It's been absolutely 'HOACHING' here at Humbug Hall this week ... or for those not familiar with the Scottish lingo ... we've been overrun with these, (not so), little critters - EEEEEEEK!
Whilst common sense dictates that we Bah Humbuggers shouldn't be scared of them, given that they're so much smaller than us ... (and let's face it, no one ever heard of a spider squishing a human lol) ... that doesn't deter us from screaming and running for cover like demented idiots whenever we catch sight of them scurrying across the floor, up the walls, down the curtains, along the skirting boards .... eurrrgghhhh .... just the thought is enough to bring on the shudders. Then comes the inevitable pushing and shoving at each other until Ann eventually loses and is dispatched to deal with them, armed with the extra long handled spider-catcher, of course!
One push of the trigger opens the bristles and when released, the offending invader is captured and can be safely returned to the garden - that is until it decides to come back in out of the rain, bringing along all the family for an arachna-shindig! Taking a bit of a liberty really don'tcha' think?
ANYWAY ... the point is that all this arachna-batic activity coincides quite nicely with our theme for this week's challenge, which is

Now unfortunately, Humbugger Ann got a bit fed up being our "Chief Spider-Catcher Extaordinaire" and decided to escape on her jollies - this time to Gran Canaria, ... (hmmmm ... wonder how big the spiders are over there?) ... so there will be an obvious gap in our gallery for the next couple of weeks.
BUT thank goodness she left the extra-long-handled-gadget thingy behind ... because Guest Designer Barb is going to need it LOL! Speaking of Barb, she's been busy spinning her own beautiful wee web this week ... you have just got to take a look and admire her fabulous work.
