Finally

Finally, I'm starting to get my massive amounts of scrapbook stuff under control. I have a lot of stuff. No, really, I mean A LOT of stuff. It really is an obsession. I MUST HAVE IT ALL. This in turn creates the problem of storing everything. We got me a table from my fave store, Ikea, a couple of months ago, but storage was still an issue. So, last week, Bob and I went back down to Dallas. This time it was only for the day, but Mary came and hung out with us and it was tons of fun. We spent over 3 hours in the Ikea. Can you imagine? And, I spent a ton of $$, even though they were out of the two main things I went down for. I bought a HUGE bookcase and tons of jars, and already need more. How is that possible?



We got home around 10:30, and I conned my sweetest husband in the world to putting the bookcase together that night so I could get started on the organizing. I'm still not quite "THERE" but it's seriously getting better. Actually cleaning and putting things away when you use/buy them will help too. I can't telly you how many times I said, "Thank you," to Chris for staying up till midnight working on the bookcase. We both love it.

  1. I don't know where you get your energy from. You went to Dallas and back in one day and then stayed up to put a bookcase together? Impressive.

  2. Only 3 hours in Ikea? What did you do, run through the place?! LOL! We spent *5* hours in the Houston store yesterday, plus a couple of hours the night before. I, too, am plotting my SB storage solutions from Ikea. Love the bookcase you bought!
