Belinda Venables - LOVE her simple style
Tam Milborn - absolutely LOVE her simple but quirky style

Ok - thats done!
ANd here's what I've been doing - have done all my christmas cards - don't they look cool all piled here??


And here's a present I made for a friend.



Oh this was done a while ago - a VERY multi-photo LO of pretty much all the photos I took on one day in Sydney


And this is my entry for the puzzle sketches blog this month - my boys!

Not long now til we're off to Cocos - can't wait.
Spoke to Mum 2 days - spare a thought for those southwest WA farmers who were having a bumper season this year, only to have nearly 3 weeks of straight rain (which means you can't harvest and it also ruins the grain - it lowers the value of it) so now they'll be lucky if it goes 'feed' - they are getting to the point where they are worried that CBH wont' accept it at all.
Up here we just finished harvest yesterday!! YAY (LOL - as we don't have a big cropping program at all - being on the station with the whole 'pastoral lease' thing, you can't actually sell it - you can only use it for livestock feed/hay etc.
But my FIL has been harvesting for a few weeks for the neighbours and had an absolute dream run with the weather - but somehow I thought I'd better NOT mention this to Mum!
Anyway - off now - catch you later!

  2. ooooooh i have never been given one of these......thanks so much Fran.

    You know i think it is so funny - i admire your work so much. Every mag i pick up and drool over the layouts shown just happen to be yours.....so i am a BIG fan of your style.

    I think us 'simple girls' (you, me, Leanne S, and Bel) need to stick together as we are in a minority here LOL.

    Damn i wish you were coming to the retreat too!!!

    Thankyou so much for this cool award!

  5. Love the LO Fran, the background colours are very boy-ish.

    And you say you're going to Coco's??!! Do you mean Cocos Keeling Islands?? Oh Im sooooo jealous!! Ive been there 3 times, and actually lived there for 6 months when I was younger. It is the most beautiful, unspoiled place ever. We're planning on another trip once asap, perhaps next year, once my niece is a little older (she's not quite 1 yet.)

    Anyways, have a blast!
