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…

When I initially put this puzzle in my shopping cart at Walmart a while back, I truly thought the adorable puppy on the right was a Boston Terrier which as most people know is my favorite dog breed. Apparently either my eye sight is worse than I thought, or I just didn’t pay as much attention because this is clearly not a Boston! LOL The nose is all wrong even though from a coloring standpoint, it looks similar. Luckily he…
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,…
The latest box from Penny’s puzzle fairy.
From the moment I first laid eyes on this puzzle I knew I had to have it. Not only because it is an adorable Mickey and Minnie Disney themed puzzle, but because the happy couple is pictured touring a country near and dear to my heart – Italy. Randy and I spent the 10 glorious days of our honeymoon visiting these very same areas. We stayed in Pisa one night after visiting the tower….we took a gondola ride in Venice…
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…
