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…

Manufacturer: Trefl Name: St. Peter’s Basilica – Vatican City, Italy Series: None Artist / Photographer: Unknown Piece Count: 1000 Piece Quality: Excellent New / Used: New Fit: Great; very snug Assembly: I was pleasantly shocked when I received this beautiful puzzle from my husband for Christmas a couple of years ago.

This harder than it looks puzzle is finally finished. And after a thankfully short-lived freak out moment over a missing piece, I can put a checkmark on this one and get it glued for Derek’s room. The quality was superb, and I think this one is going to look awesome mounted on his wall. This also means one more thing — Around the World here I come! Woo hoo!!
This 1,000-pc. Buffalo Games puzzle puts up a good fight. It has been way more challenging than I thought it would be initially. The quality of the image and the fit has been top notch, and other than the small, 300 piece Wysockis’ I have done recently, it has been the best Buffalo puzzle I have done. Certainly wayyyy better than the piece quality of the 2000 piece Winterland Fun puzzle I did earlier this year by Aimee Stewart. I…
This snarky collage puzzle of Suzy Toronto artwork makes me smile. I loved doing it, and when I first purchased it at Goodwill, it reminded me of my puzzling friend and fellow blogger, Stacey. She not only loves collages, but is also wild over being able to spell lots of words in her puzzles. So, when I finished this one, I immediately shipped it over to her. It turned out to be an incredibly sentimental one for her so I…
Isn’t this the cutest and most adorable owl? I absolutely love it and had a ton of fun putting this together. It was not nearly as difficult as I feared it would be given the craziness of the image. I started with the yellow eyes first on this one as they were the most obvious standout pieces. It really came together pretty quickly and I was very pleased to see this Goodwill find was complete.
