Het Kabinet says
OPPERDEPOP!

BTW, I lovelovelove your felt ice cream bucket thingy!

Crafty Gardener says
Good morning, one of my favourite sayings at school is "If it isn't messy, it isn't fun!" and we certainly have lots of fun.
Mad About Pink says
Dear Michele,
what a lovely giveaway, I adore the bucket. Lately what I say more often is: Don't touch please. MY son is in that age where anything wrong is right for him.
Thanks a lot,
Jess

BubzRugz says
Haha – trust me to be the first…… I think my family will remember me for saying "If you are going to do a job do it properly – even if it is a cup of tea…."
You've done such a lot in a short space of time and always fun to read…

lili says
Hmm, my most-used saying is probably "can has" (as in cheezburger), but I love the saying "Ye gods and little fishes!"

Krysik says
In Russian it is "ёлки-палки", in English something like "tree-sticks"
krysikya@yandex.ru
make it perfect says
lovely giveaway!
we always say "what the wally" instead of "what the heck" at home – so cute when the kids say it!!
Amy says
I think I probably say "Kids!!!!" most often. And then there is silence. And I call "Kids!!!!!" again. Silence. Then I start to hunt them down and ask why they don't respond. 🙂
Juliet A says
I give a lot of unsolicited advice, followed by the words "I'm just sayin'".
Notjustnat says
I would say "oh how nice" many times in a day. I hope I can be in your giveaway – Thanks Michele, how nice of you – Hugs Nat
Kirie says
I will try my luck 🙂 Thanks for th giveaway! I think that the words that I say most often during the day is 'go away'… that's for my two cats which simply looove to go in the places where they can't (behind the washing maschine, climbing on book shelves, sitting on an old TV…)…
I also have a giveaway on my blog if you like to visit 🙂
Best regards
Kirie

Lesly says
Hmm, what do I say all the time? I think it would have to be "okey dokey". Oh boy, that's sounds so dorky – time to change up my vocabulary! Lol! It's fun to see what other people say! Thanks for the chance at your luscious loot, Michele!
Heather says
I think my favorite saying is "oh my goodness", because now my 2 year old says it all the time 🙂

Saraccino says
Mh… it's difficult… If the most often used would count it also belongs to my cats and it is the single word: No! And my cats are trained, they know what they are allowed and what not ^^ Nevertheless they try to make a lot of mischief and if I say they word, they will immediatly start cleaning themself (if that was all the indented to do) and look at me with such innocence.
But in normal conversations (such you have with other people or yourself ;))… it is with variations: "That's the question…"
Michele says
My favorite saying is "Be good." I have kids, so I use it alot!
Sherry Edwards says
Mine is probably 'What a joke' – meaning quite the opposite, when something annoys me or I can't quite believe what I'm hearing or seeing – usually things on the news unfortunately!
Fantastic giveaway – thanks for the chance!
Lynne says
So cute!My favorite saying this week has to be "don't touch the Christmas tree!" I have a one year old. Enough said! Thanks for the great giveaway!
CupCakeCutie says
probably "WHAT"S GOING ON!" or "OH GOOSE!" come out of my mouth most often as I wrangle my two kids. *The youngest being nick named goose.* Great giveaway!
Courtney Elizabeth says
I say "seriously?!?!" a lot because my boyfriend likes to say and do silly, ridiculous things to make me laugh. It's very welcome since I'm uber stressed out because of finals!
Cindy says
Okey Dokey, will do! My most said words and it's a habit I'm trying to change. Love your blog and what a great give away.
Vicki says
I'm trying to get my little girl to say "Holy Moly" instead of, well, something else that's not so nice. I've been playing Abduction on my phone and when I miss I've been saying "Phooey!"
Jingle says
Hmmm…that would either be 'For reals.' or 'Just Say'n.' It's a toss up as to which one comes out most often! LOL! I absolutely LOVE this felt tub and everything else, too!!!!
jinglesells at gmail dot com
Bobbie Mackey says
"SERIOUSLY?"

Papgena Made It says
That's a lovely giveaway, thanks for the chance!!
What I say everyday, everytime?
'Deus me dê paciência e um paninho bem grande para a embrulhar de umas vezes para as outras'!
In english should go something like this:
God give me patience and a large fabric to wrap it and last a few times!'

Not too interesting, I know.
Michelle L. says
What a genius idea for a giveaway! Not only a chance at the WONDERFUL Michele-made objets, but a great read through all the comments. I often let fly with "Fiddle dee dee, I'm not going to worry about that today!" Hope I win, but if I don't, now you know what I will say.
Jessi says
We are from Kingston too 🙂
I find myself saying OMG all the time… and then my four year old said so time to stop!
http://commonthreadskingston.blogspot.com/
momma b says
i have a 9 month old boy so i say "oh you're stinky" alot.
Anna says
I probably say "it's raining" the most with "is it raining?" second. I recently moved to Western Washington from Southern California. I'm not used to this much rain. The giveaway items look great!
Poppyprint says
What a delicious (calorie free) giveaway in an ice cream container. You are so, so clever. I wish I had something profound to share, but the thing I say most is "have a great day!".
Lise says
I don't hear myself saying it that much, but I hear it come out of the kids' mouths all the time, so I must; being a Jersey Girl, I say "you guys" (meaning both girls and guys). Thanks for the chance at this great collection of goodies!
Leigh says
Unfortunately I think it's probably, "Lizzie, please stop that!" She's 3, what can I say? But aside from that, I think it's, "What the WHAT?" a la Liz Lemon on 30 Rock.
gill says
My children are in their teens so it tends to be along the lines of "will you turn that racket down" !!
Sharon says
i NEVER repeat myself 😉 … yeah right! probably something like — "hi there"
Teddi says
"I'm not gonna lie to you"…this giveaway is perfect! So many fun things!
Wendy says
"Oh, for the love of Mabel!" Or if I'm feeling particularly exasperated, "Oh, for the love of Maybelline!"
Love the bucket 🙂
Violet says
Seriously I randomly say "If we don't starburst the drazz out of here…"
Ummm yeah sci fi nerd. It takes the edge off of random worries though for sure with the silliness. 😀
nellana says
Hmm I am not sure probably "D___ (fill in with daughters name) go play no you can't watch more tv!
bluebellbunny says
Not very exciting but I do say it MANY times a day…..GOOD GRIEF!!! Thatcraftybunny(at)gmail(dot)com 😉 x
M E F says

Tabitha says
Awesome Possum. How dorky is that!!!
Mari says
"How Random" I've been experiencing alot of randomness lately that all seem to tie in together. It's awesome. Thx for sharing your lovely giveaway goodies.
Heather says
"Ummmmm…seiously?!" and "ya know?" – Fun giveaway!
Micmacker says
It's a tie between "Seriously?" and "Dang!", both of which sound pretty stupid now that I've written them down…but you're missing out on my charming delivery! Your giveaway is super, super sweet – happy holidays!
endless13 says
We have the same name 😉 Anyhow my fav saying is (unfortunately): "Bloody hell!" Great giveaway. Thanks!

Stop! Stop! Stop! (Chasing my toddler around my aunts house where we live…. oy) Awesome give away!
Lael says
"Come in, Cinnamon" I have kids that are crawling into my bed on these cold days of winter. I say it alot.
c'est moi! heather at whimsy dot blog says
oh my what do i say a couple of times a day? (i didn't mean for that to rhyme but it turned out rather clever, didn't it?) well 3 sons (sigh) and two of them quite young, i end up saying things like ""aaarrrrgggggggggghhhhh", "ooska, ooska" (my own word because often times they leave me speechless), and "for holy sake". when i am frustrated or perplexed by an adult i usually end up with "really???" under my breath. cheers!
Denise S. says
You've got to be kidding,thanks for the giveaway!
Marie says
hmm….my favorite saying or rather, WHAT i've been saying lately is, "put some pants on!" i'm 6 and a half months preggo with my first, and am hot all the time! my husband always wants to turn the heat up, but he walks around in shorts and tees when we're bumming around the house, so i always yell to him, "PUT SOME PANTS ON!" (followed by, when you're pregnant, then YOU can touch the thermostat!) LOVE HIM 🙂 marie5k@yahoo.com
kessilari says
HAPPY PANDA!!! I love the buttons!
So yeah, -emotion- Panda seems to be what comes out of my mouth a lot. It seems to pop out of my mouth instead of other things. Y'know, "we can't do this" makes me go "sad panda", one of those awkward silences brings forth "awkward panda"…you get the gist.

Stacy says
I have lots of sayings but as I have a five year old right now it's – you get what you get and you don't throw a fit.

sandangels1945@hotmail.com
Suz says
Hi love the give away Michele
'NOOOOOO!' at the top of my voice whilst running after 2 or more cats….or may be it's 'Mr.T WILL YOU behave!' devil cat is always chasing the other three…poor loves…lol
The screams are beginning to work though….he's taken to chasing them but stopping at the bottom of the stairs to see if l'm in the chase too…mean while and it's usually Brupbrup or Splodge's head appears through the stair rails to see if he/we are still in pursuit!
Fun game hey!
Jodie says
The thing I say the most is very Australian and that is "it's all good" 🙂
Denise says

Love the ice cream bucket! I don't think it's my favorite saying, but what I find myself saying (or asking) all the time is, "Does that make sense?"
EricandWendi says

Rachel says
I'm not sure I have a saying. And if I do, it's probably not fit to print here because it would be something I'd say while driving (and the air in the car would be "blue").
Elizabeth says
Frick!

I exclaim, "Oscar, nooooooo," with annoying regularity. Oscar is my most recent rescue and he is very persistent in his misbehaviors. Most recently, his favorite activity is removing the ornaments from the tree- one by one:)
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
everyday inspirations says
What a fun question to answer…my million times a day response is, "Get outta town!" I say it when I'm surprised at something. Not sure where I picked this one up from, but it's better than when I used to say "Shut up!" Elaine-style from the show Seinfeld.
Thanks for the chance! Love your creations 🙂

Ammie says
Woohoo! This is a gorgeous giveaway stash. I love embroidering, and your little tin is LOVELY. Thanks for the chance to win!
I try to say to my little Stinker Bug, "That looks fun. Are you liking (eating your food, building a tower, coloring a picture, etc.)?" instead of praising him. This is very hard for me, but I am often successful! I also call him mean nicknames, like Stinker Bug!
liberal sprinkles says
I say lots of "oh really" and "wow". I'm always amazed at things, people, happenings.
Dresden Quilter says
Sorry for being such a bad influence! 😉 I did read this yesterday, and I have been driving myself crazy trying to come with an answer. I might say, On y va, when I am trying to get the kids ready in the morning and Yes, I have a surprise for you, after coming home from work at night.
Dianna Townsend says
My most used statement is "For Crying In A Bucket" My grandmother said it along with many others I have adopted over the years. She is gone now but she lives on through my own conversation. She could not have given me a greater gift. Than her Nanaisms. Thanks for the great giveaway.

jeezopete, I did it again.
PEACHES says
WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
…is anexpression I would use to describe this post, and just about everything else on your site. I use it a lot. Probably too much. I can't help it. Those are the words that cross my mind ALL THE TIME.
Hmmm…..a seasonal expression that I have been reminded of, rather frequently, is "When snow lies on the ground, it's waiting for more." ….which appears to be very, very true these days.
Can't wait to see who wins!
Katherine says
HOLY HANNAH BATMAN…I have no idea where I came up with that one, but it just falls from my lips all the time. I love your blog and the things you do! So much inspiration! Bourrka@live.ca
Mascottblog says
Very interesting ! I am learning still ! …. Well, that's it ! It is what I say a lot at tthe moment , either in French: j 'apprends …. Or in English ! It is at the same time an alibi , an excuse, an aim , a phlilosophy of life , j 'apprends , you gotta learn , keep on learning … And also maybe because I think about this singular picture where you have the word : teach , and its reflection is : learn …I love your games , Michèle , you can show that us girls can speak chiffon AND philosophy at the same time , and language … I have enriched mine here !!!!
Sarah says
"Oh my."
lol- I guess I am surprised a lot.
craighead gal says
When my one of my grandsons sneeze, I say, "Scat, cat, go catch a rat!"

baukje says
My husband says that I ask hundreds of time a day:is there news.
Kimberly says
Most commonly: "Ezra Mark, you know better than that!!" because I have an almost three year old. 🙂 lol
but otherwise it would probably be "whoopsy doopsy" which isn't really even an actual saying. I'm just weird and like to make stuff up.
Jessica says
"grumpy boots" – about my 6 month old. not sure where we picked it up from.
lovely giveaway, thanks!

Oh man, I think I say "okey dokey" entirely too much!

Kathy H says
my expression is, Find joy in the simple things and you will always be happy. I even put it on some of my kids' quilts. Merry Christmas.
Mindy says
I OFTEN say, "Oh my sakes!" I don't know how I came up with it, but I say it as a response to many things around our house! I'd love to bring back, "Heaven's to Mergatroid!" I'm sure my 5-yr-old would be SO confused.
Love those threads, by the way! Thanks for the chance to win!

Carpenters says
"For Pete's sake!" I have no idea why, but apparently I do say it a lot because my daughter has now picked up on it. Maybe I'll peruse the other comments for a better one. Thanks so much for the giveaway.
The Branch Family says
Hmmm…that's a hard one. I think that it would have to be "Just a minute…" as I have 6 children and they have to take turns having my attention.
Shana says
well, since I have a 3 yr old son the thing I say most is "Blaze please don't touch that." But my everyday saying is "Ya' think??"
dianne says
I tend to say the word crap a lot which is not exactly what I am thinking at the time, something worse.

Caren says
"Criminitly!" I picked that one up from Disney's Robin Hood. That's when I'm having an impatient and overwhelming day. My kids have a tendency to repeat themselves over and over and over, so on the normal days, my phrase is "STOP CHANTING!!!"
By the way, do you do your own photography? It's really really good! I can't wait until I have a bit more time (after the kids go to sleep) to peruse your blog a bit more!
Denise says
I don't have a catch phrase (at least, I don't think I do… maybe I should ask someone else). I do tell everyone "I love you" all the time though, so I'm picking that one. Thanks for the giveaway!
Patty D from NC says
thanks for the giveaway! what is my favorite saying? probably when one of my kids calls me a 'best mom'. happy holidays

Charlotte says
I think my most frequent saying right now is also child related and is along the lines of "Alex (or Oliver) NO!".
I'm trying harder to use more positive language
Dusty says
Great giveaway!
For some reason, the saying that comes out of my mouth the most is "sounds like a plan, Oso." I have no idea why I started it, but it makes my kids laugh so I keep using it.
overthetoporiginals says
'Whatever'
Thanks for a chance to win:)
Happy holidays

The thing I say most is probably "okay, here are your two choices…". Other strong contenders are "Yaaaar" (like a pirate) and "Oh for goodness sake!" (like Tasha from the Backyardigans) Can you tell I have littles? Used to be the first thing out of my mouth was "Oh for f***s sake!"
BTW, reading all these comments cracks me up.
Desiree says
Haha. I love the way you are having us enter.
the most common phrase right now is: "no touching"… while looking at my 21 month old who should know not to touch things that are not hers.
Thank you for the chance to win!

Sarah says
I say "really?" and "seriously?" far too often (and sarcastically) according to the people in my house…lol.
StephanieS says
I say "Oh my gosh." a lot. I do say "shoot" too. I call my dog "Pook" even though his name is Milo. And sometimes when my son gets really hurt or something like that that makes me feel bad for him I will call him "Pook" too. It's weird. Thanks for the chance to win. Happy Christmas. stephspitzer at gmail dot com
Angela D. says
"are you kidding me?" or "seriously?" I seem to say that a lot. Thanks!
Claire says
"Fair enough" when I'm at work, "Sweetieeeeeeeeeee" at home while I chase my daughter around and try to remain calm. She is so quick!

Hi ya. I really like your blog. I have a 2 year old who is a parrot – so if she is anything to go by I say "oh pickles" and "Okey Dokey" a whole lot. Thanks for the giveaway, please count me in

Quilt n Queen says
I think my grandkids can get this one….."TOO CUTE, You are just too cute". Lovely giveaway… I would be a happy winner if it found it way to my house. Thanks for the chance to win:)
adriane says
Oh my gosh, it drives my husband crazy when I say, "Ay Chihuahua"! He's like "no, you are not a chihuahua"! Pretty funny for all.
quilthexle says
That's a hard one – at least for me, as I'm German and so my mother tongue is – German ;-)) But DH and me tend to say "… with an improved opinion of himself" (in English!) quite often. It comes from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", and we both love this saying ;-))
Thanks for this great giveaway, and THANKS for a wonderful, cool blog !!
Theresa says
You get what you get and you don't get upset – must say it 100 times a day 🙂 Love your blog – beautiful creations. Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win 🙂
CMEH says
My favorite saying is "You know I love you more than my luggage" from the move Steel Magnolias! It can be used at lots of time and in lots of situations and I find it popping out of my mouth often. Thanks for a great giveaway!!!!
K@ren says
Haha! That's a dangerous question! I say "flustercluck" a LOT. "Isn't that just a giant flustercluck!"… it is usually accompanied with a lot of seam ripping. … and tequila.. 😉
Thanks for a great giveaway! All the best to you and yours this season and always. xox

Rescued Goods says
I have so so many-love sayings! Some of my favs are Awesome! Party On! Rock On! What's happenin? Just Chillin! and often, for the kids, Welcome to my World! I could go on and on and on…. Also, I am so funny! (I am kind of sarcastic!)
Susie says

Holly says
You'll find me saying something like "No Zach" most often (to my 3 year old) but it's not my favorite! This time of year, I'm reminded of one of my favorite movie quotes, from White Christmas, "Well I never. Without so much as a kiss my foot or have an apple!" And I *love* your boys' GPS idea. Wonderful creativity!
Jenny says
wow, your half moon quilted scarf is gorgeous! will need to check out the tutorial…in fact, will need to add you to my reader, too many good things here to forget out! i love your felt work! ok, what comes out of my mouth…i sure hope it's not "because I said so"…in fact, im pretty sure i say "i love you" to the kids many more times…its like a contest with us…and it never gets old. thanks!
Crystal Hendrix says
Putting me on the spot with a saying!! 😀 Maybe LOL is what I type the most and :D, but maybe oh crap. Or Goodness gracious.
I am having a giveaway too, so if you have time feel free to stop by! http://hendrixville.blogspot.com/
Shirley says
I'm alone more often than not and I don't usually talk outloud to myself so I don't have a favourite saying! When my son is home it's probably 'what would you like to eat?' haha
Marmalade says
We call people "pomplemousse" (french for grapefruit) as like an insult without insulting them, i.e. "move your car, pomplemousse!" is our version of roadrage
Speckled Kat says
Just stumbled across your blog today, and I LOVE it. 'LOVE' is a word I use a lot, I've got 2 kids at home and a great hubby. 'SWEETHEART' is said to my daughter a lot. 'BUDDY' is what I call my son, and 'BABE' is what I call the hubby. I use those 4 words quite a lot in a day. The most used phrase has got to be "Ain't that the way" it's from a song by Devon Sproule and I use it to refer to everything ironic…funny because I never use the word 'ain't' otherwise 🙂
Joanna says
I say so many things over and over – such is the life of a SAHM!! I think I overuse, "You have got to be kidding me"!! I catch myself saying it all the time and cringe!!
Anna says
1flatlakegirl@gmail.com
Right now its the obnoxious (REALLY)or (WHATS UP BUTTERCUP?)or POP-A-SQUAT>>bathroom terminology!! uhuhmmm
Megan says
hmmm I can't think of a favorite phrase. But our friend's 4 year old randomly said "Offen mine shoes" one day, like she's german or something (she's not). So occasionally we say that when we take off our shoes! haha
Love the giveaway! Thanks!
Carol in E TN says
Ain't nothin' simple! I can't count how many times I say that, and it's the truth! Thanks for your giveaway.
handmadehappiness says

Lora says
"Seriously." "This is driving me insane."
I think I mainly say those fighting the traffic to and from work, but they can pop up any time of day. =)
Thank you so much for the giveaway. It was very generous of you.
BillieBee (billiemick) says
I'm afraid my oldest Granddaughter watched a lot of Dora. Now the whole family goes around saying Ohhhhhhhhh Mannnnnnnnnn!
Cammie says
"Uh, oh, so sad…" and "That was a good choice."

Claire says
it's not my favorite quote, but I most say it alot, since the kids (5 & 3) are repeating it…."what the hell?!?!?" i use this when I can't find something..something not working..or the mess that the kids just made after I just cleaned up.
Thanks for the great giveaway!!
allysonadeney says
Well, my kids say it is
"Ahhh my house is sooo messy"
I do say that a lot!
A lovely collection of treats. Upcycling, buttons, embroidery and lace. A girl after my own heart!. I hope my saying isn't your favourite too!

Chiska says
"The Thing is" And I didn't even know I say it all the time until it popped out of my little boy's mouth one day.
Annie says
Jimmeny Cricket!! 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win. Everything looks too fun!
Kissthis says
I think the most common (not rude one) is "excuse the mess" as someone walks into my crafting area!
tinabarbour says
"For the LOVE OF COOKIES!!" I've been trying to turn frustrating moments into humorous ones :o)
Fine Lines says
At school I am always saying, "That's Wonderful!!!" That is what I am saying about your blog. I just discovered it and my fingers are itching to start one of your projects!!
AlwaysInspired says
I tend to have a potty mouth, but when I'm in a place it just isn't appropriate I say "good grief!"
.hil. says
I'm a waitress so I feel like I say 'No problem' a lot when people ask for extra things…. other than that I don't think I have a saying
Thanks for the fun giveaway! the.ant.hil(at)gmail(dot)com
Just One More Thing says
Nice giveaway — I like it all!! My favorite saying is "I can make that." Mostly when I kno I can't.
Meghan says
I probably say,"Are you serious?" most often. Great giveaway!
Robyn says
I make the sound "Pshhhh" all the time. Thanks for the giveaway! Robyn (dot) Geddes (at) gmail (dot) com
Julia says
It's a bit simple really, but I say to my daughter (who's almost 4) 'What's up Floss?' – her name is not Floss or anything like that so I'm not sure why I say it, I used to call all the girls in my classroom when teaching Floss too. Odd some of the things people get into a habit of saying! Thanks for the chance to enter 🙂
Ms Muffin says
I guess at the moment that would be
"No, stop that RIGHT NOW!"
Or something similar to this in German. I have a VERY active 1year old who is really pushing it … climbing on everything, taking away everything, eating everything …. Oh well …
I love love love your buttons! They even made me stalk you. 😉 Will check out your tutorials!
Thanks for this great giveaway!
Come by my blog and enter mine if you want to! You could win some handmade
buttons! 🙂
Love

OH I just love everything you've created for your giveaway prize Michelle not that I had any doubt I wouldn't! Those crocheted bobble thingys have really got my creative juices going and Iknow just what I would do with them so if I don't win you will just have to tell me how to make some! One of the sayings that rolls of my tongue is "Liar Liar pants on fire". Just love that one!
elana says
i find myself saying 'nards' courtesy of 30 rock a lot!
Dreaming Monet says
i say 'oh my GOODness' a lot. my father-in-law says 'holy mackerel' and i have to say, one of the funniest things ever is hearing my two-year-old daughter say 'holy mackerel' because granddad says it.
thanks for the chance to win – these are awesome prizes. my email is linked to in my profile. thank you!
Crissy says
I say "oh no" alot…or "RILEY!" I say those…way too many times each day.

the saying that comes out of my mouth with almost every sentence is "you know"
thanks for such a great giveaway
woolybooger says
Typing this looks kinda stupid but I say "Holy Cow Batman!" way too much! 🙂
Jaracz Family says
Great giveaway! The thing I say most right now every day is "no no no". I'm home with a 1 year old.
by Daisy says
english is not my language and it would be hard to translate what i say a lot. but i like the expresion "oopsie daisies" so i guess i would use that a lot if it didn't sound ridiculous for other people to listen to me saying it.

Lee says
Lately I think my most-repeated phrase is "The purpose of vacuuming is to have a clean floor!" j-j-s[at]juno[dot]com
Melissa says
"I am seriously tired."
I get out of bed in the morning and I say "I am seriously tired."
I will be trucking along through my day and I hit a wall and say to myself "I am seriously tired."
I go to bed "seriously tired."
🙂
crazyestonian says
I love the little button box! Almost makes me wish I ate ice cream, lol.
My most common saying is "really, badger Eduard". It is a quote from a book and refers to a bear who was so forgetful that he forgot that he was a bear and thought he was a badger. Any time something silly happens, this is the first thing out of my mouth.
Thanks for a lovely giveaway!
Anne says
"What did I just tell you?" That's depressing…thanks for making me notice that. Lovely giveaway!
Macska says
What a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to be in to win it. 🙂
"Hey, chicky!" For some reason, I've started greeting a lot of my female friends with this. I'm not sure why. They don't seem to mind, however! 🙂
Edie says
Jillibeanes! That is not a chew toy! (said in an exasperated tone to my 6 month old Jack Russell Terror (tm!)

Hands down . . . "You're killin' me Smalls" quote from the movie Sandlot.
Most excellent giveaway!

Kat says
I fear that the thing I say most often is "yeah, but…". I think it's a grad school thing. Everyone is disagreeing (in a nice way!) and overanalyzing!
Thank you for such a beautiful giveaway and happy holidays!
