24 Merry Days / $150 to Little Low Studio:

Hi Friends! Sorry I've been MIA here at the blog. I am back and excited to share a lovely giveaway with you from Little Low Studio, brought to you by 24 Merry Days!

This is my favorite card and we actually can never keep it stocked because it sells out so quickly!

There are so many fun items from Little Low Studio like Cards, Prints, Home Decor, & Recipe Boxes, so be sure to head over to the shop and figure out what you'll spend your $150 on if you win ;) Good luck!

Oh, and be sure to check out the 24 Merry Days website, just a little over half of the giveaways have been announced but there are still 10 more giveaways with some amazing prizes!

Book of Notes Giveaway:

I thought it'd be fun to do a little giveaway for a book of notes! In the 5 years I've had this blog, I have never done a giveaway for a book of notes, although I've thought about doing one for a while! So today you have a chance to win a book of  notes, made by me! This book of notes will be filled with lots of little surprises, don't want to give too much away.    There will be 2 lucky winners and we'll also give away a book of  notes kits as well to 2 more winners. You can choose if you'd like to receive your book of notes filled out or blank, so you can fill it out and send it on to someone else. (it'll still come with all the little gifts)   To enter, simply leave a comment with why you love notes .. either sending or receiving notes. Giveaway ends on April 1st. For an extra chance to win, post a photo on instagram and be sure to tag @ohhellofriend + include hashtag #ohfbookofnotes :)


I didn't want to give too much away but the book will be filled with lots of your favorite oh hello friend surprises :)

Hi Friends! I am really excited to share with you 24 Merry Days - a fabulous idea brought to reality by Audrey of The Little Street. It's a group of 24 bloggers that will post 1 giveaway on their designated day. So you have to do a little blog-hop to all the blogs to see the different giveaways - what a great way for us to discover new blogs too! My giveaway is on Christmas Eve, the 24th. The prizes are legit, I can't say what they are because you'll just have to visit each blog on their designated day but trust me, I would love to win one of everything ;)  Be sure to follow along the beautifully designed 24 Merry Days site, it is easy to navigate and tells you what you can win and gives you a link directly to what blog you can win the prize at! You can follow along all the tweets too to see the status of all the giveaways posted daily - #24MerryDays

So far there have been 3 giveaways since we are on December 3rd. Day #1 was a giveaway at 79 ideas for a $350 gift certificate to Kirribilla! Day #2 over at fellow fellow is for a screen printed city map from Famille Summerbelle. and today's giveaway at Sugar and Cloth is for 2 super cute items - a set of pom cake toppers and a cloud bracelet. Just catching you up ;) Be sure to follow along each day! To enter, simply visit each blog to see how to enter - it's typically just a comment-to-enter! Hope you win something good!
