Ikea & Freebies

On Saturday my sister and I made the trek to Ikea. Our mom babysat our kids for the day and we made the 2.5 hour drive feel short by chatting the whole time. I went to get the Expedit Bookcase, the one with the cubes that I could put baskets in for some nicer toy storage. But, of course, they didn't have any of the baskets I wanted left. So I didn't get it because if I couldn't get all of it, I'll wait, or think of something else. I did get a new duvet, and a few little decor items. Then we went to HomeSense and Michaels, and I found a bunch of stuff there. I dropped off my sister and started the 2.5 hour solo trek home. On the way, I passed a wagon with a big FREE sign on it. I had to turn around. I picked up a few things that I thought I could use for future projects. Here is a sample, finished projects to follow (hopefully soon!)
