Cole ended up picking this one out after we took down the crappy Big Ben puzzle he and Derek had begged me to let them do next. I felt guilty as I had totally encouraged us to not move forward any further on that monstrosity. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this kid-themed puzzle. Everyone in my family loves Spiderman and we’ve seen all the movies many times over so I guess I should have expected it wouldn’t be…
I am loving this puzzle so much! I thought it looked like fun from the moment Stacey first showed it to me. Amazingly, it’s even more fun in person and in progress. I am sure I will have lots to say about this one when I am done building with lots and lots of pics too. The whole puzzle is so entertaining. And the best part? Randy has been hooked on this puzzle too and has worked a good chunk…
After the disaster that was Big Ben Times Square, I needed something fun and easy. Working on this one and already worlds better than the Big Ben puzzle. Matte finish — smallish pieces, but not bad. Super cute image. I look forward to showing the final results as soon as I get back from Texas.
Have you ever seen a puzzle that appears to have two titles? That’s what I ran into with this super cute Re-marks puzzle I finished last week. I always thought it was titled “Check Please” as that is what is written on the bottom right corner of the boxtop. Sounds reasonable, right? However, when I was almost done with the assembly I happened to look at the side of the puzzle box and noticed it had a different title altogther…
When I first started writing up this post today I really could not remember many details about the puzzle brand, or the title. It simply was another color puzzle I had in my Flickr photostream from a few years ago and which I had never posted about on here. It is amazing to me, even armed with such little information as I had, I was still able to find it on Google without too much effort. There are of course…
Isn’t this puzzle adorable? I thought so when I assembled it a year or two ago. I’m really loving the fact that I’m going back through all my completed puzzles and starting to post them on the blog now. Not only does it bring back good memories of doing a particular puzzle, I’m also discovering new things about own puzzle likes / themes. In a recent post I had mentioned discovering I’ve done a couple of really cute puzzles by…
This little 300-piece Ceaco puzzle was exactly what I needed recently. I had just quit on a Ravensburger Disney-Pixar Toystore puzzle that I was not liking at the time. Believe it or not, I thought it was too detailed, and I couldn’t find a big enough area to focus on which was driving me nuts. I put it away to try again later. As my puzzle friend Stacey says, “It was not the right puzzle at the right time.” I…
Isn’t this image adorable? I immediately fell in love the moment I first saw it. So cute! It’s a Re-marks puzzle and after having been working on a really crappy Big Ben puzzle with extremely thin and tiny pieces, these pieces feel thick and luxurious!
I don’t think I’ve ever “met” a Dominic Davison puzzle image I have not either loved or at least really liked. He is one of my all-time favorite puzzle artists. I have often picked up a puzzle in a store because I loved the image immediately only to discover after the purchase when I actually looked at the artist that it was one of his. I would then usually say to myself, well that makes sense because I love all…
The title alone on this puzzle makes me chuckle. I think most cats feel this way if they happen to live with a canine sibling. I’ve always said dogs have owners and cats have staff. It’s true though, most cats feel like you were put on this planet just to cater to their every whim — and only on their terms. Dogs love you unconditionally and just want to be close to you no matter where you are at the…
