Visitors to Humbug Hall are probably a little worried at hearing the sounds of muffled sobbing, coupled with the awful howling of the Humbug Hounds today, but please try not to be too alarmed. We're all rather upset having just heard the news that Humbugger Irene has decided to resign from the DT following her recent illness. Obviously, we have to respect her decision and it goes without saying that we are going to miss her dearly. However, her health has to come first and hopefully, this will continue to improve over the coming weeks, so that she eventually makes a full recovery and who knows? ... maybe at some point in the future, she will rejoin us as part of the Bah! Humbug! team. Fingers (and paws) are firmly crossed!
Meanwhile, we will send her regular sackfuls of healing hugs ... and maybe even harrass her occasionally on the phone ... just so's she knows we're still here and thinking about her.
Hopefully our challenge this week is going to get your grey cells buzzing so you won't have time to pine too much. Please share your wonderful ideas and inspire us all to use
Just for starters, have a look at the examples from Ann and Carole this week and, as always if you would like to know more details or leave a comment, ('cos we love comments), please click on the links above each card.
Just in case you'd like to try something other than cardmaking, or simply need further convincing of how awesome doilies are, follow the links below for some more fabulously creative projects. We guarantee you will never again think doilies are boring!

Doilies
Hmmmm ... not an item you would immediately associate with crafting as they're more usually found lining a sandwich/cake plate, or as decoration on a dressing table for displaying Grandma's 'nicknacks'. However, as you will find out, doilies can produce absolutely amazing results when crafters get hold of them.
