Day 2’s puzzle image was definitely a bit more challenging than Day 1. The colors are darker and because I assembled this one at night, I found it a little more difficult to finish than the cute Santa from the day before. This image reminds me of my childhood in that I ALWAYS wanted to check the mail. I dreamed of opening the box and finding small packages like these hidden inside just waiting for me to open the door….
I found the most adorable box set of puzzles at Kohl’s recently. They are all Christmas themed of course and there is an individual box to open for each of the 12 days. Caeco is the maker of this one and the quality is great. The fit is pretty snug and I can pick up the entire puzzle without it falling apart. Day # 1’s puzzle was a very cute Santa Claus holding gifts for some lucky recipient. I love…
Saw this adorable little face and had to get it. This is a small, 100-piece puzzle so it did not take long at all to complete. I think this may be my first Re-marks puzzle and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pieces fit together tightly and I was able to pick up the entire puzzle and stand it on end. Always love it when I can do that. ? As I have said before, I love Boston Terriers since I…
This was the second puzzle I recently picked up at Hobby Lobby from a company called Brother Sister Design Studio. I had pretty low expectations as I had never heard of this company, and even when I opened the first one, Pretty in Pink, I thought the pieces seemed a little bit thin. However, I was soon pleasantly surprised as the pieces fit together so nicely. When I opened Santa Paws for a quick puzzle fix a few nights ago,…

Isn’t this the cutest and most adorable owl? I absolutely love it and had a ton of fun putting this together. It was not nearly as difficult as I feared it would be given the craziness of the image. I started with the yellow eyes first on this one as they were the most obvious standout pieces. It really came together pretty quickly and I was very pleased to see this Goodwill find was complete.
My kitchen is decorated with chefs. I have several sprinkled around the top of my cabinets, with a few plaques on the wall as well. I found this cute little 3-puzzle series and thought — wow, these will be perfect in my kitchen. They were a lot of fun to assemble. At only 300 pieces each they were easy to knock out. I especially love the expression on the chef who is proudly holding up the entire big salad bowl…
