I did this puzzle years ago, way before it became one of the most common Speed Puzzling puzzles out there. I have seen it many times on various You Tube puzzlers’ channels that I like. While I certainly did not do this as a speed puzzle, it was a quick and easy build and one I was able to knock out in a single puzzling session. Having now been to London I can appreciate this image even more. We did…
I love most Pixar movies and a good chunk of the Disney movies out there as well. Of course there was a long period before Iger came on as the CEO of Disney where they put out a bunch of crappy movies. But once Iger took over and formed the partnership with Pixar things took a big turn for the better. 😊 When I saw this adorable puzzle I thought — this one would be a lot of fun to…
I first saw this adorable image on Stacey’s My Jigsaw Journal blog and fell in love with it. I think this was one of the rare puzzles that she had already given to someone else so I was going to have to purchase it myself if I wanted to do it. It took me a long time to actually hit the purchase button as there were so many other puzzles out there I wanted even more — if you can…
Cozy Bathroom was the first puzzle I tried and completed in the Cozy Series and this was done several years ago. To say I loved it would be a bit of an understatement. This puzzle made me giddy with delight! It’s so vividly bright, colorful, and just all out adorable in my opinion. It was a quick and easy build with the added pleasure of being a typical, excellent quality Ravensburger image. I absolutely love the color palette in this…
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…
Manufacturer: Ravensburger Name: Eyes for Pies Series: Food Porn Artist / Photographer: Unknown Piece Count: 500 Piece Quality: Excellent New / Used: New Fit: Great; snug Assembly: Believe it or not, I am still a relatively NOVICE puzzler. Even though I have completed a puzzle with 24,000 pieces, it was just ONE puzzle. Overall, I have only done a very small handful so it might really surprise you to know that this puzzle was only my 3rd Ravensburger puzzle ever! …
In preparation for writing this blog entry, I went back and looked at two older posts, Life After “Life” and A New York State of Mind where I mentioned a bunch of puzzles that I wanted to get and do after I finished the Life puzzle. At the time I wrote the first one, back in May, 2013, I had none of the puzzles I mentioned wanting to get. Now, just over two years later, I have all of them except two! Wow…I didn’t…
Since January of this year, I have been drooling over a new 32,000 piece puzzle that Ravensburger announced they would release in the US in September. Of course, come September, some members of the German puzzle forum that I belong to, and one of my Flickr group friends had already gotten their copies. With a hefty price tag of about $300, I knew it would be quite some time before I was able to justify the cost to Randy…no matter…
I was starting to get frustrated that I wasn’t getting much time to spend on the Life puzzle because it’s difficult to tuck myself away in the puzzle room while Randy is upstairs in the family room watching TV. I want to work on the puzzle, but I also want and need to spend time with him too. So, I decided that since I can no longer work on this section upstairs in the family room easily, I would try…
I have always been in love with big city skylines, especially skycrapers, and building architecture in general for as long as I can remember. As a child I used to check out books from the library about skyscrapers, and from a very young age I dreamed of going to New York City – especially for my honeymoon. 3,000 pcs. – New York City – Educa 1,500 pcs. – New York City – Ravensburger Of course what I didn’t know growing…
