Hooray For The Everyday

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.

    I've had my new IKEA catalog for a couple of weeks and have read through it cover to cover but I didn't even notice that tagline until you pointed it out. It is perfect for a layout title!
