12 Days of Christmas Puzzles — Day 1

12 Days of Christmas Puzzles — Day 1

I found the most adorable box set of puzzles at Kohl’s recently. They are all Christmas themed of course and there is an individual box to open for each of the 12 days. Caeco is the maker of this one and the quality is great. The fit is pretty snug and I can pick up the entire puzzle without it falling apart. Day # 1’s puzzle was a very cute Santa Claus holding gifts for some lucky recipient. I love…

Go West Young Bostonian!

Go West Young Bostonian!

Saw this adorable little face and had to get it. This is a small, 100-piece puzzle so it did not take long at all to complete. I think this may be my first Re-marks puzzle and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pieces fit together tightly and I was able to pick up the entire puzzle and stand it on end. Always love it when I can do that. ? As I have said before, I love Boston Terriers since I…

New Puzzle Day — 12/9/19

Wow! It is December already! Where did this year go?! I forgot to write up a post for the puzzles I got this week so making up for it now. Here are my most recent purchases. I cannot think of too many things I love more than new Puzzle Day. It is always a pleasurable one. I love the library looking one on the bottom and the delicious candy one the best, but I think they will all be fun!

Santa Paws

Santa Paws

This was the second puzzle I recently picked up at Hobby Lobby from a company called Brother Sister Design Studio. I had pretty low expectations as I had never heard of this company, and even when I opened the first one, Pretty in Pink, I thought the pieces seemed a little bit thin. However, I was soon pleasantly surprised as the pieces fit together so nicely. When I opened Santa Paws for a quick puzzle fix a few nights ago,…

Around the World: Making Progress

Around the World: Making Progress

Over the last couple of weeks between cleaning and hosting Thankgiving, I have been sorting and sorting and….well, you get the idea. I have to say — 42k pieces is no joke! It has been fun, but with as much sorting as I have done, and knowing I am only halfway through the big mixed container it is a bit daunting. I know I will get there, but jeez louise it doesnt feel like it’s ever going to end. LOL
