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…
Another puzzle that I had on my wish list is crossed off, and I realized that I never added it to the blog…shame, shame, shame! I got this beauty from someone on Craigslist. She had done the puzzle herself and was looking to pass it on to another enthusiast – enter, me. I got it for a great price ($50 including shipping), and am quite happy about it. It will be quite some time before I get to this one…
This last week I received a couple of puzzles that I found used on Craigslist for a very cheap price. It turns out that Craigslist is an amazing place to find good deals on puzzles. You have to do a nationwide search of course as it’s unlikely that you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for if you only search your own local region, but I’ve found that most people are willing to ship their puzzle to you, even when you’re…
This puzzle is one that I fell in love with the first time I saw it. The colors are so vibrant and given that its a Ravensburger, I know this one will be a pleasure to put together. I couldn’t pass up the good deal I got on this puzzle from Craigslist. It was only $40 plus flat rate USPS shipping so not too bad. The puzzle is used, but appears to be complete and includes the poster. The seller,…
