IKEA + Awesome Husband = Scrap Happiness

You have to spend money to make money, right? Well, today I spent money at one of my most favoritest stores! I take that back... The Husband spent the money for me, but he followed very good instructions while there.

Let me start over.

My Nest/scrapbooking friend, Noaillese, has an awesome workspace for her crafts. When she told me that her bookcase (I call it a grid, because of its fantastic geometric perfection) came from Ikea for less than $200, I decided that I must have one.

Now that I'm at home for the summer and planning on doing quite a bit of scrapbooking of my own (as well as a good number of CM workshops), I decided to put my recent earnings to good use and invest! I was going to head to Ikea with The Husband this morning, but he chose to go on his own (something about me always losing focus and buying hundreds of dollars worth of votive holders and picture frames and ceramic pots and kitchen utensils and doormats... not sure what he was talking about, really...). Anyway, he ended up going alone.

And came back with......

This.

Doesn't look like much, you say? Oh, just you wait. Just. You. Wait.
