getting work done at my studio and lots of snow

[@tee.bowi3]

Im so glad I am a patron, I feel like you provide a service with these beautiful videos - keeping me calm before I start work at my horrid job 😅😅

[@FranMeneses]

thank you babyyyyy

[@MegLivingInsideOut]

🙏🏻

[@awsome8118]

I love "gentle" as your word for the year. Might have to steal it for myself, and promise to be more gentle to myself and others

[@detvviller]

you should publish the "ugly" sketchbooks !!!!!!

[@meganslater5421]

I agree!! I'd love to purchase one!

[@jennifer_dean_art]

Yes!!

[@Averyoveo]

I think she does in her Patreon

[@jennifer_dean_art]

@@Averyoveo Yes, she does show them on her Patreon but we'd love to purchase them as art books as well!

[@yvonnebouwhuis9419]

thanks for the reassurances thats just watching videos is enough. I'm not in a place to contribute monthly as much as i would like to. there are so many wonderful creatures on youtube and instagram and i wish i could be able to more actively support them. i do try and make one off purchases when i can. (i got 2 of your zines and the dust bag this year!) but its really reassuring of you to say that its okay if all we can do is watch the videos.

[@AmandaBoElfving]

your videos are like a warm hug. thank you

[@kellycelina]

I was just swinging by to ur channel to rewatch some videos because i love to watch them while working and almost yelled when i saw new video, love your videos so much Fran!

[@michellemarostica9057]

I love to bring my own lunch too! At my old job, I used to pack my lunch and my coworkers always asked "How do you find the time??" haha Simple answer, I love food. Besides work, it's so fun to make and pack a lunch for picnics, car trips, a day at the beach, or for a hike. One of the best ways to treat yourself.

[@Stormy-14-]

I’m glad you rested and I’m glad you’re back👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@booksandquills]

Notion yesss! I've become very obsessed with it. I'd love to see your Notion (or places where you've found inspo). ❤️

[@FranMeneses]

[@sadielo98]

Fran, if you’re down to show us I’d love to see your animal crossing island. I got ACNH for Christmas so I’m really into it and wish people were still talking about it.

[@7books88]

Fran, I miss your "Arty" blogs so much. I'd love to see you doing some art.

[@noovernightguests]

So good to see yo face Fran. When the camera started sliding I was like what... no.... NO! The self care sheets are such a thoughtful gift to offer. Stay safe and well everyone.

[@karolaZzz]

Hola Fran! Llevo un tiempo siguiéndote en tu canal, no sabía que estabas tomando antidepresivos, pero bueno, quería decirte que eres una inspiración para mí, yo a veces también me pongo triste, temas de autoestima, ya sabes... En fin, simplemente decir que gracias a tus videos me siento con ilusión por crear mi proyecto y luchar por mis sueños. Me gusta la cercanía que transmites, y todo tu trabajo. Contigo veo que todo es posible. Un saludo muy grande desde España.

[@marylouartist]

Always so glad to see your vlogs. Cute Snowman. Wish you lived near me. Making a snowman is something we have in common. Stay Healthy and happy Fran!

[@paletteproblems3728]

Watching you clean your desk is the most satisfying way to visualize wiping 2020 off.

[@erinwaters88]

Sometimes I just play your videos in the background while I work because the music and your voice is so lovely and soothing!

[@AlexandraVicunaPerry]

Hi Fran, so happy to see this video. I wanted to say thank you 🙏 because I was having a rough year and decided to watch your videos. You kept me company, made me laugh and cry. Gracias por acompañarme en Diciembre. Cuídate muchísimo.

[@МашаРоза-т4ъ]

Thank You for a new super nice and relaxing video, Fran!!

[@primeraletra]

Me encantan tu calma, tu dulzura, tus dibujos y tu ropa :-) gracias por compartir tanto!

[@g33kthegirl]

Happy New Year, Fran! I just discovered you last year and I just wanted to let you know that your videos have really helped me with the depression and loneliness of covid lockdown. My husband ordered me some of your goodies for Christmas and opening the package made me so giddy! Thank you for bringing so much loveliness into my life! ❤️

[@alexandrasieh1397]

I just discovered your channel, and am now flying through your vlogs - I love them! As a fellow Gilmore Girl fan, devouring tofu and rocking pink hair, too ;) I hope you're well and having a great end to February!

[@leofrine_noev]

What a calming video, I am definitely also using gentle as a word for this year. ❤️

[@aldykaulitzbounarotti4602]

Me hubiera encantado poder ser parte de tu Patrón, fuiste una de las primeras youtubers que conocí y al día de hoy, te sigo viendo y disfrutando de tus videos! Gracias por todo, gracias a ti, eh vuelto a dibujar luego de la depresión que perder mí trabajo y casa, la pandemia trajo a mí vida. Suerte y cuidate mucho!

[@lidewijdevries4444]

Happy New Year, Fran! I wish you lots of love, good health, luck and inspiration!

[@petitecaotica]

[@StephyM07]

Tus videos han sido de esas cosas que me han ayudado mucho durante este año tan difícil y siempre me calman un montón. Is so nice having a reminder that it's okay to struggle and that I'm not alone in dealing with mental illnesses and other things. Hoping this year brings brighter days and wonderful things for you 💙

[@orelyt]

I missed you but I enjoy those long videos so it's worth the wait. Love X

You tried nibs! I'm so oddly excited about that XD I love using dip pen and ink so much ^^

[@nieceoliviabooktube]

Friend, thank you for sharing this quality content. Your videos are my companion as I work alone! Though I am a deep introvert, you are always a welcome presence in my space.

[@hollyhodgson7253]

I can never make it till the end before hitting "like", I always click it about a third of the way in, cause I love your videos so much! Btw I've never felt like you were plugging your patron, it's clear you're just mentioning it cause you're genuinely working on it. 🙂

[@Debbikins100]

I love being a patreon of yours, I listen to your podcasts repeatedly, especially after a bad day at work 🥰

[@mouchouaru]

I've followed you for a loooooong time on Instagram (that sounds so creepy omg) but this is actually my first time watching one of your vlogs and really, I liked it so much. It's very interesting to see how you work and the video was really cozy and soothing to watch. Thank you for offering us this lil space of peace ! ♥

[@thamires.magalhaes]

Happy New Year Fran!

[@dancingpencil2]

Love those black pants with square pattern. Look really stylish!

[@VirginiaKuranille]

Hola Fran! Me llamo Virginia y me parece ésta es la primera vez que te escribo. He estado viendo tus videos desde hace ya un tiempo y siempre me has resultado muy inspiradora no solo con tu trabajo, el cual es muy bello, sino también como persona al observar como afrontas los retos que se te presentan en la Vida. Creo que eres una persona muy luminosa y deseo que este proceso de depresión cada vez sea más ligero. Te mando un cálido abrazo digital y será un gusto continuar acompañándote en tus aventuras. Gracias por compartirte tan honestamente. :)

[@spreadbookjoy]

Gorgeous sketchbook, Notion, Gilmore Girls, tiny bento box - just yes to it all. Happy New Year, Fran!

zipper tip: put a key ring or even just a yarn loop on the zipper pull and latch it on the button to prevent zip slip. :)

[@alexdeleon1463]

Happy New Year to you too Fran! When Fran said "get my" and paused, I though to my self "shit together" 😅

[@LaMancina]

Hello Fran, looking at your vlogs make me feel like when I had penpals at primary school and I was always curious to know how they were living their life in those far far places :) thanks for your updates, they keep the heart warm & fuzzy! (I have problems with starting and finishing sketchbooks, dont' know why, but I know that feel!)

[@just1lilguy]

Wow Fran you've become soooo good at drawing patterns! I remember when you told us you'd start practicing that and LOOK AT YOUR PROGRESS 🌻

[@Emmyradrad]

[@LillySchwartz]

Uhhh, all the feels. Your animal crossing “Pretty wasteland” strategy is such a good description of what I’m trying to do with my risk group life right now 😬
