:: Win :: Super Amazing Useful Things From Frankie

September 28, 2011

Oh Frankie. You probably love Frankie as much as I do.  And Frankie has done a super amazing job at branching out into other kinds of publications, like Afternoon Tea, Sweet Treats, Spaces and Smith Journal too. Aside from the super amazings, there are the super amazing and USEFULS. This includes the Frankie Calendar and the Frankie Diary!

 Is SUPER AMAZING USEFUL just your cup of tea?  Well all you have to do is leave a comment and you might win BOTH The Frankie Diary AND The Frankie Calendar.  If you win, you will feel glad.  Glad is good way to be, I think.

Did you know I write for Frankie?  I do.  Lucky me. I’m totes glad.

Entries close on Monday night Melbs time.  Australia/NZ only, puleeze!

Fank you Frankie!

xx Pip

    oh frankie

  • Bridget October 3, 2011 at 6:56 PM

    I've just discovered your blog (after receiving your Make Hey! book as a pressie!) and I totally love!! would love love this Frankie stuf too! πŸ™‚

  • Anonymous October 3, 2011 at 5:26 PM

    i so love frankie too. i quite like that i am not really in the demographic that its aimed at. makes me feel younger for a little bit!

  • Jodi October 3, 2011 at 4:38 PM

    Oh gosh!!! I would SO love to win…..as a Mum of five children aged between 2 and 16 I NEED a diary….in fact, I don't know how I have survived the year without one….but I have!!! Anyway, I would like to be more organised, and I occasionally 'splurge' on a Frankie mag for myself, so I am sure these items are gorgeous too!!!!

  • Kate w October 3, 2011 at 3:02 PM

    Yes I would love to win – useful and pretty!!

  • lamina@do a bit October 3, 2011 at 12:23 PM

  • jessica October 3, 2011 at 11:49 AM

    this looks lovely. yes please!
    btw keep up the good work x

  • Anna October 3, 2011 at 10:09 AM

    Oh, is there anything better than a beautiful diary? I love the weeks before anything goes in it – all that time to think about the amazing things one will probably end up doing. Parties and dinners and brunches and meetings with interesting and creative people. The anticipation of a blank diary is almost as good as a blank notebook.

  • Rod-ney October 3, 2011 at 7:36 AM

    the calendar prints look wicked and the diary looks ready for me to scribble all my notes and important dates on (in my best handwriting of course). See ya Pip

  • Emma October 3, 2011 at 6:58 AM

    The Calendar and Diary look mega cool πŸ˜€ I would love to win!

  • Suzy October 2, 2011 at 10:28 PM

    I LOVE…….. your blog & Frankie!!! The diary & calendar look so, so wonderfully awesome : )

  • stuffandwhatnot October 2, 2011 at 7:17 PM

    Lovely. Love Frankie. Love the journal. Love Meet Me at Mikes!

  • Corinne October 2, 2011 at 4:23 PM

    It would be the prettiest way to get organised!

  • Belinda October 2, 2011 at 11:46 AM

    What a delightful giveaway! I have only just discovered Frankie through a friends blog and realised that Frankie is quite like no other magazine! Loved reading on your blog about the calendar and diary – what a beautiful gift to give my Mum for Christmas. x x

  • Bella October 2, 2011 at 10:29 AM

    yes please I would definitely love to win!

  • Lucy October 2, 2011 at 10:22 AM

    Frankie Diary. Need I say more? The two words just go together like cheese and vegemite :]
    I had one of the glorious diaries last year and hope that they will continue making these goodies that shine light into my organisational world everyday!
    Oh I hope to win one of the calendar or diary :] please please.

  • Tracy October 2, 2011 at 9:13 AM

    I did not know you write for frankie, that is extremelly cool. I love that magazine like an old friend that you only get to catch up with every 2 months but it is awesome every time. I brought Smith Journal yesterday for my boyfriend but I snuck it last night for a read first and I have to say I enjoyed it just as much as Frankie. This is such an awesome giveaway, I missed out on their diary this year and was so sad.

  • owlette ? October 1, 2011 at 11:31 PM

    Hooray for Frankie!! I remember reading the very first issue and knowing it would be the only mag for me! I've also made it a rule that I must buy all other publications they make, and so have both cookbooks and SPACES on my bookshelf. I must say that my very favourites sections in the mag have always been the crafty diy and recipe bits, and I'm so happy to find that so much of that happy-ness is from you, dear Pip! Thank you thank you for making craft famous again (as it should be, in my opinion!)

  • Kim October 1, 2011 at 10:48 PM

    Oh gosh would burst with happiness to have these… I think being organised should definitely be my next goal. Yes.

  • Carly October 1, 2011 at 10:42 PM

    They both look so lovely! I write all the funny things the kids say on the calendar (to transfer to a book at the end of the year), so the calendar choice each year is a pretty important one… 2012 might be a Frankie year! I'm tempted to try out Gretchen Rubin's 'one sentence journal' next year, so I'll need to shop for a journal too… thanks for such a cute giveaway! And thanks for your gorgeous blog, full stop! ps – my word verification was 'bogshydr' – maybe that was meant for your troll (shudder)?

  • MelBee October 1, 2011 at 10:23 PM

    Totally fabulous! Count me in please Pip. Everyone needs a little Frankie in their day.
    Thankyou! Mel

  • Kerry October 1, 2011 at 8:45 PM

    Oh! How exciting! Did you know I moderate the frankie forum? The frankie forum is really great, but it's been a bit quiet over there for some time… sad. Hope more people pop on over and say hello πŸ™‚

  • brissettr October 1, 2011 at 8:43 PM

    oooohhhh… im a new mum, and this might be just what i need to outwit my babybrain!!

  • Claire October 1, 2011 at 7:59 PM

    I feel like now I am at a point in my life that I really really need a Frankie Diary…pretty please I'll write in it every day!

  • AJ October 1, 2011 at 6:52 PM

    Hi Pip!
    Frankie + a nice warm cup of tea on a nice happy rainy green day = comfort and contentment!!

  • Anna October 1, 2011 at 4:49 PM

    what a fabulous giveaway, both the journal and the calendar look amazing, would brighten up my desk & keep me organised

  • Meryl October 1, 2011 at 4:14 PM

    I love Frankie magazine. I don't know where to buy it now Borders has closed down. I would LOVE to win a calendar and diary. The picture of the boy and girl on the park bench looks so much like two lovely friends of mine. Thanks and I love your blog!

  • DaffodilAngel October 1, 2011 at 11:53 AM

    Wow, I loved the Afternoon Tea book by Frankie and use it quite a lot and didn't realise there were calendars and diaries too. Thanks for the opportunity and the article in the Hobart Mercury about you was terrific too. Best wishes πŸ™‚

  • plain jane styling October 1, 2011 at 10:56 AM

    Gorgeous! I would LOVE one of these on my desk!

  • Saffron Craig September 30, 2011 at 10:24 PM

    It would be the best to win either of these, most useful and wonderfully inspiring. Ta for a chance.

  • Lauren September 30, 2011 at 9:59 PM

    OH! how wonderful! I have been using the journal this year and gosh I get so many comments on saying how pretty it is! And the calendar is just wonderful too!…and I did know you write fro frankie! thanks a cool job!

  • Lazzz September 30, 2011 at 7:01 PM

    I'd love a cup of that. Such cool, yet useful artwork.

  • elflyn September 30, 2011 at 4:08 PM

    Oh pick me, pick me………
    So much to do, so little time, must write it down!!
    Giving rein to my inner 'white rabbit'
    Thank you

  • Lizzy September 30, 2011 at 3:55 PM

    ohhh so much prettiness in the new calendar! AND amy's stunning drawings in the 2012 diary. cannot wait to use it! x

  • knitgirl66 September 30, 2011 at 3:20 PM

    Oh I would love to win this beauitful giveaway. Due to changes in our lives (mostly me having to stop working to homeschool our 10years who has Asperger's) I have crossed off buying a 'special' diary and calendar off my list for 2012 – making do with 'no-frills' ones.
    To have a Frankie diary and calendar would help with organising appointments, school work submission dates, and all the usual bill dues – as well as remembering to celebrate family birthdays and special occasions.

  • Anonymous September 30, 2011 at 2:58 PM

    I have only just found Frankie this year it's lovely I carry it on to the train with much pride yes thats me i'm a maker and a thinker everyone. I like just touching the pages too. Thankyou you look nice today also.

    Best wishes

  • Anonymous September 30, 2011 at 12:10 PM

    I think my Mama's kitchen would look grouse with the addition of that gorgeous calender. Plus, she might stop nagging me if I keep my life organized using the lovely diary. What a splendid thought!

    P.S Frankie and Pip – I love you!

  • sami September 30, 2011 at 11:47 AM

    This would be a most splendid prize to win πŸ˜€ thank you for the opportunity and yes I adore Frankie!

  • carolyn September 30, 2011 at 11:17 AM

    hey pip,
    i am a frankie subscriber, it's the kind of mag that fits me like a glove. greeny/arty/crafty. i am also a virgo, and a super organised virgo without a diary and a calender is just unheard of. so here's hoping.

  • katrina September 30, 2011 at 11:07 AM

    I love frankie! and I'd love to start organising my next year in such style!

  • Jill September 30, 2011 at 9:54 AM

    awww they're both so pretty! It would be lovely starting the new year on such nice pages! πŸ™‚

  • Miss Magenta September 30, 2011 at 8:00 AM

    Thanks xo

  • Silver Threads of Happiness September 30, 2011 at 12:09 AM

  • Claire September 29, 2011 at 10:25 PM

    I haven't come across Frankie before they are so cute. I love the little kittygirl mask.

  • Sally September 29, 2011 at 10:18 PM

    Oh!!! The journal is open on my birthday… could it be a sign? Please, oh please be a sign that I'll be a winner.

    Thanks so much for the chance to win.

  • Sandra September 29, 2011 at 9:59 PM

    oooh, treats from frankie. they look so lovely (and so very useful) x

  • Cath September 29, 2011 at 9:52 PM

    I've decided it's time to go back to a paper diary next year. I haven't felt properly organised since I went hi-tech. And a Frankie one would be rather a nice re-introduction I think!

  • DonnaQ September 29, 2011 at 4:16 PM

    OMG – I am a recent convert to Frankie and now a die hard fan and who doesn't love a good diary and calender – it makes planning so much more fun. Every year I spend ages deciding on what my diary will be for the next year and to win a frankie one would be just divine.
    Thanks for a brilliant give-away and a brilliant blog you always make me smile

  • Candice September 29, 2011 at 3:54 PM

    Frankie has got to be one of the best creative publications out there! I remember the first time I bought an issue and I must have read it at least 20 times from front to back. Love this giveaway!

  • sarah September 29, 2011 at 3:29 PM

    Hi Pip! I'd love to win one of these. I had a Frankie diary this year and LOVED it. It was super-cute! Thanks for the giveaway.

    SUPER AWAZING USEFUL would be brilliant, thank you Pip.

    Even if I don't win, I'll keep an eye out for these, because they look, well, SUPER AMAZING USEFUL!

  • MeAndBoo September 29, 2011 at 2:41 PM

    Oooo! I have always wanted one of these, especially the calender – it would mean keeping it forever 'n ever for the lovely pictures inside. Or framing them, hmmm. That would add many more items to my walls that are already heaving under the weight of cuteness.

  • Robyn September 29, 2011 at 2:25 PM

    Wow, great giveaway thank you!

  • ReannonHope September 29, 2011 at 2:19 PM

    So yesterday won your book & received a surprise gift from a far away friend. Today I'm gonna push my luck & see if I cam win this too & then that'll make 3 nice things to happen & then I'll know for sure I'm on a good streak ( have been on a not so good streak for awhile so am looking for signs things are turning round). But if I don't win that's ok too cause I'm grateful for the other two good things & hopefully the third is lurking around a corner waiting for me πŸ™‚ best of luck to everyone else xOx

  • Nance September 29, 2011 at 2:00 PM

    YES PLEASE!!! Those cute Frankie calender and diary will be super, amazing and useful for recording my first baby's progress through the year and keeping me organised as a new mum!!! YES PLEASE!

  • freakingoutnow September 29, 2011 at 1:02 PM

    I think the Frankie diary would inspire me to record my thoughts. Just to see my writing on the page. I don't write on paper very much anymore. This makes me a little sad. But nevermind.
    I'm totes glad you like Frankie too Pip!

  • Clare September 29, 2011 at 12:58 PM

  • ~ a ~ September 29, 2011 at 9:21 AM

    Ooohhh! It would be wonderful to win the diary and calendar. I need the calendar to record all of the gigs I'm bound to end up going to and all my dreaded uni assignments so I can plan my procrastination appropriately. I will, for the first time in a long time, actually need a diary next year. Final year at uni, and my first 2 pracs in high schools. It would be nice to win some cred with the potential rat bags, rather than being a boring science teacher. I think it will improve my image just a little. I also might need to know which day of the week it is! Frankie is rad, and the kids will be super impressed (and I'll feel a little bit 'cool' for the first time in my life!!)

  • clementine September 29, 2011 at 9:01 AM

    I would like to win the diary and calendar please because I am very disorganised and also I would like to have a place to store important dates like Ryan Gosling's birthday and the Mayan end of the world and dates when new flavours of Red Rock Deli crisps come out.

    My word verification is 'fratatho' and I think there's something in that for everyone.

    I would LOVE to win the diary, I desperately need to replace my boring navy blue work diary with something that speaks more of my personality. Frankie and, of course, Pip and Meet Me At Mikes, have inspired me to become a much more interesting person; I sew now!! Go me! Hooray. Much love xx

  • Alli September 29, 2011 at 8:15 AM

    Oh wow. I love Frankie. I've been searching in the newsagents in Alice Springs for the diary but no luck as yet. To win one would be awesome!!

  • Over Excited Person September 29, 2011 at 8:12 AM

    I LOVE FRANKIE…….I pretty much read it from cover to cover….I love all the random stories. I would love to be included in this giveaway…thanks for the chance Pip xoxo Jo

  • hisforhayley September 29, 2011 at 6:36 AM

    Good morning! I am going to Canada for a teaching exchange for 2012, and the frankie journal would be the perfect way for me to chronicle my adventures. A little bit of home and frankie love on the road would be very nice indeed. Please count me in for the giveaway, Pip!

  • HamiltonMum September 29, 2011 at 6:19 AM

    I am a recent Frankie convert – much to hubby's disgust – (what? another magazine??) – this prize would be Su-per πŸ™‚

  • Crafting Health Sue September 29, 2011 at 5:27 AM

    I do so love Frankie, not least because that's how I discovered Brown Owls and your very good self and look what that's done for me, life and career just ain't been the same since, in a truly super and inspirational way.

  • jodie September 29, 2011 at 5:08 AM

    i love frankie too! i could be so organised with this…and look organised too!

  • Sharonnz September 29, 2011 at 5:04 AM

    GOR-JUS. Jonesing after Spaces too;-)

  • westwickate September 29, 2011 at 2:36 AM

    I thought for a minute about a frankie calendar with centrefolds of benjamin law and mareike hardy et al…. but then realised it wasn't one of those calendars, but i am totally OK with the regular kind.

  • Amymarie September 29, 2011 at 2:15 AM

    oh man oh man oh man these are beautiful! I love being organized and would LOVE these so much.

  • Amanda September 29, 2011 at 1:43 AM

    Frankie is so interesting, I'd love to win something like this!

  • pippolata September 29, 2011 at 1:07 AM

    What a sweetie you are Pip to give away such a lovely gift! I would give the diary to my eldest daughter cos she lurves Frankie and I would give the calendar to my youngest daughter cos we have a joke about "how frank are you, Frank?" …well, it's funny to us! πŸ™‚

  • Katie September 29, 2011 at 12:29 AM

    Love! I actually have EVERY single issue from the very first one.. it's the pride of my bookshelf!

    The word verification was 'picmep'.. It is actually telling you to "pic me" crazy!

  • cerebral e September 29, 2011 at 12:28 AM

    I feel happy just looking at the pictures of the diary.

  • Wendy Howarth September 28, 2011 at 11:54 PM

    Would love to organise my life next year with the Frankie diary and calender, but I think I might be too far away here in the UK.

  • Cathg1g2 September 28, 2011 at 10:56 PM

    This is the Chrissy pressie for my teen

  • Carmen @ Forgotten Fancies September 28, 2011 at 10:08 PM

    Yes please!

  • claire-elisa September 28, 2011 at 9:56 PM

    Oh I love calanders, my family think I am mad though b/c I dont write or let anyone else write on them, I use scraps of paper instead and keep it in a pile in the draw, then forget everything! I think its funny, nobody else does!

  • vancybec September 28, 2011 at 9:48 PM

    Oh wowsers! I do so hope that the random number generator gods are smiling on me! This prize is wonderful and would make me very happy!!

  • Colleen September 28, 2011 at 9:43 PM

    Hi Pip
    I bought my very own Frankie for the first time yesterday and saw a piece about you in there πŸ™‚ I used to manage a library and I made sure we subscribed to Frankie (from issue one), a must to be shared amongst the library patrons. But now I'm treating myself and buying my very own to snuggle up with a cuppa on the couch and get filled with inspiration!
    Bestest and more πŸ™‚

  • Kat September 28, 2011 at 9:35 PM

    Seems everyone's talking about this diary – I think it must be THE one to have πŸ™‚

  • KittyA September 28, 2011 at 9:23 PM

    Hello! I have read your blog, as well as frankie for many years and to win something to do with frankie ON your blog would be the greatest!

  • Sway September 28, 2011 at 9:15 PM

    Yay Pip! I adore Frankie (and your awesome articles ofcourse!). I was so bummed to miss out last year, so even if I don't win, I'll be snapping one up soon!
    Luvluv,
    Shann

  • MTB Girl September 28, 2011 at 9:13 PM

  • Retro Age Vintage Fabrics September 28, 2011 at 9:12 PM

    Yes, me love Frankie, too…me would love to write for Frankie or do a complete cover in fabric collage…that would be ace to me! And I need to be Frankie organised…frankly. Cos I am so totally not organised…I am more unruly in an unruly way!

  • sallyb September 28, 2011 at 8:34 PM

    A Frankie diary… what a perfect place to jot down my random observations of the world.

  • I love button's by Emma September 28, 2011 at 8:25 PM

    Hi Pip, I am a huge Frankie fan and my man loves it too, he now has the Smith Journal. I used to read Spaces to my little girl when she was little and she enjoyed looking at the photo's. I have used this years Diary heaps, and I also use it to write down my daughters mile stones for her first year. I would love to win them, but as others have said I will still buy them if I don't.
    Thanks

  • Kylie September 28, 2011 at 8:22 PM

    The loveliest way to help me get my act together…I am going to be waaaay more organised next year. I've decided. A Frankie diary/calendar combo would be a v.nice way to get started. Please.

  • Jill September 28, 2011 at 8:13 PM

    Hello Pip, A few years ago I made my own frankie diary – I cut out pictures and patterns from my frankie collection and other places to decorate a plain diary. My favourite was using pictures of vintage wrapping paper on my friend's and family's birthdays. I covered it in pink sparkly wrapping paper I had saved off a present, a vintage postcard of a room in a German palace and some pretty postage stamps…
    But the real thing looks so much more beautiful!

  • amelieandatticus September 28, 2011 at 8:00 PM

    oooooooo……….that would be super awesome….I could be super planned and super pretty!!!!

  • Tara September 28, 2011 at 7:32 PM

    Nawww, super cute diary is cute!

  • marjee September 28, 2011 at 7:28 PM

    yay! Frankie = yippee

  • Catherine September 28, 2011 at 7:27 PM

    I tell myself that I would be more organised if I had a beautiful diary – this could be a good way to find out if that's true! thank you x

  • Tania September 28, 2011 at 7:25 PM

    I always enjoy the magazine and recently bought Spaces which is full of visual delights. These look like another cute addition.

  • Rie September 28, 2011 at 7:16 PM

    Ooh, yes please – I'd love to feel glad!!

  • Tas September 28, 2011 at 7:15 PM

    I can certainly vouch for both Frankie's Afternoon Tea and Sweet Treats. Yum!

    Lovely giveaway, Pip. Thanks.

  • Taylor Made September 28, 2011 at 7:07 PM

    What fun to win….thanks for sharing.

  • Kathryn September 28, 2011 at 6:46 PM

  • greta @ topography September 28, 2011 at 6:45 PM

    Eeek! These would make my life so much more pretty! (oh, and organised…) Love.

  • sundaycrafternoon September 28, 2011 at 6:40 PM

    Yes! I love Frankie. My dad came up with a good word to describe why I liked it – it's stimulating! In the kind of way where I go rifling through my craft cupboard. A fabric-covered diary would be lovely I think, they get dirty in the best possible way.

  • Jacquie September 28, 2011 at 6:34 PM

    Yep, I'd L O V E this for sure :o)

  • Kirsty September 28, 2011 at 6:21 PM

    Oh yes please! I need to order my calendar and diary for 2012….and these are so pretty.

  • Emma September 28, 2011 at 6:13 PM

  • Marzipan September 28, 2011 at 5:58 PM

    Frankie is A for Awesome! Love the look of the diary. It takes my fancy that the pages have different coloured themes and decorations. Variety is the spice of life. Don't have my 2012 diary yet, so this would be great!
    Love this blog, it's a daily addiction ;o)

  • Karin September 28, 2011 at 5:54 PM

  • little September 28, 2011 at 5:36 PM

    next year is my final year of uni and i am promising myself that i'm going to be super organised and start my assignments early and draft myself a study plan, which either the calendar or diary would help immensely in doing. plus they would be a daily reminder to be creative, as i am doing accounting i need the reminding as if i'm not careful my days become all numbers and then i will become a dull girl… can't be having that!

  • Mazzy September 28, 2011 at 5:33 PM

    Getting Frankie every 2 months injects a bit of fun into my daily grind, especially your crafty projects Pip! I imagine that having Frankie's diary or calender would make my days even more awesome. Thanks Pip πŸ™‚

  • Rachel September 28, 2011 at 5:33 PM

  • Miss T September 28, 2011 at 5:28 PM

  • Adriana Christianson September 28, 2011 at 5:23 PM

Imagine all those little people beavering away making their artwork,doing it because it is just who they are and what they do -then having it published for all of us to pour over ! I hope it makes them happy, it does me ,just looking at them…sigh

  • Nic September 28, 2011 at 5:23 PM

  • Candy September 28, 2011 at 5:00 PM

    Yes, please! Frankie is a favourite of mine also. I have so enjoyed the prettiness of this year's Frankie diary – it makes scheduling boring meetings positively lovely. I would love to be cheered by Frankie loveliness each day next year also. πŸ™‚

  • Mrs Smith September 28, 2011 at 4:55 PM

    I likey! The Smith Journal is grouse, a bit hipster for oldies like me, but we can dream.

  • beebeeoko September 28, 2011 at 4:50 PM

    I never know what to write in these comment to win things so I'll just say this: I wish I picked the silverbeet for dinner before the rain and lightning started! aaahhh! hehe πŸ™‚

  • Lillabilly September 28, 2011 at 4:29 PM

    Ooooh, what a lovely give away…please count me in. I think if I won, I would have to keep the calender for my craft room and pay the Frankie-love forward by giving away the diary on my own blog! Thanks so very muchly Pip and Frankie too!

  • adddesign September 28, 2011 at 4:25 PM

    Hi Pip. i just love Frankie! Its my fave mag and they do such a fab job of everything they touch! And the frankie Calendars are always a must have for me, filled with lovely illustrations by lots of wonderful talented people. The 2011 one is hanging in my kitchen. Can't wait to get my hands on the 2012!!

  • Amie September 28, 2011 at 4:25 PM

    i had never really kept a diary/journal until i got the frankie 2011 diary for my birthday last year πŸ™‚ every page was so cute and happy and cheerful that i couldn't wait to jot things in it every day! would love to keep it up with the 2012 edition πŸ˜€

    great giveaway, thanks!
    xoxo

  • Cath @ chunkychooky September 28, 2011 at 4:22 PM

    I am hopeless with the keeping of a diary, I just put everything in my phone- imagine if I lost it. Much harder to loose a diary. You can't doodle on a phone either. you can't use coloured pencils either. Thanks Pip.

  • Lisa September 28, 2011 at 4:11 PM

    Oh gosh – I do so love Frankie! I have a Frankie diary for this year and it is wonderful, but I procrastinated too much about the calender and didn't end up getting one. But this year I shall! Even if I don't win (which I am quite sure that I shall not) I will buy them both! Because I love Frankie just that much ^_^ <3
