Between this post and my Vacation Mickey one the other day you may be starting to notice a pattern. I love Italy and Italian food! This White Mountain Puzzle was a really fun assembly and proved to not be too difficult. This was another one where I saved the border to the end which made it come together pretty quick. I love old, vintage style advertising and this one was chock full of them which made it really fun to…
This Aimee Stewart puzzle was so much fun! I loved every minute of it, and it wasn’t a difficult build either. It was one I completed so long ago that I would have sworn I had published something about it here, but I don’t see anything in doing a search of all my blog posts so maybe I didn’t. Hopefully because I don’t want to repeat content anymore than I already have with Vacation Mickey. I used to love wearing…
It seems like many, many moons ago that I posted this in progress pic of a puzzle called Lips. I had recently started it and then never posted a completion post about the final assembly and my overall thoughts. I loved this puzzle so much when I was putting together all the different lips – each one was so unique and pretty. I really was enjoying it, but once all the lips were completed and all that remained was the…
Clearly it does not pay for me to step away from the blog for so long. I wrote up this “new” blog post last night thinking I had never talked about it before because when I did my initial search of the blog I did not find the original post. But, after going through a few of my older posts – circa 2020, low and behold there it was. Funny enough I said a lot of the same things below…
Have you ever had a puzzle that you fell in love with immediately, couldn’t wait to do, and then half to two thirds of the way done, you were just over it and wanted it to end? That was me with this puzzle. I instantly fell in love with the colors and the buildings as soon as I saw the puzzle. Even as I grabbed a couple of other puzzles to do first, my mind kept drifting back to this…
I miss my Camaro! In early 2001, I made an impulsive purchase of something I had always wanted, but knew my Dad would absolutely not approve of — he hated Chevy cars / trucks with a passion. He was a Ford guy through and through. Regardless, I decided a Camaro was in my future and absolutely fell in love with a very slightly used 1999 Royal Blue Camaro. It only had 8,000 miles on it when I signed the paperwork….
I picked up several Aquarius puzzles recently that I thought would be really fun and would look good framed for my kids’ rooms. A few weeks ago I pulled out the first one which I titled Marvel Superheroes Collage as it does not appear to have any other official title on the box. There was a second puzzle which I also bought that’s got the Marvel Super Villians pictured so I had to differentiate them somehow. I will start that…
My love of Stephen King began long before I became Penny Weiss. I was a young teenager when I picked up my first novel of his called Firestarter. While I enjoyed it, I wasn’t blown away by this author just yet. Next I read Carrie, and liked it quite a bit too. But it wasn’t until I watched the IT miniseries on TV in the late 80s that I truly began to see Stephen King for the genius that he…
This harder than it looks puzzle is finally finished. And after a thankfully short-lived freak out moment over a missing piece, I can put a checkmark on this one and get it glued for Derek’s room. The quality was superb, and I think this one is going to look awesome mounted on his wall. This also means one more thing — Around the World here I come! Woo hoo!!
This 1,000-pc. Buffalo Games puzzle puts up a good fight. It has been way more challenging than I thought it would be initially. The quality of the image and the fit has been top notch, and other than the small, 300 piece Wysockis’ I have done recently, it has been the best Buffalo puzzle I have done. Certainly wayyyy better than the piece quality of the 2000 piece Winterland Fun puzzle I did earlier this year by Aimee Stewart. I…
