This page will focus on another hobby of mine – organizing. I love to organize things and take before / after pictures. Making things look nice and neat is a lot of fun and very rewarding. I will be on a mission this fall to get my house completely organized from the top down. Wish me luck, and follow along!
This page is where I will be posting recipes and sharing tips / techniques and instructions on some of the recipes that my husband and I love to make. We are both into cooking. As of right now, he is the main entree cook (I play sous chef), and I do all the baking and most of the breakfast type meals (he plays sous chef here when I need it).
I don’t know why, up until this very moment, I have never shared something that has become a big part of my puzzling life – the Flickr Big Puzzle Group that I belong to! I found this group through Tom of sexdrugsandjigsawpuzzles.com fame, and I have been hooked ever since. Basically it is a group of like minded people (in this case those who love to assemble large jigsaw puzzles) from around the world who come together through this group…
Hi everyone! I am currently working on changing the look / feel / layout of the blog. During the process some links and areas may not work exactly right, but don’t worry, I’ll get it fixed shortly. Please bear with me!
This week I was contacted by Baffledazzle about an exciting new puzzling project on Kickstarter. Baffledazzle puzzles take solvers on an adventure, leading them to discover something new and interesting about the world around us. Their goal is to deliver the feeling of exploration and discovery in a box, and to make visual and tactile information part of the learning experience. Hundreds of wood, acrylic, or felt puzzle pieces start you off. You start to gather clues from the piece…
As I mentioned in the last post, I finished Section 2 on Sunday evening, and last night I was so anxious to work on something puzzle related that I pulled out my 2,000 piece Vegas, Baby puzzle that I had started back in 2009 before we moved from our first house in Lake Mary, FL. It was one of the first puzzles I bought and started working on after getting my first puzzle roll. I had completed about 50% of…
They were both Christmas presents for my son, Derek this year. He desperately wants to help me with my Life puzzle, but Mommy is still a little gun shy on letting him help with that one just yet. So, instead we worked on two puzzles together this week. The first one, a Peanuts theme featuring Snoopy was 35 pieces, and almost made me want to go camping – not quite though! LOL The other one, Spiderman with friends and foes,…
Earlier this week, I was contacted by Mike from the Jigamajoy Company of Pine Brook, New Jersey, who has created a very unique product that combines standard playing cards and jigsaw puzzles into a really interesting puzzling experience. A few formats have several different ways to solve each puzzle and some even have math questions to help kids put the puzzle together correctly. Huh? Who would have thought of combining these two seemingly unrelated aspects of “gaming”, but it seems…
I get a lot of catalogs. Catalogs for clothes…catalogs for kids stuff…catalogs for things I would never buy in my lifetime. However, catalogs for home decor are my favorite I have bought more home decor stuff through catalogs than any other catalog item. Most of the time I just glance at them and toss because I just can’t buy everything I like or I’d have to move out of my house to make room for all the stuff!. LOL But…
I have had this blog for over three years now and I am finally starting to actually look into optimizing the blog to gain more followers. It is simply amazing to me how much thought and work goes into making a blog successful. There are so many ways you can go about increasing your followers that it can be a little bit overwhelming. So this week I have been doing a bunch of research on best ways to do this….
