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’……
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…
Cute, shaped mini puzzles from Cra-Z-Art.
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…
Wow, it has been a while since I posted anything on the blog. In fact, today is the first time in about one month that I even turned on my personal laptop. I’m 99% of the time in front of my work laptop, sitting at my desk or in front of my kids’ laptops helping them with their virtual lessons. It’s kicking my butt big time! The boys are winding down their first nine weeks of virtual learning for 5th…
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…

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,…
