Just to name a few. There will be something for everybody. Keep your eye on this post for more donations.

Sorry for the late posting, I had my 3 year old at the Royal Childrens, having a small procedure on his eye. Even though he was under for a short time, I was a wreck, (mind you he didn’t take it well at all). Sitting in those places really opens your eyes. When you see the other children and babies being taken in, it really hits home as to how lucky you really are. So you can imagine how hard it must be for Dylan and his family and for what they have been through.

YOU TOO CAN HELP!
PURCHASE A TICKET AND REMEMBER

ALL THE PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS

THE DYLAN HARTUNG CAMPAIGN!!!!

Called into Paper Doll Scrapbooking yesterday and saw Wendy. She has been extremely gracious and offered to have some scrapbooking supplies available on the day. She is also willing to donate a % of the sales made on the day. So a huge thank you Wendy. Paper Doll Scrapbooking Boutique is located at Shop 7 / 129 Beach St Frankston VIC 3199 be sure to pop your head in and say hello.

Daphney Matthews has also donated her services on the day. Daphney and her sister Debra Fuller will incorporate some demonstrations and classes for the day. Details on classes etc, will be posted once they are finalised. Deb Fuller has also arranged for Kate Mason to donate a “Designed by” page for the day. We will have some more “Designed by” pages to be announced, so keep watching this site.

I have a few things on the go at the moment but won’t elaborate just yet, but some big news about to be posted! STAY TUNED!!!!

We are putting together a trash and treasure market on the day. What is that you might ask? Put together any of your old product, tools, embellishments etc, package it up and put a price on it. We will set up a little shopping area and other people on the day can purchase it of you. If it is sold then 10% of the sale goes towards The Dylan Hartung Campaign, and the rest in your pocket. If you would like to participate clearly package your items with clear plastic wrap in one parcel, itemise the contents and attach it to the parcel, then hand it in upon registration on the day. So have a clean out and remember One Mans Junk is another Mans TREASURE!!!

Yesterday I called into a shop at Hampton Park Shopping Centre called ARTY PANTS and met a lovely lady by the name of Jodie. Jodie has kindly offered to donate a prize for the day. If you happen to be in the area please take the time to have a look around the shop, and say hi to one of the friendly staff.

I also received confirmation of another donation from Addicted to Craft which will be going inside the goodie bags. Also a big thankyou to Pip Preston from Little Grasshoppers Child Care. Pip has made a donation of cardstock which will also be incorporated in the Goodie Bags.

Stay tuned for more updates!!!!!

Well more donations are arriving, Francheville are kindly donating goods for everyones goodie bags and I have another donation coming in the mail, but I have a memory like a sieve and cant remember who it was, will let you know when it arrives. Kathy at Remember When Scrapbooking has also offered to help out with donations so a big thank you to all.
I have been contacting some local radio stations to have something aired so hopefully we may here something back from them soon. I'm also working on Channel 7 at the moment, who knows what could happen there, keep your fingers crossed!
I also want to advertise at as many schools as I can so if any can help out there please let me know. I have just heard from my dear friend Tanja and Wurth Australia have kindly donated a world cup soccer ball that opens out into a cd player and radio. Thanks Tan.
Well I'm now off to promote ticket sales, wish me luck.

Yesterday, I received a very generous donation from Keepsakes Wholesale, which was fantastic a big thank you to them. I also received a 12mth subscription from Scrapbooking Memories, For Keeps and Scrapbook Creations, a big thank you to all of those companies for their fab donations. Not to mention also that Paper2 donated a $25.00 gift voucher. Tickets are also on sale at Crop till ya Drop in Mornington at Paper Doll Scrapbooking Boutique in Frankston and at Paper2 in Mornington. Deb Fuller has kindly donated her services and will be holding demonstrations throughout the day. Today I will spend a lot of time on the phone chasing up more donations and trying to promote the day in the local rag and on the TV & Radio.

The Dylan Hartung Campaign will be holding a Fundraising Scrapbooking Day:

Saturday 21st October 2006
Mahogany Neighbourhood Community Centre
26 Mahogany Drive, Frankston North
10.00am – 5.00pm
$25.00 (payable at time of booking)
BYO Lunch – Tea, coffee, refreshments supplied

raffles galore, door prizes, goodie packs

It’s going to be a jam packed day, don’t miss out. Please spread the word, it will be a day you won’t forget.

All profits will be donated to The Dylan Hartung Fund to assist with Dylan’s ongoing medical expenses.

You can also visit Dylan’s website at www.dylanhartung.net for more information.

Dylan is a 7 year old Australian boy who was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma on 26th July 2004 when he was 5 years old. Dylan was classed as refractory in December 2004, meaning he no longer responded to the regular Neuroblastoma protocols of treatment. As Dylan still has Neuroblastoma evident in his bones, the doctors in Australia would not perform surgery or harvest his stem cells to continue treatment regimes. We were told that Dylan had 2 – 12 months to live and there was little more that could be done for Dylan.


Dylan's fight for survival has led him to America, where they have many treatments that are not currently available in Australia, one in particular is called 3F8 Monoclonal antibodies. Dylan had his stem cells successfully harvested on the 7th and 8th February 2005 and had his main abdominal tumor entirely removed on the 9th February 2005 by a highly skilled surgeon who is an expert in the field of Neuroblastoma, at MSKCC in New York. Without this surgery, Dylan would not be alive today. Dylan has now commenced treatment to tackle the Neuroblastoma still present in his bones. We will continue our fundraising, as Dylan requires ongoing medical treatment in the US.
