Hooray For The Everyday
Tags:Found this great catalog in my mailbox yesterday. It wasn't really "found" because I'd requested it, but I was pretty happy to see that tagline on the cover. It's likely I'll cut it out and use it on a layout very soon.
HOORAY FOR THE EVERYDAY.
Such a good reminder. I like the word "hooray." I don't think it's used near enough.
Hooray for uncontrolled laughter in the bathtub. Hooray for small white coffee cups and crushed ice and watermelon.
Hooray for promises kept, clean lines and bagels with cream cheese.
Hooray for Harry Potter and the Wiggles and Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Hooray for cousins and sisters and grandparents who stop by and bring leftovers and sweet peas from their garden.
Hooray for eight-year-olds who can't wait to go back to school next week.
Hooray even for the things that we don't always want to shout hooray for: broken faucets, snakes in the driveway, bills, piles, deadlines, medication, appointments, dog poop on shoes, obligations, upsets, boxes, etc.
Hooray for Fridays and long weekends. I hope yours is full of lots of hoorays.
The big giveaway and the stamp membership giveaway are both open through tonight at 8pm Pacific.

Oh, hurra indeed. That's what we say here in Germany (just like anneberit in Norway), too. Sitting here at around midnight finishing preparations for our summer party in honor of our December wedding, I felt so inspired to write down my hurras of the day as well when reading your first lines … so after jotting down my own, here I am to read what you have written. Thanks for sparking this moment!

*For the possibility to sleep in (if I'm lucky) this weekend
*For 1 hour's peace & quiet at lunch today
*For 2 books (I hope) to read this weekend
*For delicious, swirling thoughts of creativity cooking up in my brain after a long dry patch of DUH

I love the red that Ikea does. It is a special Ikea red, I think :)
Ali, are you going to order anything from the catalogue?

I'm actually hoping to make a trip to the nearest store (2 hours away from me) soon. I need a few things for my office.

I love your blog Ali (recently found) - it has made me all inspired to scrapbook more seriously, so hooray for that.
Hooray for IKEA - i love them ... when we moved here from England a few years back, my husband and I were seriously homesick, did not know anyone here. I found out that there is an IKEA not tooo far from us and we drove all the way there just to sit and drink their coffee and eat meatballs and cranberry sauce with fries, and the dishes were the same as in the UK and the people did not look too different either and we thought - we can do this - it was the first time we had felt a touch of home in a new country - silly as it sounds it helped!
Hooray for a big boy playing Playmobil all day while i packed for a weekend at the beach.
Hooray for 1 year old who melts hearts and wears her shiny bead necklaces even in the bath.
Hooray for nearly-fall and long weekends and wine and the beach and sandy feet and yes, to that hurricane being downgraded.
Have a fab weekend everyone.
