I was so happy when an IKEA store popped up not far from home. The furniture is not really my style, but I LOVE the kitchen department and the housewares section. My favorite color is red, and when I saw these storage bins I knew I had found my craft room storage solution. I ended up getting 6 of these in 3 different sizes.
These hold my cd's and software. The larger ones hold my genealogy and music.

Then I found these magazine holders to match so of course I had to have them too. I now have 13 of them and they hold all my scrapbook, art and Christmas magazines. Yes, I am a happy girl because of them. Of course, it's nice to go to IKEA and get the Swedish meatballs and berry sauce and the plants and the Christmas wrapping paper and the ......well you get the idea.

When I went to Ikea last week, I was with Wes. Needless to say it was a short and unfun trip to Ikea! You can never go to that store with a man! They just don't get it! I need to make another trip soon so if you want to go, let me know!

Joan,
Thank you for joining my blog as a follower...I just love it someone new comes for a visit and likes what they see on my blog. I have read a few of your posts so far and am loving your blog too !

I wish we had an IKEA closer to our house...the closest one is in Orlando and I try to plan a shopping trip for kitchen stuff when I go down to the Temple. We have only bought a large bookcase there so far and bringing it home was a trip, I'll tell ya...we were in the midst of wall to wall boxes for nearly three hours on the trip home !

My Hubs came in pretty handy that time but I agree with AMY...guys don't like to hang out and shop at IKEA for too long unless you take a few minutes to grab a meal about halfway thru your shopping trip.

LOL,
Lynn
