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 :)























Hi! I started reading your blog in 2009 and always keep coming back!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog since 2009! Gosh, I can't believe it's been so long, but it's been really lovely seeing your blog grow and evolve :)

I started reading in 2011. I love this blog and all of your shops :) I get a lot of inspiration from your blog!
ReplyDeleteStarted in 2011! Oh happy day!
ReplyDeleteI just started reading your blog at the end of 2011, so very recently. I really love everything about it, but most especially your design skills and taste. In fact, I got very inspired to revamp my blog's template partly just because I came across yours and loved the style. It seems that every template you've had has been beautiful in their own ways.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have found you. <3
four years going strong! haha, started in 2008 and have kept it bookmarked ever since. :) Love the new layout.
ReplyDeleteThe new design looks fantastic, as always! I wish I had your skills ;-)
ReplyDeleteI started reading in 2010.

ReplyDeleteI started reading back in 2010! Not sure exactly how I found you, but I'm glad I did! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I started reading around this time last year. I am always eager to see a new post. I love your design aesthetic, and I am so glad you are brave enough to share about your faith as well...and the new design is fresh and fabulous!
ReplyDeleteoh wow. what a great giveaway! I started reading in 2009! What a great year, I've loved your layout EVERY year!

ReplyDeleteI love the new design! I found your blog in late 2009, but I started reading it regularly in 2010. I always find such great inspiration here and I love all of your shops!
ReplyDeleteHave to admit that I'm completely new to oh, hello friend! (I followed a link from a Real Simple piece about a wedding invite you had done) so I guess that means I started reading in 2012. I may be new, but I'm really loving all of your work and hope that I can get picked for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Carol S.
I think it was 09 but the 08 logo looks familiar, too!
ReplyDeleteit's lovely! I remember when you unveiled the new look in 2010, so I have been a reader at least since then 8^)

ReplyDeleteYes! I definitely remember the 2008 look! I just can't believe it was that long ago. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteI remember the 2008 design and I am pretty sure that is when I started reading your blog - it has been one of my favourites ever since! Your design style is perfection and I am totally swooning over your new blog favour!

ReplyDeleteI love Oh, hello friend! I believe I can trace my reading back to 2009, but so much prettiness is overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteyes hello!!! thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteI started last year. :) I actually say "Hello, friend" to my friends, so I have to read it.
ReplyDeleteI started reading the year you got engaged, not for craft reasons, but because my friend showed me the post about your husband's handmade engagement ring-- and mentioned that you're fellow Christians. We'd browsed your shop when our school hosted vendor fairs, but I hadn't discovered your blog. I liked the links on the side for Compassion, conflict-free diamonds, etc., but now I love the whole thing. Blessings to you!

We'd browsed your shop when my school hosted vendor fairs, but I hadn't discovered your blog. I liked the links on the side for Compassion, conflict-free jewels, etc., but now I think the whole thing is wonderful. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteI started reading in 2010, and it's been my go-to inspiration tab ever since :)
