We had a great week!<br />
<br />
Cade left for Camp on Sunday and it was just me the H-man during the day. He really missed his brother, so I tried to do a few special things to keep him busy.<br />
<br />

1. Monday, we had a mostly chill day and then headed to the pool for a little bit.<br />
<br />
2. Tuesday, the weather was pretty yucky so we worked on a few projects. Henry was quite the Project Manager! We cleaned out and organized the fridge and freezer, and then re-organized a few problem kitchen cabinets and drawers.<br />
<br />
<br />

3. Wednesday was such a success that I decided to tackle another project with Henry's help. We completely rearranged our master closet. (This will be in a future blog post/youtube video.) Before we could start the project I needed to pick up a few things, so we headed out for a quick trip to ROss and Target. On the way to Ross we spotted a helicopter that was about to land, so we parked in the hospital parking lot so Henry could watch it up close. He thought it was pretty cool. He also got a snack at Target.<br />

4. Thursday was the day Cade came home from camp. He is still super sleepy, but we are thrilled to have him back.<br />

5. I managed to get a few videos up on my YouTube channel. I am working on more videos that are not beauty related, so be on the look out for those. In the mean time, check these from this week out. <br />

Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend! See you next week.<br />

It's over, sounds so dramatic!<br />
<br />
I have been mostly silent on the blog this year. I have gone from having big plans for the blog, to being done with blogging.<br />
<br />
I was set on being done, but instead am creating a new blog.<br />
<br />
There is a good story, and a lot more work to be done before I am up and running, so please stay tuned. <br />

<br />
I have been trying to come up with a good way to organize and store my jewelry for a really long time! I have been through so many different jewelry boxes, in all shapes and sizes, but nothing was working for me.<br />
<br />
<b>My Dilemmas</b><br />
<br />
- I was trying to store my jewelry in our master bedroom.<br />
- Our bathroom is tiny, so I shower in our bathroom, throw on some clothes, and then head downstairs to do my hair and makeup in the bigger bathroom.<br />
- Once I am downstairs, I never make it back upstairs.<br />
- I usually end up taking my earrings and bracelets off at some point in the afternoon or early evening, so they end up scattered throughout the downstairs.<br />
<br />
<b>My Jewelry Storage Requirements</b><br />
<br />
- Must to be able to hang up all of my necklaces<br />
- Must to be able to store all jewelry in one place <br />
- Must to be closed storage, not out in the open<br />
- Must be in the downstairs bathroom<br />
<br />
<br />
I was putting some things away in the down stairs bathroom the other day, and I realized that I had a lot of wasted space in the cabinets. It just kind of hit me, that with a little bit of rearranging, I had the perfect spot.<br />
<br />
I picked out a shelf and then got to work. I knew I wanted something to hang my necklaces across the back of the cabinet. My first thought was to cut a piece of scrap wood and then add some type of hooks or nails. I waited a few days and realized that I could make it even simpler. I grabbed a piece foam core board that I had on hand and then covered it in a piece of scrap fabric from my stash using duck tape. <br />
<br />
Once my board was all cute, I add clear pushpins across the back. I put the board in the cabinet and then put all of my jewelry in.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I had plenty of room to hang all of my necklaces. I added a few ceramic egg crates that I already had for earrings, and then a small jewelry box that I already had for bracelets. I just placed my watches on the shelf and then added a small tray for a few more earrings that didn't quite fit in the egg crates. The little white elephant (Roll Tide) hold my wedding rings when I am not wearing them.<br />

I have been using this system since the first of the year, and it is working beautifully! I no longer have to hunt for wear I last put my gold hoops or my watch.<br />
<br />
I should have taken the time to repaint the inside of this cabinet, but I just didn't have it in me. I did clean out and organize the rest of the cabinet, so it really is a WIN!<br />
<br />
Where to you store your jewelry? <br />

1. Asher and I celebrated 17 years of marriage on New Year's Eve. I love that we always have a special date night each and every year. There is no other way I would rather ring in the new year. This year my in-laws kept the kids overnight, so we had a nice Japanese dinner out and then went to a late movie. It was a nice treat. <br />
<br />
2. I am looking forward to a new year of blogging. Last year during the month of Oct. I posted for (almost) 30 days in a row on one particular subject. I learned that with a little bit of planning and structure, I can post pretty often. I am not looking to post everyday, but I am going to start planning ahead a little bit more.<br />

I plan to use my new Erin Condren Monthly calendar that I received as a Christmas gift as a dedicated blog planner. I am already enjoying have my blog editorial calendar being separate from my regular Life Planner. (See my side bar if you are a new Erin Condren customer. You can use my referral link to receive a discount on your first purchase, and I will receive a credit at no extra expense to you.) <br />

I thoroughly enjoyed my planner last year. They have also added some new optional add-ons this year that look very useful.<br />
<br />
I had a credit for EC, so I am using the Erin Condren Life Planner for 2015. I'm sure there will be a review in the near future.<br />

Henry's preschool class at church sang 2 Christmas songs to the entire congregation. They were all so cute. Henry sang all the words, but was very serious about it.<br />

We had Christmas with Asher's extended family the Saturday before Christmas. Henry got a new Color Wonder puzzle. He went from this excited face to really bummed that there was not a gray or black marker in the set. How was he going to color the minion's goggles or gloves without a gray or black marker? <br />

I painted a few Family Christmas Canvases. One for us, and a couple to give as gifts to a few of my friends. (These were the ONLY crafty thing I did this Christmas.)<br />

We spent Christmas Eve driving around looking at Christmas lights. The boys had fun, but were ready to get home and go to bed. I took a quick picture of them in front of the tree right before they went to bed.<br />

We woke up Christmas morning and piled on our bed to read the Christmas story before we opened any gifts. This is one thing we have done every single year since Cade was a baby. <br />

I didn't get many pictures, but we spent the rest of the day at our house with both of our families. It was a wonderful Christmas.<br />
<br />
The day after Christmas we spent the day in the woods at a shooting range, riding 4 wheelers, and and fishing! It was the perfect way to spend the day as a family.<br />

I sure wasn't expecting to get my 2014 Christmas Home Tour up AFTER Christmas, but I just couldn't seem to get my junk together and get it done. I'm still going to post it because I really enjoy looking back at our home each year.<br />
<br />
I did one tiny new Christmas painting, and we have a new to us tree, but everything else is the same Christmas decor that we use every year.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy our very simple 2014 Christmas Home Tour.<br />

<b>Den</b> - We did have lights on our tree, but 2 sections went out the day before I took these pictures, so I didn't turn them on. We did finally fix them on Christmas Eve.<br />

Cade turned nine the day before Thanksgiving. Y'all, he is such a great kid. I just love him so much. It is so hard for me wrap my mind around him being nine already. <br />
<br />
We were going to be headed out of town for Thanksgiving on the day of his birthday, and it never quite worked out to do anything with his friends the two weekends before, so we did the next best thing.<br />
<br />

I invited them to come over for cake on Monday afternoon the week of Thanksgiving. I made a really simple minecraft cake, and then the kids all played outside.<br />

The morning of his actual birthday we got up and let him open his presents from me and Asher. We spent the rest of the day packing and then loaded up to head to Jacksonville for Thanksgiving weekend.<br />

The day after his birthday we had another little mini party for him. He had no idea it was coming, so he was pretty excited about more cake and presents.<br />
<br />
I think he had a great birthday.<br />

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent Cade's birthday and Thanksgiving out of town, so I have a LOT to catch up on. I did manage to get my dining room all ready for Christmas. The rest of the house has a long way to go...<br />

I am not one of those people that changes my Christmas color scheme from year to year. I like to use the same thing over and over. I usually change it up a little and a new something here and there, but for the most part I don't purchase much Christmas decor each year. I didn't buy anything new for this table.<br />

The reindeer plates belonged to my mother. I only remember her using them once, but they have become a favorite.<br />

I really like having this chalkboard in the dining room. It's fun to decorate for birthdays and holidays when it isn't covered in spelling words.<br />

Thanksgiving is just a few short days away.<br />
<br />
I'm sure most of you that are hosting Thanksgiving this year already have your home decked out for Thanksgiving. Your house is probably super clean and you have just a few things left to mark off of your TO DO list. <br />
<br />
I also know that some of you are waiting until the last minute to get your junk together.<br />
<br />
I created a Thanksgiving Printable for those of you that need a last minute something to decorate with. You know you should be finalizing your menu and grocery list instead of trying to craft something from scratch. <br />
<br />
Just have this printed and stick it in a frame. <br />

Yesterday, I mentioned that I had the brilliant idea to <a href="http://www.nikkisnacs.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-much-funiture-can-you-switch-around.html" target="_blank">rearrange our living room</a>. I liked the way our living room looked, but it really just wasn't functioning for the way we live.<br />
<br />
-It felt small.<br />
-There was only one really good seat for watching TV.<br />
-There was no where to set down a cup of coffee from the love seat without moving stuff around.<br />
<br />
It just didn't function.<br />
<br />
We lived with this layout for as long as we have lived here, because I was told that the cable could only go on the far wall. I finally started questioning it, and my husband was a sweetie pie and moved it for me.<br />
<br />
The large entertainment center got booted out of this room. I was a little sad, because I really liked the shelves for displaying things, but it also limited the size of our TV. A 32" TV is a little small for really enjoying a good football game. (Roll Tide!)<br />
<br />

<br />
The room feels huge now! There is so much floor space for the boys to play, we had enough room to bring in my husband's leather recliner, and I can set a cup of coffee down from any seat without moving something. It's the little things.<br />
<br />
It really feels like a different house. <br />
<br />
We still have several things left to do in this room.<br />
- The big, blank wall - I'm thinking a gallery wall.<br />
- We need to decide on a new TV and media stand of some sort.<br />
<br />
We brought in the teal dresser from our bedroom as a fill in until we decide what we want. This dresser works well for now, so we aren't in a hurry.<br />
<br />
I am hoping to get started on the gallery wall soon. I would really like to have it finished before I start decorating for Christmas. Um, we'll see how that goes. <br />

We finished a TON of projects around the house last month before my sister's Wedding Reception. I was looking forward to a month of nothing much going on around our house for the month of Nov. as we gear of for Christmas decorating in Dec.<br />
<br />
Yeah, that didn't happen.<br />

<br />
Thursday night I was sitting on the couch editing pictures and my lap top died. I got up to get a charger and then moved the couch I was sitting on to plug it in. Somehow when I did this, I imagined our <a href="http://www.kevinandamanda.com/recipes/dinner/red-beans-rice-nawlins-style.html" target="_blank">living room</a> laid out completely differently. <br />
<br />
It was now midnight and I couldn't shut my bran off. When we moved into this house, almost 4 years ago, my husband told me that the cable HAD to go where it was in the living room. I just listened, and have been working around it. I was now questioning whether it HAD to be this way, or if it was just EASIER if it was this way. <br />
<br />
I talked to my husband about the new plan and found that he could actually move the cable to the interior wall that I wanted it on. It just meant I was gong to have to stand on a ladder outside and my sweet husband was going to have to make several trips into the attic.<br />
<br />
The short version is that my wonderful husband executed my plan beautifully! We moved the cable and rearranged the living room. But, you know what that means. The SNOWBALL. It always happens. It creates other projects and messes with other rooms. I now have a long list of new projects.<br />
<br />
This post is getting long.<br />
<br />
I am not going to show you how much bigger our living room now feels, but I am going to show you the bookcases that got moved to our den. They got the boot from the living room and are now at home in our den. We just removed the center one that was meant to hold a TV. I obviously had to <a href="http://www.nikkisnacs.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-simple-painted-project-back-of.html" target="_blank">paint the backs</a> again, because that is just what I do. I am planning to fill you in with all of the details, but for now, you just get this one picture.<br />

<br />
This will most likely be the only "Wedding" post you ever find on Nikki's Nacs, but my sister recently got married, and I decorated for the reception. <br />
<br />
The goal for the reception decor was for everything to be simple, pretty, easy to execute, and very budget friendly. The original plan was to order flowers for centerpieces, but it occurred to me that I didn't have the refrigerator space to keep flowers. I was also hosting dinner at my house the night before the reception, so I needed something that could be done in advance. We quickly switched gears, and landed on a simple fall theme.<br />
<br />
My mom had a pretty nice collection of pumpkins that my sister and I have held on to, so that was our starting point. I was going to purchase more, but my sister's new MIL also had a nice collection of pumpkins that we were able to use.<br />
<br />
The venue for the reception included white table clothes, so we decided to use burlap on top of the white.<br />
<br />
The only thing that was purchased for the centerpieces, in addition to the burlap, was teal burlap ribbon, yarn, and scrapbook paper to make tags.<br />
<br />
There were 6 large round tables, and 4 smaller bar tables. Each table had a different centerpiece. I decorated my table at home with all of the different centerpieces before hand and took pictures so that it would be easy to decorate the morning of the reception. I was a huge time saver! <br />
<br />
Ok, enough talking. I am going to let the rest of the pictures speak for themselves.<br />

It looks like I missed getting a picture of one of the tables. Oh well, It had pumpkins and burlap on it. <br />

The card and gift table. </div>

There was also a burlap bunting on the front of this table, but my picture didn't turn out. </div>

In lieu of a guest book, all of the guests signed this monogram wreath with a metallic sharpie. There was also a journal on the table for anyone that wanted to leave a note.<br />

<br />
In honor of our 25th Week of What You Wish Wednesday, we are having our first giveaway. This is just our way of saying thank you to all of you that come here each week to link up your posts.<br />
<br />
We are giving away a $50 gift card to Target! I'm sure that the winner will be able to put it to good use prepping for Thanksgiving, getting ready for Christmas, or for just getting yourself something that you have been wanting. I'd love to hear how you would spend the gift card if you are chosen as the winner. I'm just nosy like that - it's not required!<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to seeing all the linkups this week. Get your posts all linked up, and then use the raffelcopter below to enter the giveaway! <br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Hi there</span>, if you are here for the first time from the <a href="http://cultivatecreate.blogspot.com/2014/11/lets-gather-thanksgiving-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">Let's Gather Blog Hop</a>, Welcome!<br />
<br />
I am Nikki, and I am thrilled for you to be here. I am stop number 6, so by the time you have landed here, you should already be very inspired for Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
I will not be hosting, or even cooking anything for Thanksgiving this year, so I decided to create a Thanksgiving Mantlescape that we can enjoy all month long. <br />
<br />
And when I say mantlescape, I really mean that I decorated the top of my upright piano because I don't have a mantle to decorate.<br />
<br />
I wanted to keep things fairly neutral and very simple, so I gathered a few things that I already had around the house.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Supplies</span></b> <br />
-Burlap<br />
-Teal Burlap Ribbon<br />
-Teal Yarn<br />
-Ceramic Pumpkins<br />
-Mercury Glass Candle Stick Holders<br />

<br />
<b>Tips for Creating a Simple Mantlescape</b> <br />
1. Don't over think it.<br />
2. Use items with varying heights.<br />
3. Mix finishes or styles to keep it interesting.<br />
4. Add texture in some way.<br />
5. Less is more. <br />
<br />
I hope you have been inspired to create a Simple Thanksgiving Mantlescape for your your home. <br />

1. My sister got married in August, but her wedding reception was this past Saturday. It was such a fun weekend. Friday night all of our family come over for a Chili Dinner and S more's by the fire. Saturday morning I got up early to go decorate the venue. It was beautiful! (I'll do a separate post on that another day.) The reception was so much fun! I am so happy for my Sis and new Bro and enjoyed spending the weekend with family.<br />

3. We had a great time at Trunk or Treat this year. The boys decided a few months ago that they wanted to do a Lego Movie theme. Asher was President Business, I was Wild Style, Cade was Benny, and Henry was Emmet. Cade always requests that their costumes be comfortable to play in so that they can easily do all of the fun activities. This year I kept it simple and just did tops and half masks.<br />

Our games were very simple, but seemed to be a hit. We had several kids that kept coming back over and over.<br />

4. I participated in the <a href="http://write31days.com/" target="_blank">Nester's 31 Day Writing Challenge</a> during the month of October. It was a crazy busy month to take something like this on, but I am happy that I did it. I learned a lot. I missed a few days, but will be filling in those posts very soon. You can view the posts <a href="http://nikkisnacs.blogspot.com/2014/10/31-days-of-simple-painted-projects.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> if you would like to check them out.<br />

5. If you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/nikkisnacs" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, you may have already seen this, but I still wanted to show you here. The short version is that the Erin Condren Life Planner Covers will fit the Plum Paper Planner.<br />
<br />
I have really enjoyed my Plum Paper Planner this year, but I had a credit at Erin Condren that was enough to order a new Life Planner and extra cover for Free. (The extra cover was a promotion from Erin Condren.) I decided that this would be a great way to try the Erin Condren Life Planner to see if I could get used to not having lines. It may end up not being a big deal.<br />
<br />
You can read my reviews about the Plum Paper Planners <a href="http://nikkisnacs.blogspot.com/2014/01/plum-paper-designs-planner-review-and.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and <a href="http://nikkisnacs.blogspot.com/2014/09/plum-paper-planner-review-8-months-in.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see why I chose it over the Erin Condren Life Planner last year.<br />
<br />
I for sure prefer the Erin Condren Covers over the ones from Plum Paper. I knew this for sure after getting the Erin Condren Teacher Planner. The colors are just more vibrant. I have a few months left in my Plum Paper Planner. I was looking at the 2 side by side and was pretty sure that the Erin Condren Cover would fit perfectly on the Plum Paper Planner. The PP cover is a little bit wider, but if you take it off, the Erin Condren Cover fits perfectly on the Plum Paper Planner. It was a fun discovery that I wanted to pass along. I like knowing that if after using the EC planner I still prefer the lines in the PP one, I can order a PP planner and and EC cover and have the perfect planner.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in ordering something from Erin Condren, and are a new customer, please use the referral link on my side bar. You will receive $10 off of your first EC order, and I will receive a credit to use towards a future purchase.<br />

This particular painted chair isn't spectacular, but I saved it for last because is gives you a sneak peek at my new office nook that I will be revealing in the near future. </div>

I have been working on my new office nook and needed a new chair for my desk. I have one chair left from the first dining room set we ever purchased that I am using as a stand in until I find exactly what I want. I want something a little more comfy, but this is working for now.</div>

I used my favorite green spray paint, Ivy Leaf by Krylon. I took it outside, wiped it down with a de-glosser, add a coat of primer, and then a few coats of paint. It was very simple. I really like the pop of green with my new white desk.</div>

I hope you have enjoyed this series. It was fun looking back at old projects and doing a few new ones. A Simple Painted Project will always be my favorite. </div>
