New Year, New Plans: Start Fresh with Frances Simone Design


Happy New Year, friends!

Can you believe it’s already 2025? After the holiday hustle, January feels like a big, cozy exhale—a time for fresh starts and dreaming big. As we pack away the tinsel and settle into the calm of winter, it’s the perfect moment to reflect and reconnect.

Speaking of reconnecting, I have something delightful to help you make 2025 your most thoughtful year yet. This month’s freebie is a PDF mini book: Goal Setting Made Easy! It walks you through using S.M.A.R.T. goals to turn your dreams into actionable plans. Plus, consider adding "written connections" to your goals—a heartfelt letter or card is a beautiful way to stay connected with loved ones while nurturing relationships.

What’s New? I’ve been busy working on new designs that I can’t wait to share. I am most excited about my new Perpetual Birthday & Important Dates Calendar and I want you to help me perfect it! I am looking for a small group of testers to try out this calendar and offer honest feedback.

How it works:

  1. I will send you the calendar at no cost to you.
  2. You try it out and let me know what you think via a quick survey.
  3. As a thank you, you'll get a special gift or coupon for a future purchase.

Sound good? Click below to sign up to be part of my tester group. Spots are limited, so don't wait! Thank you for helping me grow and create even better products.

If you sign up you can expect to recieve your calendar in mid to late January.

Product Highlight: Start the year off right with my collection of beautifully designed 2025 calendars and planners! Here’s what’s waiting for you:

  • Three Desk Calendars: Compact and charming, featuring themes like mushrooms, floral bouquets, and birds—perfect for brightening up your workspace.
  • Large Wall Calendar: A stunning centerpiece with bold designs to keep your whole family organized. The mushroom and bird calendars are available in a variety of sizes to suit your space perfectly.
  • Undated Planner: Flexible and elegant, designed for those who love a mix of structure and creativity.

Take a peek at each of them in my Etsy shop, where you can find photos and all their unique features. Organize your year with style and inspiration!

Wishing You... A January filled with warm tea, snowy walks, and a journal bursting with fresh ideas. Let’s make this a year of connection and creativity—together!

Cheers to 2025,
Fran

Hello friends, The world’s been a little much lately, hasn’t it? So I’m leaning into the small things that still feel good — writing a note, sharing a meal, saying thank you just because. November feels like the perfect time to celebrate those quiet moments of gratitude that happen around kitchen tables and in mailboxes. You might notice something new: Wonderfolds has become Folded Memories. Turns out Hallmark already had a line by that name (because of course they did). After a small...

Hello friends, Fall has always been my favorite time of year.

The Wildflower Meadow Notecards & Journal are one of my favorites this time of year — whether...
