Oh Hello Friend

Say hello to Danni

 I asked her to tell us about her and her blog.
she says...

Hello, friends! My name is Danni and I run the blog: oh, hello friend. I like to think of myself as an artist, dreamer, procrastinator, crafter, and believer. I love blogging and inspiring others, and I also run a shop on etsy and really love being able to do that! I love traveling, reading a book while listening to the rain, spending time with my amazing boyfriend, searching thrift stores and flea markets, and just living life!

I came across this post/idea on her blog and just LOVED it.
I might just use the idea as inspiration for my own little web hunt.

Check out a peek post from the ever so sweet blog Oh Hello Friend

more notes:

so i hope you are not tired of notes yet! i had an idea while i was driving one night to make nick a 'web scavenger hunt note book' where i made him some small handwritten notes that contained web addresses he had to go to, in order to find the real note! i thought it was neat and would make it fun for him to find the notes on the internet. some of the web notes were images, but i did record a couple video notes too, which i probably won't be sharing cause i was super silly and i'd be embarassed ;)

this note directed nicholas to the playlist of songs i selected for him. we're talking,

lots of cheesy 'love' songs :)


this note contained "an important reminder" which had him go here
to see the picture message.

this note contained a video message!

the final message had him go here: for some cutsey images i collected
and placed on a website for him to read.

so anyway, if you want to do something like this for a friend or someone special, it's easy! to make the web notes, i used iweb and my web camera for the videos. if you have iweb + a mobileme (or .mac) account through apple, you know how easy it is to create and publish websites.

if you don't have a mac, that's okay too! you will need a place to make websites for your 'web notes' (you can try google sites.) and a web camera (if you want to include video notes)

the notes included:

- a really cheesy lovers playlist! (via playlist.com)
- 2 video notes.
- 1 picture note.
- 1 note of found images.

but get creative! create the web notes you want to include, get them organized, then create a book of notes and simply write the web addresses out on each page.

oh, the last element i used was this site, which shortens long web addresses into something like, "fly.to/thispage" so you can have a shorter URL in your written messages in the book.

Also her pretty, lovely thrifted plates. Read more about them over here.

Hope you enjoyed a bit about Oh Hello Friend
