In Progress — Lips
A lip-licking teaser of what is currently in progress on my puzzle board. Much more to come soon on this one….
Best Friends
When I initially put this puzzle in my shopping cart at Walmart a while back, I truly thought the adorable puppy on the right was a Boston Terrier which as most people know is my favorite dog breed. Apparently either my eye sight is worse than I thought, or I just didn’t pay as much attention because this is clearly not a Boston! LOL The nose is all wrong even though from a coloring standpoint, it looks similar. Luckily he…

Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to all my fellow friends, family, and blog readers. I hope your day is super special and spent with those you love the most! I am spending the day with the three most important people in my life — Randy, Derek and Cole. They are my everything. Unfortunately, I am unable to spend the day with my own mom (though equally as important in my life), but she is not far from my thoughts today and I…
2019 in Retrospect
As I sit here in my extremely empty office at work on the last day of 2019 with more time on my hands than work, I wanted to take a moment to reflect back on 2019 and what I accomplished as a puzzler and as a blogger. Here’s what I came up with: My single biggest accomplishment was FINALLY, after 8.5 years, finishing Educa’s 24,000 piece Life: The Great Challenge. While I only put together the final 3,000 pieces of…
My Personal Puzzle Fairy
I almost never receive puzzles as a gift for Christmas. I think it’s because my husband already thinks I have way too many as it is — as if that were even possible?!?! I have received a couple over the years from my SIL and several from my mom, but usually more for my birthday than Christmas. They clearly know how to be puzzle enablers — the hubs needs some work! LOL So for Christmas this year, I was delighted…
Happy New Year — 2016 is Gonna Be the ONE
Wow, it has been a really long time since I posted, I know. As usual, my life gets in the way of my puzzling time, and my blogging time. The holidays are finally over, and what a whirlwind it has been. My in-laws were here for a visit, and we also celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary while they were here. A house full of company is a lot of fun is also very TIRING! LOL Randy and I are still…

Organizing Page Coming Soon!
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!
Cooking / Recipes Page Coming Soon!
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).
