Manufacturer: Sure-lox? Name: Soda Caps Series: Part of a 6-pack of puzzles box Artist / Photographer: Unknown Piece Count: 300 Piece Quality: Good – laid flat when assembled New / Used: New Fit: Good Assembly: This was probably my second favorite in this big box of six puzzles I picked up from WalMart a few years ago. Cinque Terre was my first favorite, but this one was a lot of fun to assemble too. Like my friend and fellow puzzle…
Manufacturer: Unknown Name: Superheroes Unite (my own title) Series: None Artist / Photographer: Unknown Piece Count: 24 Piece Quality: Fantastic New / Used: New Fit: Great Assembly: This is one of the best constructed foam children’s puzzles I’ve ever seen. The pieces are so thick and the way the image is printed and attached to the foam backing is great. Cole and I both love this puzzle and we always have a race to see who can finish first. The…
Manufacturer: White Mountain Puzzles Name: Winter Village Stream Series: 6-in-1 boxed set Artist / Photographer: Unknown Piece Count: 300 Piece Quality: Very good New / Used: New Fit: Excellent Assembly: This was the first of a 6 in 1 holiday collector’s box of varying size puzzles by White Mountain Puzzles. The quality was good, and the pieces had a nice thickness. I believe this was another one I was able to stand up for a second without puzzle glue or…
Another one of my son Cole’s favorite puzzles is this adorable 63 piece puzzle of Olaf dressed in a rather cute, wine colored “Christmas Tree Sweater”. I cannot count the number of times we have assembled this one together, and Cole has even done it several times all on his own. He and Derek both loved the movie Frozen, and also really liked seeing the recently released Frozen II. The quality of this one is really nice, and because I…
Children’s 24 piece Scooby Doo puzzle.
One of Derek’s holiday gifts this year was a puzzle. I will admit, I did have an ulterior motive for getting this for him – and I am sure you have no idea what that might be, right?! ? Basically, he loves the movie but has almost zero interest in doing puzzles and I have zero interest in the movie, but…well, you see where I am going with this. HEE HEE So when I saw this cute little 300 piece…
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…
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…
When I started this cute Christmas set, I had intended to do a write up for one puzzle per day on the blog for 12 days straight. As usual, this Puzzle Momma got bogged down with real life events due to the holidays and our travel plans to Atlanta. Now Christmas is officially behind us and I am trying to play catch up. Therefore, I will group days 8 through 12 into one longer post. Day 8 was probably my…
This puzzle is very cutesy. Until my friend Stacey pointed it out I never thought about it, but she is right. Most Christmas images are of a very similar type — Santa, a fireplace, lots of wrapped and unwrapped presents strewn about, and is almost sickningly sweet. It made me think of what I like in a Christmas image and I realized I do prefer ones that are a little bit different too and not always the typical ones. I…
