Over the years, I have puzzled many different brands and have found some have had little to no puzzle dust while others had a small amount, and ironically, several other high quality brands have a ton. Yes, I am talking to you Ravensburger! This made me wonder what is the rhyme or reason for so much puzzle dust at the bottom of a box? And why can some brands that are considered cheaper quality and made in places like China…
This is another example of how my tastes in puzzle art have changed / evolved over time. I don’t know that would have bought this one a few years ago. I might have thought it was too dark or too artsy or something. I’m not even sure. All I know now is that I find this puzzle absolutely stunning. It’s simple, but extremely elegant and I am thoroughly in love with the image. I like to think I would love…
I love, love, LOVED this puzzle! It was so much fun to work on from the first piece to the last. The quality was fabulous, the feel of the pieces pretty divine, and the color saturation made it vibrant and gorgeous. This was my first puzzle by the brand Enjoy! and it certainly will not be my last. I have several more in my collection and am really looking forward to doing all of them. I had an earlier in…
I have recently noticed my image “tastebuds” have kind of changed and evolved since I initially created the blog and started puzzling on a regular basis. Here’s what I mean… I have always been drawn to the big four image categories I’ve mentioned in previous posts — Christmas / wintery; dogs; cats; buildings as my go to images when considering a puzzle for purchase. I am still very drawn to those go to’s and I don’t see that changing much…
OK I have to admit — this is a bizarre puzzle that makes no sense to me! The breads represented here from an artwork standpoint are drawn well and are interesting, but what the heck do bread and the Zodiac signs have to do with one another? It’s not like the shape of the bread represents the animal / symbol for that particular sign. I don’t know. I really didn’t get it to be perfectly honest. What do you think?…
How cute is this little puzzle? If you said, it’s adorable, you would be right! LOL Stacey over at My Jigsaw Journal gave me this new, larger version of the Micropuzzles she really enjoys. I loved their images and thought most of them were super cute, but I did not like the tiny size of the pieces. The ones that came in the tube were just too small for me to enjoy working with. However, when Micropuzzles changed up their…
This puzzle took a little longer to put together than I was expecting, but it was absolutely worthwhile. It is a gorgeous image! The color saturation was phenomenal and the quality was great too. I loved working on this one so much and am really looking forward to doing the other Britto’s in my collection. Randy helped quite a bit with this one which was great as it was way trickier than I thought it would be when I first…
I really enjoyed putting this puzzle together. I’ve seen most of the shows showcased. Maybe not the entire series, but most certainly a handful of episodes at least. There are a ton of shows represented here that I watched as a kid, including some of my most beloved shows from the 80s like Family Ties, Three’s Company, Happy Days, Soap, Growing Pains, Different Strokes, One Day at A Time, and The Wonder Years (though I thought that had started in…
I have had a busy couple of week with work travel and other commitments getting in the way of my puzzling time. I wanted to post a little update on the Romero Britto puzzle though so that you can see I’m making progress. Well I guess I should say I’m making a little progress, and Randy is making a lot more. He seems to really be enjoying puzzle these days which is nice. Though, I don’t seem to get much…
For such a tiny puzzle (300 pcs), this one was soo much fun! I loved it from start to finish. I really like toasting marshmallows over an open campfire flame. It’s a lot of fun, and super delicious to eat too. This is one of those puzzles where I really wished it had been in a bigger size. I could easily see having tons of fun with a 1000 piece version. It is super cute. I think my absolute favorite…
