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…

The Zodiac Signs as Bread

The Zodiac Signs as Bread

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?…

Monster Meet Up

Monster Meet Up

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…

Fruity Tucan Sam

Fruity Tucan Sam

The 5th and final cereal cube puzzle is in the bag. Another cute Tucan Sam image that is really cute. Love the lime wedge and the cherry in this one. As you all know now from the many posts on this puzzle set, I really enjoyed them immensely. Next time I go to Ollie’s, I will be sure to see if they have added anymore of these. I could see them doing more Rice Krispies images and I’m sure they…

This is the 4th puzzle I completed in the adorable cereal cube set I recently purchased at Ollie’s. I love how Tony the Tiger is drawn here. He looks cool and badass as the same time. LOL I was never a big fan of Frosted Flakes, even when I became an adult and could decide for myself which cereals I wanted to eat. Foot Loops was my go to and Honey Nut Cheerios and that was about it. I’m really…

The Saturday Morning Cartoon Trifecta

The Saturday Morning Cartoon Trifecta

My top three favorite cartoons to watch as a child were Scooby Doo, The Flinstones, and The Jetsons. Of course there were a small handful of others. like Tom and Jerry that I watched regularly too, but none of them compared to these three for me. When I saw this puzzle on Amazon one day I could not resist getting it. It was only 500 pieces so not a difficult build at all, plus all the detail in the image…

Snap! Crackle! Pop!

Snap! Crackle! Pop!

Rice Krispies were a staple of my morning breakfast routine growing up. As I mentioned in the recent Pretty Bird! post, I was not allowed to have any pre-sweetened, sugar-based cereals as a kid. So the original Rice Krispies that had no sugar was one to my go to cereal choices. Snap, Crackle, and Pop were cute little characters too and I enjoyed eating the cereal regularly. I went to Ollie’s Discount Store this last weekend and there was a…

Pretty Bird!

How cute is this puzzle? I went to Ollie’s Discount Store over the weekend and they had a boatload of puzzles. It took me more than 20 minutes just to go through all of them and select the ones I wanted most. Best of all, the most expensive puzzles there were only $7.99 for a 3000 piece puzzle (which I did not get) and the rest were marked at $4.99! What a great price, and they had lots of 300,…

Delightful Donuts

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…

Follow Your Nose

Follow Your Nose

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…
