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…
Manufacturer: White Mountain Puzzles Name: Lakeside Cottage Series: WMP 6-puzzle Steve Crisp boxed set Artist / Photographer: Steve Crisp Piece Count: 300 Piece Quality: Excellent New / Used: Used Fit: Excellent Assembly: This image was a lot harder than I expected! I absolutely loved doing the water and the cobblestone, but the rest wasn’t as easy as I would have thought for a mere 300 pieces! Another pretty Steve Crisp image, but I would not have wanted to do this…

For the last handful of years I have loved Romero Britto’s colorful and quirky pop artwork. He creates some of the most beautiful and funky images I have ever seen. A friend of mine first introduced me to him, and I immediately started noticing his artwork everywhere. I have a Britto coffee mug, a spoon rest, and even a little coin purse. I have also seen Britto’s images on a bunch of puzzles, and have always wanted to get one,…
There aren’t many things I love more than an Aimee Stewart puzzle. Who can resist her brilliant use of bright, happy colors and seriously fun images? I know I can’t! As usual this one did not disappoint either. The fit was tight, and even allowed me to take a picture of the puzzle the way my good friend Stacey does. This one is for you! The quality of this 300 piece Buffalo puzzle was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the…
Manufacturer: Vermont Christmas Company Name: Play Room Series: None Artist / Photographer: Mark Gregory Piece Count: 100 Piece Quality: Excellent New / Used: New Fit: Excellent Assembly: This was the second in an order of three 100 piece puzzles I recently ordered from Vermont Christmas Company. I absolutely love these puzzles. The quality is amazing, and the thickness of pieces as well as the smooth non-glare finish feel great in your hands. Of the three I ordered this was probably…
