In the almost four years that I’ve been doing this blog, I have had the opportunity and pleasure to meet a lot of wonderful people from all over the world.  It’s always so much fun to talk with others who share the same passion for jigsaw puzzles that I do, and it also almost always turns out that we have lots more than just jigsaw puzzles in common.

About a year or so ago I “met” Lani who is from Hawaii…lucky girl!  She and I hit it off immediately and began emailing back and forth about puzzles, of course, but as we quickly learned, we had many other things in common as well including favorite TV shows and reading.

Lani is a big puzzler, and I think she has also converted her husband into a puzzle addict as well.  She mostly prefers puzzles in the 1,000 to 1,500 range, so when she got her hands on a 2,000 piece puzzle she realized it might be a little too much for her.  So, being the incredibly sweet Hawaiian Angel that she is, she asked me if she could send the puzzle to me.  :o)  Well, sure Lani, if you REALLY want to….LOL

So, several weeks ago I got a package in the mail from Lani with one of the cutest, most special puzzles I have ever received.  She wouldn’t tell me what the puzzle was, just that I would “love it”, and how right she was!  I do love it, and I cannot wait to put it together and hang it on a wall between my two boys’ rooms.  I can’t put it in one and not the other’s of course so I have to come up with neutral territory.  :o)

The puzzle is from Tenyo – a popular Japanese puzzle manufacturer that does a lot of Disney puzzles.  The pieces are slightly smaller than the average puzzle, but the quality of the print looks very good.
