I think half the stuff in my room, let alone the rest of my house, is from Ikea.

I haven't gone in a while...
I'm trying to save my money....
We'll see how long that lasts!
Have you ever noticed the shopping carts in Ikea?
They rock... the wheels are able to move in all directions...
It's the smoothest cart ride around...
Make me think of "shopping".... you could easily fling these carts everywhere in any direction!!

but would they stay on their proposed paths?  ...i think i've been to one... but i know a lot of the stuff we saw in europe was ikea mmm... europe Barcelona is the the coolest city ever... you can stay in a hotel, but only if you intend on having only 2 or 3 people in your room... if you have 4, like us, you rent an apartment for a few days www.lovingbarcelona.com |

IKEA!!! We go to the one in PA (I don't know the exact location, I'm an idiot) whenever we visit my grandparents. It's so exciting, and Swedish!

I got some furniture from Ikea - 2 really comfy futon chairs which I put together myself, and I'm in need of another two or three...

I've never been to an Ikea. I don't think there are any around here.

Since it was requested, here is the recipe for Raspberry Pretzel Dessert
SHAR’S RASPBERRY-PRETZEL DESSERT
2 rounded cups crushed pretzels
1½ cubes butter or margarine, melted
¼ cup sugar
Mix pretzel pieces, butter and sugar. Press into 9 x 13" baking pan that has been lightly greased and bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes. Cool.
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
1 cup sugar
Blend together until smooth. Spread over cooled pretzel crust.
1 large package raspberry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
12 oz. package frozen raspberries
Dissolve Jell-O in water, add frozen berries, and refrigerate until thickened slightly. Pour berry mixture over creamy layer and chill until set completely. Top with additional Cool Whip if desired.
(Be sure to prepare in the order given so that the crust has time to cool thoroughly and the berry/Jell-o mixture doesn’t set up before the other two layers are completed!)
