Decorating for Halloween is a highlight of the season – it means that fall is officially here and I can get geared up for my favorite season.  I don’t do anything super scary or gruesome because… well, I’m a wimp and can’t take it. ha!  (Truth is I’ve never even been in a haunted house because I’m certain it would give me a heart attack.)  The past few years I’ve used books and birds to decorate, and this year I did the same –  with a twist.  To keep the color palette more neutral, I only used white pumpkins, and I turned the books around so the pages faced forward.  The bird cage I use year-round but in another location and the “mirror” is one that I made look old in this DIY. A few cobwebs and plastic spiders complete the look.
