How cute is this puzzle? I fell in love with it the moment I first saw it. There is just something very sweet about the whole image. I read to my kids before bed too so maybe that’s why I love so much. Huge Harry Potter fan too so absolutely loved the Harry Pawter book nod.

I don’t know why, but I love puzzles with trains. I’ve never been on one so not sure what my fascination is with them but I always love puzzles that have a train as one of the main focal points. The train in in this puzzle is more in the background and blends in with the rest of the buildings, but I still love it. It’s a Charles Wysocki as well which are always so much fun and easy to…

After opening the box and sorting through the pieces to pull out the edges, I saw…
Vintage Seed Packets (if I’m remembering the White Mountain Puzzle title correctly) was an extremely fun build. The old fashioned seed packets are so beautiful and colorful. This was another puzzle where I found myself saving the border for last as it’s all the peach colored frame and was much easier to place once I had the interior completed. Then it made the border quite quick and easy. When my mother in law saw this one she really loved it…
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.

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…
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,…
