I don’t know why, but I love puzzles with trains. I’ve never been on one so not sure what my fascination is with them but I always love puzzles that have a train as one of the main focal points. The train in in this puzzle is more in the background and blends in with the rest of the buildings, but I still love it. It’s a Charles Wysocki as well which are always so much fun and easy to…
Manufacturer: Vermont Christmas Company Name: Meet Me in Paris Series: N/A Artist / Photographer: David Maclean Piece Count: 550 Piece Quality: Good New / Used: New Fit: Loose Assembly: When I first saw this puzzle on Vermont Christmas Company’s website, I really liked it and because it was by one of my favorite puzzle artists, David Maclean, I put it in my cart immediately. After opening the box and sorting through the pieces to pull out the edges, I saw…
Vintage Seed Packets (if I’m remembering the White Mountain Puzzle title correctly) was an extremely fun build. The old fashioned seed packets are so beautiful and colorful. This was another puzzle where I found myself saving the border for last as it’s all the peach colored frame and was much easier to place once I had the interior completed. Then it made the border quite quick and easy. When my mother in law saw this one she really loved it…
Manufacturer: Buffalo Name: Donut Worry, Be Happy Series: N/A Artist / Photographer: Lars Stewart Piece Count: 300 Piece Quality: Excellent New / Used: New Fit: Excellent Assembly: I had so much fun building this delicious puzzle. I could smell the sweet frosting and the heavenly aroma of freshly brewed coffee while doing this one, and it made the build all that much “sweeter”. I loved it. For those who don’t know, Lars Stewart is the husband of my absolute favorite…
I fell in love with this puzzle the moment I first saw it for several reasons. FIRST reason being it totally reminds me of my Momma. Growing up, she and I spent countless hours baking together. Anything from cookies to fruit and chocolate pies, cakes, and even jam! SECOND reason — the handwritten recipes totally look like they could have been hers. THIRD reason — these rustic teaspoons and cookie sheet — they look just like the ones we had!…
Today is the final post in the Animal Selfies set of 12 puzzles by Cra-Z-Art that I have been blogging about recently. Each and every one of the puzzles was great fun to assemble and just hard enough to keep it from being boring. I love all (okay, well ALMOST all of the faces — sorry horses). For this final set, I chose my three favorites based on the shapes they include. I absolutely adore the gorgeous Orca in this…
I love dolphins! They are extremely intelligent, beautiful, elegant and graceful in the water. I even love the Miami Dolphins, though most of the time they are not nearly as intelligent or graceful as their mascots. LOL This selfie was so much fun to put together. Not only because of the adorable expressions on their faces, but also because Nemo, his dad and Dory are in it too! Ha ha What is not to adore about this precious selfie? Nothing,…
In the next installment of these adorable selfies we have cats and horses and birds — oh my! These sweet little faces make me laugh. I most especially love the bengal tiger looking one on the top. He is just adorable and I would love to have a real life version of this one. The orange tabby on the right makes me think he might be a few tea cups short of a full china cabinet. LOL I’m just sayin’……
Cute, shaped mini puzzles from Cra-Z-Art.
Never before have I seen a puzzle character that came with it’s own backstory, but for some reason (and I love it) this one did. This is what is on the back of the box — written by the artist perhaps? Ceaco? Though I’ve never seen them do that on other puzzles….hmmmm. GiGi lives with colors and patterns and her companion, FiFi, the mouse. She has a pet named CoCo who is a Scottish Terrier. GiGi is adventerous. She loves…
