Snowmen Caroling

Snowmen Caroling

i had a great time with this puzzle. I absolutely loved the colors, and it went together very well. I know this is not Christmas puzzle season, but I am trying to write about all my completed puzzles that have been sitting around on my phone’s image gallery for, in come cases, years. This Springbok was their typical snug fit and wonky pieces. It always takes me a little bit to wrap my head around their random cut, but once…

Cozy Bathroom

Cozy Bathroom

Cozy Bathroom was the first puzzle I tried and completed in the Cozy Series and this was done several years ago. To say I loved it would be a bit of an understatement. This puzzle made me giddy with delight! It’s so vividly bright, colorful, and just all out adorable in my opinion. It was a quick and easy build with the added pleasure of being a typical, excellent quality Ravensburger image. I absolutely love the color palette in this…

Delicious Donuts

Delicious Donuts

I absolutely loved this puzzle! It was so much fun and the appropriately titled puzzle certainly made me crave a donut…or several. LOL I had never done a Think 2 Master puzzle before so the brand was new to me, and I’m sure it was produced in China like so many other unknown brands, but the fit and image quality on this one were fantastic. If I recall correctly (as it’s been a few years since I did it), the…

Literary Puppies

Isn’t this image adorable? I had so much fun putting this puzzle together and my youngest son Cole even helped. He did not want me to “touch his dog” that he had picked out to work — the white poodle on the bottom left panel. LOL This was one of those sketchy Chinese brands that while they have really cute images, you often wonder if the quality will be there, and you know you’ll have paper thin pieces as well….

Don’t You Forget About Me

Don’t You Forget About Me

Well hello there! I don’t know if anyone will see this post other than Stacey maybe as I have been such a crappy blogger for the last five years at least, but I’m here now and am going to try to be a little more present in the blogging world. You may be wondering why I have been gone so long and I could come up with a laundry list of excuses, and ironically doing laundry every weekend is on…

Vintage Halloween by Finchley Paper Arts

Vintage Halloween by Finchley Paper Arts

I knew this puzzle would be a lot of fun when I first saw it on one of my FB puzzle groups. Sure enough, I was right. It was a ton of fun! The vintage pictures of children from a long gone era were sweet and adorable, and the level of detail and quality of the image were also pretty wonderful. This was a new brand for me — even though they’ve been around a long time and I’ve got…

Evening in Paris

Evening in Paris

The sharpness of the puzzle image; the smooth linen finish of the pieces; and the satisfying way the pieces fit together — all signs of a classic Ravensburger puzzle. This gorgeous image was a thrill from beginning to end and I plan to frame and hang it up in my downstairs guest bedroom. For this one I started with the border as it was pretty quick and easy to figure out. From there I assembled most of the lower section…

Retro Fun

I was so excited for this puzzle when I ordered it recently on White Mountain Puzzles website. I am always a sucker for a good collage and they are the king of collage puzzle makers (at least IMHO). This particular puzzle features shows and pop culture items from a bygone era. In fact, I told my husband when I started the puzzle that I wish we could keep the technological and scientific advances we enjoy today, but go back in…
