Hello Everyone! Haunting Henrietta Humbug here, stepping in for Ann and Max as they're ... ermmm ... well ... indisposed at the moment. Let me try to explain.
It all started with some strange noises echoing through the corridors at Humbug Hall earlier this week.
Tap ... tap ... click ... click ... Dinga-linga-ling.
Tap ... tap ... click ... click ... Dinga-linga-ling.
Was it Ann furtively creeping around, collecting all the candy canes from last week's challenge and storing them away safely in her (not so secret) hidey holes to tuck into when she thinks no one is looking? Nah ... surely not even Ann is that sneaky!
Nope! Well she is ... but it wasn't her this time lol!
It turned out that Max had got the totally wrong idea when she saw this week's theme for
FYI - this is shorthand for Suspenders, Stillettos and Stockings, (complete with jingly bells on the heels), and Max was gaily tripping around Humbug Hall in all her glory, frightening the hounds and even scaring the resident ghosts! Certainly gave me a bit of a fright I can tell you. Needless to say, the S-S-S were quickly confiscated, (before she fell off the 6" heels and broke something else), and they're now safely locked away in the cellar. At least that's what Ann SAID she was doing with them. Anyway ... Ann then explained to Max that the Christmas Stockings in our theme are the ones that are hung up on Christmas Eve and filled with goodies. Max defiantly argued that her stockings still qualified!
Poor Ann shook her head in disbelief and was last seen rocking backwards and forwards on the stairway frantically sucking at a candy cane! As for Max ... well she disappeared and we can only presume she's gone somewhere to sulk.
Fortunately our Guest Designers Veronica and Kelly were not as outrageous as Max and they've produced gorgeous cards again for you this week. Ann also managed to relinquish her sucky soother long enough to create another wonderful card as inspiration for you. As always, if you'd like to know more details about this week's DT projects, or leave some love for Ann, Veronica and Kelly, please click on the links above each card to visit their personal blogs.

Oh My Giddy Aunt! Tap ... tap ... click ... click ... Dinga-linga-ling.
Look whose snuck in the back door and it sounds like she found her S-S-S! 
Oh well ... it's nice to see her back with us at long last, so let's hope Ann isn't too cross with her for sneaking her stash out of the cellar. With any luck she's back to stay - although I strongly suspect the S-S-S aren't lol!
