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.
