.. where Ikea assembles a cupboard

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

nice to see u here again! so, thanks for coming by! i was just about to tell everyone how it went after we had got back from Ikea and ended up with a small box of something. apparently, it was a LARGE cupboard!! quite mysterious actually, how it fit in such a small box..

so, as i was saying last time, i was to go and discover how it is to assemble something, like a cupboard for example! it is all good fun, i can tell u! although i have to say that assembling is not something giraffes, like me, are really good at naturally. so, it took me a little bit of time to understand what it was in the box:

so, here’s me reading the manual. not too many fotografs in this manual, i’m afraid. but there are drawings!! so, that’s actually very helpful. especially later on, when i started assembling. also good thing is that there are steps, like 1-2-3 and so on. and not too many words. no words actually at all, i think. but the drawings are great, so that even giraffes can understand!

finally, after reading the manual, it was quite obvious this pile of wood is going to end up a very nice cupboard. so, with all this great information, it was time for some fun assembling!

first of all, as u can see, the screws! (and bunch of other stuff too). i must say that without the manual, there was no way to figure out what goes where. so manuals are great.
and also, let me give u a hint: keep your manual in a safe place when assembling! because when i was not looking, Saab almost ate half a page! luckily it was a page that i had already read.. and i caught him munching before he could eat the rest of it! so it was pretty close call, actually.

also, u know, if you have teddies at home who like to eat stuff, it is good to have something to trade with. moose, for example, are great in situations like these.
so this is about where i was just before the eating incident:

and this is about one, two or maybe three hours later:

i don’t know exactly because i don’t carry a watch u know. i have to tell u that it was already getting a bit dark outside, so maybe it was three hours later. or four even. not more than six hours, that’s for sure. so, it’s almost done, just a one more drawer to fix. almost through with the manual!!

so, there was lots of fun celebration just moments after this fotograf. because the cupboard was all assembled!! so no fotografs from that. but u will see this new place we discovered right afterwards! (it’s the drawers) u know, it seems to me that these are great for hiding! pst, i think Angel thinks it’s only him that knows this. So, next time we’ll be playing hide-and-seek, i think i know where Angel will be hiding, hehe!

i have to say, very much fun things that they have in this shop, Ikea, don’t u think? so, what about you, what’s the most fun thing that u have assembled so far? let me know!! until then, have fun and cu l8r!

spot the giraffe (game)

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

it seems to me that with all this autumn here, the life of giraffes (like me) has suddenly been getting really busy. and i can’t tell you right now what it is that i am doing, because it is a secret!

however, like i said last time, i have set up a little game in facebook that is called “spot the giraffe“! and right now it is me, Ikea! here’s the latest fotograf:

and here’s the link for playing: http://on.fb.me/cjbSGl !! well, i guess it is not the latest _fotograf_, but it is the latest from the ones that are uploaded in the game, u know. i had totally forgotten that i even have this fotograf. but it’s a giraffe thing, i’m afraid. but i gotta run now, so have fun playing and cu l8er!

.. where Ikea plays hide-and-seek in Kadriorg

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!
u know, it seems to me that the autumn is here! in fact, it is quite obvious, because all leaves are not on the trees as usual, but on the ground! also, i have to point out that the leaves are no longer green. instead – they are ORANGE, my favorite colour! so, last weekend, i quickly persuaded Angel to conduct our bi-weekly hide-and-seek game in our park, Kadriorg. as it so happens, i took some fotografs!

..unfortunately, not from Angel. and u know why? because, we quickly learned that we can only play half of the game this time (and leave the other for later, when there is also snow).. for obvious reasons – it is totally easy to spot a great white Ice-bear in the orange leaves!!! so, we made a deal that this time, i will play “hide” and he will play “seek”. and we will switch next time, when the snow is here. it seems a fair enough deal to me. but of course, lots of fun, if u are an orange-yellow giraffe, like me, in the leaves:

i guess not so easy to find, i’m afraid! i have to say, it took Angel quite some time to spot me in these leaves. in fact, in this very spot, it took so long time for Angel to find me that it was already getting dark!!

as he later told me, he finally found me because of my white eyes. of course i didn’t tell him that earlier i had covered my eyes with a large maple leaf, hehe! but i didn’t want to stay in the park forever, so i removed it.
so, as it turns out, leaves can be a lot of fun also when they are not on the tree, don’t you think? either way, i have more fotografs of me hiding and my friend Sipsik gave me a great idea that you all could also try to find me – as it is not so easy! so, i will go and find some more fotografs from my game with Angel and then i will upload them on my Facebook photos for a little giraffe-spotting fun! (but it may take a little while, so check back later!) also, let me know any other good fun things to do with all these leaves- in comments! have fun and cu l8er!
