Halloween Holiday Decor / by Paula

 Is this you?

what I plan to do

It is me!  

I start off every holiday with the best of intentions, then BAM!  Halloween is tomorrow and I haven't even remembered to buy the candy, much less decorate.  Today's blog will show you a few simple items that you can buy to make your house a little more festive without cutting holes in fruit and making a mess.  Here we go...

It is almost time to bring out the Halloween Decorations and get ready for the spooky parties and adorable Trick or Treaters. If you are tired of the same old hokey stuff you see on everyone's Pinterest and want to have something a little more unique and sophisticated, today's Mood Board is for you. I feel that throwing a few things here and there - if they are the right things - give you just as much impact as draping your entire house in cotton spider-webbing that you are pulling out of the siding on the house well into next summer.
