Go West Young Bostonian!

Go West Young Bostonian!

Saw this adorable little face and had to get it. This is a small, 100-piece puzzle so it did not take long at all to complete. I think this may be my first Re-marks puzzle and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pieces fit together tightly and I was able to pick up the entire puzzle and stand it on end. Always love it when I can do that. ? As I have said before, I love Boston Terriers since I…

New Puzzle Day — 12/9/19

Wow! It is December already! Where did this year go?! I forgot to write up a post for the puzzles I got this week so making up for it now. Here are my most recent purchases. I cannot think of too many things I love more than new Puzzle Day. It is always a pleasurable one. I love the library looking one on the bottom and the delicious candy one the best, but I think they will all be fun!

Around the World: Making Progress

Around the World: Making Progress

Over the last couple of weeks between cleaning and hosting Thankgiving, I have been sorting and sorting and….well, you get the idea. I have to say — 42k pieces is no joke! It has been fun, but with as much sorting as I have done, and knowing I am only halfway through the big mixed container it is a bit daunting. I know I will get there, but jeez louise it doesnt feel like it’s ever going to end. LOL
