Manufacturer:  Buffalo Name:  Donut Worry, Be Happy Series:  N/A Artist / Photographer:  Lars Stewart Piece Count:  300 Piece Quality:  Excellent New / Used: New Fit:  Excellent Assembly: I had so much fun building this delicious puzzle. I could smell the sweet frosting and the heavenly aroma of freshly brewed coffee while doing this one, and it made the build all that much “sweeter”. I loved it. For those who don’t know, Lars Stewart is the husband of my absolute favorite…

I picked up several Aquarius puzzles recently that I thought would be really fun and would look good framed for my kids’ rooms. A few weeks ago I pulled out the first one which I titled Marvel Superheroes Collage as it does not appear to have any other official title on the box. There was a second puzzle which I also bought that’s got the Marvel Super Villians pictured so I had to differentiate them somehow. I will start that…

I fell in love with this puzzle the moment I first saw it for several reasons. FIRST reason being it totally reminds me of my Momma. Growing up, she and I spent countless hours baking together. Anything from cookies to fruit and chocolate pies, cakes, and even jam! SECOND reason — the handwritten recipes totally look like they could have been hers. THIRD reason — these rustic teaspoons and cookie sheet — they look just like the ones we had!…

My love of Stephen King began long before I became Penny Weiss. I was a young teenager when I picked up my first novel of his called Firestarter. While I enjoyed it, I wasn’t blown away by this author just yet. Next I read Carrie, and liked it quite a bit too. But it wasn’t until I watched the IT miniseries on TV in the late 80s that I truly began to see Stephen King for the genius that he…

Animal Selfies – Part 4

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’……

Around the World: Laying it All Out

For the first time this last weekend, I laid out all the boards I have at least started on the Around the World puzzle build. There are a total of 42 boards, each one containing 1,000 pieces. Some of these boards do not have pieces assembled on them yet as I have only been working on skyscraper buildings. My kids were “dying” to help me post a new You Tube video since they think it’s awesome I have 13 subscribers…

I never thought I would see the day that I, of my own freewill, decided to give up one (or more) of my big, mega puzzles. However, recently I discovered after re-organzing my puzzle closet that I have way more than enough puzzles to keep me busy, including three other super mega puzzles (and who knows how many more to come in the future) for the next 50+ years at least. I lovingly pulled out four of my first big…
