    OPPERDEPOP!
    (it's dutch, it means something like 'it's all finished'. I find myself saying this to my 15-month-old every time he finishes eating or drinking something… so that's at least 10 times a day!)

    BTW, I lovelovelove your felt ice cream bucket thingy!

    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

    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…

  5. lili says

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

    emailbylili[at]mac.com

  8. 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. 🙂

  11. 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

    So, I can enter !!!!

    I usually say: "!qué fuerte!"(it´s heavy) when I find something surprising, os funny, or annoying or stupid, or brilliant…so, anytime!

    I do not know if the literal translation works in English…

  13. 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!

  16. Homemaker Honey says

    "Oh my dear!"

    I'm participating in the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day! I hope you have time to stop over and enter my giveaway at homemakerhoney.com

    Merry Christmas!

  17. Lee says

    thanks for the lovely giveaway. Love your blog!
    what I say everyday –
    "tomorrow is another day!" I never get enough done! thanks and happy holidays.

  20. Alison says

    I'm smiling at What the Wally, because I most often sat "What the stink!(?)" or "Aw stink!". LOL

    Love the blog Michele. 🙂

  22. Anne P says

    Thanks for the chance of a giveaway – love the decorated basket! I will say "Cool beans!" when I see something that makes me happy, then instead of Goodbye, I say "Later, alligator!". They respond back with "After a while, crocodile!". We just love to smile around here….

  23. 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…"

  25. 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!

  26. 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!

  27. 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!

  28. 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!

  30. 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!"

  31. 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

  37. 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!'

  41. 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.

  44. 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!

  45. 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!".

  46. 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!

  47. 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.

  51. Wendy says

    "Oh, for the love of Mabel!" Or if I'm feeling particularly exasperated, "Oh, for the love of Maybelline!"

    Love the bucket 🙂

  52. 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. 😀

  56. The Hungry Crafter says

    "so…here's the thing…" I dither a lot. My friends like to tease me about it… I have at least 4 'on the other hands'!

    Thanks for the link to the DIY covered buttons — VERY useful!!!

  58. 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.

  60. 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!

  68. 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!

  70. 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

  71. 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.

  76. 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!

  80. Jessica says

    I have a whole host of really dumb things I say on a daily basis? My friend's favorite is "for serious and real?" Thanks for the chance!

  82. Katie 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?"

  84. 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").

  92. Lindsey says

    oh my goodness! holy cow! oh sweet heavens!

    that's what i say a lot. 🙂 my nine year old says "there's always time for time" not sure exactly what he means by it, but he says it so much that my husband and I like to repeat it, too

  93. Jagels says

    my most frequent saying happens in preschool every day. you get what you get and you dont throw a fit. thanks for the giveaway!

  95. Melissa says

    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!

  96. 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 🙂

  98. maree says

    Well apparently I say "Wahoo" – that's according to my daughter but I dispute it!!!!!! Love the giveaway – how clever are you:) Ciao

  99. Very Verdant says

    So glad to find your blog here. It is so sweet and stock full of goodness.
    I am always saying "Oh my word" to which my silly butt kids reply "Yeah, Mom, which word is that today?" ;0)
    Gotta love the kiddos!

  103. Mrs. Darling says

    I tell my little girl 'You're a big girl, you can do it!" about 50 times every day. If its my husband, or anyone else, I frequently ask, 'honey, how hard would it be…?' the dots are usually some chore I want him to do.

    Thanks for the giveaway and I love your blog! (And your flickr!)

  108. Allisa Jacobs says

    "sometimes it happens."

    i used to say lots more fun things…but with a curious, emotional, rambunctious two year-old it's a phrase that comes in handy. for both him & me 🙂

    thank you!

  113. Smit Family NZ says

    I find my self asking "do you want …." to go to your room/naughty spot/hallway … yip, I have a wonderfully excitable 2 and 3yr olds … who i love to peices …

    onikey (at) hotmail (dot) com

  120. 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!

  122. 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.

  123. 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.

  129. 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!

  131. 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 !!!!

  134. Cami says

    what a great treasure you are giving away.. i guess lots of baby talk is coming out of my mouth.. anything to make my sweet 4 month salma smile 🙂

  136. 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.

  138. janimal says

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

    Thanks for the cool giveaway. Great prize! Now I'm off to check out your button posts!

  139. 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.

  140. 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!

    justforthis917 [at] yahoo [dot] com

  143. 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.

  145. 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??"

  147. 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!

  148. 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!

  151. Ginger says

    Oh MY GOODNESS…is my phrase. I love what you did to that icecream bucket. Beautiful. Great idea. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.

  152. 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

  153. 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.

  161. Cricket says

    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.

  162. 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!

  165. 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

  167. 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!

    kennedycraft (at) aol (dot) com

  171. Notchka says

    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

  173. 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:)

  175. 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 !!

  176. 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 🙂

  177. 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!!!!

  178. 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

    krencamp(at)gmail(dot)com

  179. Tiffany says

    holy crap! yep, not too clever, not too polite, but man… amazing how many times during the day those words do the trick. and by the way – holy crap! what a cute giveaway!

  181. 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!)

  182. Susie says

    what a cool and pretty giveaway, my words are holy smokes! sometimes holy smokes batman! glad I followed a link from Mod podge rocks blog to you!!!!

  183. 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!

  184. 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!

  186. 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

  187. 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

  188. 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 🙂

  189. 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!!

  191. 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!

  193. handmadehappiness says

    I would say that the words I say most are….. BE CAREFUL BOYS & SLOWLY SLOWLY!! my boys are 23months and 3yrs!!! it's all about damage limitation at my house!! what a fab way to host a giveaway and your first too! very good!!! plus I love buttons vintage and crochet!! a winner in my book!!

  196. 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.

  199. 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!!

  200. 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!
    Ally

  205. 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!!

  207. .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

  211. 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 🙂

  212. 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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    "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."

    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!

    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! 🙂

    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!
