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…
Today I am happy to announce that “Penny’s Jigsaw Blog” will now be known as “Puzzle Momma” and has it’s own dedicated domain at www.puzzlemomma.com! But don’t worry, if you still have pennysjigsawblog.blogspot.com bookmarked for this blog you will be redirected to the new site. I am very excited about the recent changes to the blog. These changes are allowing me to expand the scope and focus of the blog from just jigsaw puzzles to a much more broad spectrum…
Over the last few weeks, you may have noticed some changes on the blog – alright, yes, unless you’re blind, you noticed. LOL For quite some time now (a couple of years at least), I have wanted to make the blog feel a little more “puzzle themed”. Unfortunately, I could never find a blogger template that looked like what I was envisioning in my head. I wanted it to look like the blog of a jigsaw puzzle enthusiast – not…
In the almost four years that I’ve been doing this blog, I have had the opportunity and pleasure to meet a lot of wonderful people from all over the world. It’s always so much fun to talk with others who share the same passion for jigsaw puzzles that I do, and it also almost always turns out that we have lots more than just jigsaw puzzles in common. About a year or so ago I “met” Lani who is from…
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…
