Today is the final post in the Animal Selfies set of 12 puzzles by Cra-Z-Art that I have been blogging about recently. Each and every one of the puzzles was great fun to assemble and just hard enough to keep it from being boring. I love all (okay, well ALMOST all of the faces — sorry horses). For this final set, I chose my three favorites based on the shapes they include. I absolutely adore the gorgeous Orca in this…
I love dolphins! They are extremely intelligent, beautiful, elegant and graceful in the water. I even love the Miami Dolphins, though most of the time they are not nearly as intelligent or graceful as their mascots. LOL This selfie was so much fun to put together. Not only because of the adorable expressions on their faces, but also because Nemo, his dad and Dory are in it too! Ha ha What is not to adore about this precious selfie? Nothing,…
In the next installment of these adorable selfies we have cats and horses and birds — oh my! These sweet little faces make me laugh. I most especially love the bengal tiger looking one on the top. He is just adorable and I would love to have a real life version of this one. The orange tabby on the right makes me think he might be a few tea cups short of a full china cabinet. LOL I’m just sayin’……
For the first time this last weekend, I laid out all the boards I have at least started on the Around the World puzzle build. There are a total of 42 boards, each one containing 1,000 pieces. Some of these boards do not have pieces assembled on them yet as I have only been working on skyscraper buildings. My kids were “dying” to help me post a new You Tube video since they think it’s awesome I have 13 subscribers…
Cute, shaped mini puzzles from Cra-Z-Art.
I never thought I would see the day that I, of my own freewill, decided to give up one (or more) of my big, mega puzzles. However, recently I discovered after re-organzing my puzzle closet that I have way more than enough puzzles to keep me busy, including three other super mega puzzles (and who knows how many more to come in the future) for the next 50+ years at least. I lovingly pulled out four of my first big…
Wow, it has been a while since I posted anything on the blog. In fact, today is the first time in about one month that I even turned on my personal laptop. I’m 99% of the time in front of my work laptop, sitting at my desk or in front of my kids’ laptops helping them with their virtual lessons. It’s kicking my butt big time! The boys are winding down their first nine weeks of virtual learning for 5th…
Never before have I seen a puzzle character that came with it’s own backstory, but for some reason (and I love it) this one did. This is what is on the back of the box — written by the artist perhaps? Ceaco? Though I’ve never seen them do that on other puzzles….hmmmm. GiGi lives with colors and patterns and her companion, FiFi, the mouse. She has a pet named CoCo who is a Scottish Terrier. GiGi is adventerous. She loves…
