WE WILL NEVER FORGET Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of the worst days ever in American history. Close to 3,000 people died on September 11, 2001, leaving behind grieving children, moms and dads, husbands and wives, and cherished friends. Even though a quarter of a century has now passed since these tragic events unfolded before our very eyes on television, I can still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. I’m sure most of you…
If you have watched any recent puzzle content You Tubers, then you’re likely already aware of a big focus on a brand of puzzle I only just heard about when watching said You Tubers. They are called Hobbry Puzzles. Apparently the quality is supposed to be amazing and the price really reasonable because they seem to only be selling them at places like Marshalls, TJ Maxx / Home Goods, and Home Sense. I have not seen one of these puzzles…
My wonderful kids and hubby got me this gorgeous puzzle a couple years ago for Mother’s Day. I absolutely ADORE it. Both Derek and Cole wore these exact costumes one year for Halloween. We were a big superhero fan family when they were little, and still are to this day. Half of this puzzle was a blast and went together pretty easily. All the brightly colored areas were fairly easy to figure out. The “best mom ever” wording was a…
Yes, I am running a little bit behind on posts ever since going on vacation, but I will get back to it and catch up by this weekend sometime. This is currently in progress on my board downstairs. It’s by Enjoy and is my first puzzle by them, though I have several in my to do closet. The image is bright, colorful, and just gorgeous in my opinion. The pieces are a nice matte finish and so far seem to…
We are on a little mini vacation for the Labor Day weekend and I finally remembered to bring a puzzle with me as I usually forget when we travel. Not only did I bring a puzzle, but I also purchased five more puzzles when we went on a shopping trip at Ollie’s yesterday near our hotel. And, best of all….it was Randy’s idea! Last night while Randy and the boys were continuing an animated series they’ve been watching together, I…
Aren’t these pooches cute? This was a quick and easy 300-piece puzzle my brother brought with him on one of his Superbowl weekend visits a couple of years ago. He and I both love dogs of all kinds so this was one I’m sure he immediately knew I would also love. I believe he may have gotten this used at the library. Buffalo Games 300-pc puzzles are typically good quality and a bit on the shiny side, but not too…
Ever since I cleaned and organized my puzzle collection, I have found myself on several occasions just walking into the closet and staring at my treasures. Being in there really makes me happy. I look around at all my various options and smile because each puzzle in there is one that I truly want to do and my only problem is that I want to do them all at once. LOL I don’t know why but a sense of peace…
This puzzle was harder than I expected especially given it was only 500 pieces. It is very colorful and I did like doing it overall, but the part that was the trickiest of all were the swirly trees and I was not a huge fan of those. This is one of several in the overall image and I struggled a bit at first with getting these little buggars figured out. As you may recall from my post about having a…
Who wouldn’t love a master bedroom closet like this? No woman (and some men too) that I can think of would not love to walk into this gorgeous closet each morning to pick out what they want to wear for the day. I am blessed with a closet that is pretty large as well, but not quite as big as this one. I don’t have an “island” in the middle with drawers on the sides, but I do have the…
We started this cute 1000-piece puzzle by Master Pieces yesterday afternoon. It focuses on some of the greatest pop/rock albums released in the epic decade that was the 1980s. This one will be a lot of fun, I think and I will have a little t to say about the images I’m sure.
