a Gratitude Journal and the Glad Game but can be adapted to other uses also.

So what do you need to do?

1.join the FB page as a friend

That automatically puts you in the draw for one box ( after we pass 100).

2.Watch for the information on how to enter the competition and in the meantime have a think about who you might like to nominate, and why.

Entries are not being accepted yet ,but details will be given right after Christmas.

Possum Pouches introduces the Pollyanna Journal

What is a Pollyanna Journal?

This is something I have been planning for some time, and is my own version of a cross between the Glad Game and a Gratitude Journal. They have been created as part of an ongoing fundraiser on my website in aid of Angel Flight.


I chose to call my creations Pollyanna Journals because as those of you who have read the Pollyanna books will know she played the Glad game, finding things to be glad about and thankful for.

It teaches you to turn away from the disappointments and problems and focus instead on things that you can be thankful for, or happy about. I see increasing numbers every day of people who could benefit from such an exercise.

My Pollyanna Journals come in different styles and shapes,not all are in book form, and some will come as special sets. Each item is individual, no two are exactly the same but all have the same purpose, that is they are to be used for writing or adding words or perhaps a few photos and mementos.They are not limited to being used as gratitude journals, they could be a diary, collection of quotes, trip diary etc.

If using them as a gratitude style of journal you need to be as spcific as possible.
This is a mental exercise to encourage better attitude and learning to think positive thoughts.

It helps you become aware of what you do have rather than what you think you should have, and at the same time makes you more aware of others around you who may not be so fortunate.

Pollyanna Journals is the property of Possum Pouches and the products are only available through the Possum Pouches website.

As you will realise there is a lot of work in each of these so they will be listed randomly, no custom orders.To have the opportunity to get a journal for free please support the Angel Flight auctions either with an item donation or by bidding on the items, then keep an eye on the Possum Pouches Facebook or blog pages.

All money raised from any journal and journal sets sales is in aid of Angel Flight.

Auctions from December to March will also be in aid of Angel Flight. This is a special long term fundraiser.

Please support this very worth cause.

Upcoming long term fundraiser

Following the Red Kite auctions at the end of November I am planning to hold a longer term auction spread over Dec, January, February and March , maybe longer.
These will all be in aid of Angel Flight
I have received permission from Angel Flight to fundraise on their behalf.

I hope many wahms will recognise what a great organisation Angel Flight is and generously donate items for auction.

I am introducing a new product to coincide with these auctions and you have the opportunity to receive one for free; more about that later.
In the meantime please consider offering an auction item for Red Kite in November, and/or Angel Flight from December through to March 2011
