Best $8 24-inch ruler I got in a long time: http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/24-in-ruler/A-p8656837e
I only wish it had a cork backing on it, but that shall soon be fixed…

Here, this should get a chuckle from you Canadians who are always dealing with this from the other direction.
Estimated shipping to California for the $7.99 ruler: $17.07

These wooden framed mirrors were only 1.99 at IKEA. they are about 11x11 inches with a 4 inch (approx.) mirror in the middle. Lots of engraving space !!! Inspirational, anniversary, wedding, graduation - all sorts of quotes you could do…

Yeah, I really need to pay a visit to the new Burbank store. But my girlfriend was there two weeks ago and it took her over an hour to get a parking spot. I think I’ll wait until the newness wears off a little.

Good to see another forger in AZ. Do you know if there are any pre release units out here yet?

Yup that’s the one. I love burning time and seeing what I can find in Ikea, but I didn’t know it was still so crazy over there. There’s no way I need to get to the new one that badly. I’d happily pay shipping to avoid that mess.

They are supposed to be building an IKEA somewhere on the northwest side of San Antonio. I hope that comes to fruition soon. It would change the trip from 2.5 hours to just 45 minutes.

One folded up in your wallet is super handy.

Getting ready for the GFgirl to arrive and this is my weekend IKEA haul. Getting a pile of acrylic going too. I loved the oblong cutting boards and the wood tool box thingy as there’s lots of room for decorating. (Didn’t want to start yet another materiel thread and found yours takitus. Hope you don’t mind )

@kittski Nice Haul! You reminded me of some of the things that I have on my list to get at Ikea. So many thing to get/do before the 
comes. That and checking my email every 5 minutes.

Dang it, I missed these on my IKEA trip :-/ These do look like they’ll work great. I’m gonna need t go back again, what a shame 
Me too! I have actually started chipping away at the “to do” list though and feel better about having some material on hand. It has been difficult to find time in between the email checking though lol.

You know – Ikea has always made me slightly mad when when I have been there, but I think you just gave me a good reason to go back. Thank you!
