Challenge 33 ... Something New ...

It's been a hive of activity for us Humbuggers this week, as we reluctantly wind down from the Summer Jollies, peruse our precious piccies and get back into the normality that is called 'Life at Humbug Hall'. 
Like many of you in the same situation, (especially those with kiddlings), we are battling humungous mountains of washing which have mysteriously accumulated at every turn ... and just when you get to the bottom of it all, you turn around and realise that the mountains of washing have transformed into gargantuan mountains of ironing ... and when you finally finish ploughing through that lot ... WELL ... then comes the dreaded chore of putting it all away into wardrobes and drawers which seem to have shrunk! 
Anyway,  once everything was squeezed back where it belonged, (and some where it didn't!), we managed to find a teeny bit of time for this week's challenge which is
Something New
If you're suffering the symptoms of Craft Withdrawal and feeling the urge to buy a little treat ... maybe as a reward for doing all that washing lol ... then you have our permission to do so.   YAY!   BUT ... if all the expenses of the last few weeks has left you feeling a wee bitty skint and you think that means you can't play along this week.  Errrrrr ... WRONG! 
No money is no excuse because your Something New could be an opportunity to show off a new technique you have learned ... or maybe even invented!
For more details about this week's DT projects, or if you just want to leave some love for Ann, Max & Donna,  please click on the links above each image to visit our personal blogs.  We always really appreciate any comments or opinions you may have.   Tracy hasn't joined us yet this week but we suspect she might possibly have been accidently 'squeezed' into somewhere she shouldn't be - whoops!  We're going to send the Humbug Hounds out to search and hopefully we'll find her before next week's challenge.

Ann - Just for Fun 

Now
... for those of you who lurrrrrve surprises and left a comment on our 'Celebrating over 400 Followers' post, hold your breath no longer because here are the winners...
Yeah! ... congrats to all three of you.  Please could you send an email to Humbug Hall and we'll get a small surprise sent out to you as soon as possible.
AND FINALLY ....

********************
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 25th August 2011
 *********************
You are free to create whatever you like ... it doesn't have to be a card ... in fact, show us as many different Christmas Projects as you want to share.  
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.

    Hiya there Humbuggers,

    How are you doing in your big Humbug hall.

    Have missed you,still pop in and see that you are ok but things got so strained just before Christmas and my dearestMother in Law passed in Feburary - it was all a big long muddle of health issues and hubby in hospital too.Not a fun time.

    But enough of that I want to get my jollies on as my Christmas Jollies hee hee

    Great cards and like your thinking on the "NEW" theme!

    My New would be have never added a gem buckle and flower gem to a ribbon before or Never coloured Black hair before.

    Hope you like my Christmas card.

    http://casperscraftycapers.blogspot.com/2011/08/velvet-snowflake.html

    Take care
    big hugs
