IKEA is my own personal wet dream.

I love to buy things to help me organize. Although these days, it seems nothing helps! I don't get discouraged though...I just keep buying organizational materials in hopes, one day, I will be cool and organized like the pages of Real Simple (my newfound porn).

On Saturday, Husband and I took our crew of children to IKEA. Husband had never been to IKEA so we figured it would be a good weekend to go. We are in the market for some bigger ticket items which required a lot of browsing and writing down of information so we can come back later, buy it and bring it home when we don't have a vehicle overflowing with children.

We did do some shopping though...

We bought a set of cute wine glasses as a gift for my BFF and her new house. It's beautiful!!

I bought a spice rack that holds 12 jars ~ perfect for eyelets, brads and buttons (which will be organized by color, tyvm!)

I bought four jars for my ribbon bits and one huge jar to hold all of my flowers ~ fabric, paper, whatever.

I bought a hanging toy organizer from Children's Ikea for my yarn. It's supposed to hold stuffed animals so I figure I can have it hold all of my yarn.

See, the Husband and I are creating a new office that we can both use. He has his hobbies and I have mine. When we work on them, we are in different areas of the house. Hopefully, in our new workspace, we can be in there at the same time, working on our own projects. One big item we want is a flat screen tv so we can continue to watch our favorite tv show on DVD (24) and other stuff while we work.

I envision a big, overstuffed chair in the corner of the room where I can sit and crochet while he does his thing. Or where he can sit and snore while I do mine. The bottom line is that it will enable us to spend more time together. Pretty friggin' cool concept, eh?









Until he pisses me off.

Then his shit will be sitting out in the family room and he can find his own flippin' office!!!

*wink*

I "jist kiddin'" babe...you know I love you!

The Husband got some random goodies for Father's Day. He got a 2007 Road Atlas (he plans to do some road-tripping this year). He also got two tshirts, one of which cracks me up. It's blue and says "I ♥ HOT MOMS". Good man...good man. *wink*

It's supposed to storm today (YAY!!). I'm hoping to get caught up in my PSE 5.0 class as I'm about a week and a half behind. Then I want to get at least one digi layoug done because Miki has OUTDONE herself with a GORGEOUS kit coming out soon!!

I leave you with a photo of Woodstock and Snoopy. This sits right outside of the entrance to IKEA.
