Welcome to the all new 2012 oh, hello friend design! I am so fortunate to know Ana from Blog Milk, who helped me do all the coding and make my design even possible. It is a lot of fun to design blog layouts, and I realized I've pretty much had a new design every year. Shall we take a look at all the previous oh, hello friend looks?

2008: has anyone been reading the blog for this long?
This seems like such a long time ago. My first blogging days, good times!
Loved this mint green back in the day, before I loved mustard yellow ;)

2009: Saw a complete redesign.. This is when I started "the daily"
which were daily columns and features for the blog.

2010: kept a lot of similar features, changed the logo fonts.

2011: Thought I'd get rid of the "oh" in oh, hello friend but decided I can't take away from the brand and the "oh" is back! ;)
and now we're in 2012 with a new 2-column design. I really hope you like it! I tried to simplify things (it's hard for me to simplify sometimes) but get rid of the blog clutter. There are some new links at the top of features I think is this blog's speciality: packaging/notes/vintage. One thing I did keep and have had since the original design is the "my heart" list. and you may notice a couple new "daily" buttons - I'm going to start doing weekly diy's and resources. Hope you like all the new changes!

Thought I'd also offer a little giveaway to go along with the new blog design launch. Win $50 from each of my 3 shops: the wanderlust, reverie market, and oh, hello friend for a total of $150 worth of credit! Simply leave a comment to enter with the year you started reading the blog (if you remember) For an additional entry: Tweet or post about the giveaway on facebook! (Up to 2 extra entries if you do both!) A winner will be chosen at random on Monday, January 23rd. Good luck :)























Hello! I met you at the UCLA Reggae Fest in 2011 and started reading since. Much luck in 2012!

ReplyDeleteI started reading the blog in April of 2011, right after I got engaged and saw your invitations in my real simple wedding book. Coincidently, my husband and I got married on Sept 25 2011, and I based my invitation design loosely on your spectacular ones!
ReplyDeleteNot real sure but think it was sometime in 2010 that I found you.
ReplyDeleteI love the new look! I started reading your blog in April of 2010, though this is my first comment.

Thanks for inspiring me over the last four years.

ReplyDeleteI started reading your blog last year. I heard about it from a friend and I feel in love with your style! It is super inspiring how you make a living doing what you love, and I can see how you try to glorify God in your work and just have so much fun! I'm currently trying to really figure out how God is calling me to use my gifts and your blog/stores give me a lot of inspiration! Love it!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the new design!

I don't remember when I started reading oh, hello friend, but the 2011, 2010 and 2009 designs all look familiar while the 2008 does not, so it must have been sometime in 20009.

ReplyDeleteI definitely remember starting to read this in about 2010. It's the design I most recognize from this post! It was hard to forget because I completely remember thinking I had no idea other people like packaging as much as I did. I actually dream about the room I'll use to wrap things in once I get my own house, lol!
ReplyDeleteI unfortunately am a new fan...I had only stumbled upon your blog last year. But I fell in love instantly! It's so creatively inspiring!
