KC and the Sunshine Band is a great 70’s disco band who have produced numerous awesome tunes over the years. This one being one of my favorites and it felt appropriate for the second part of the Freaky Shakes puzzle series. i liked these next two shakes quite a bit. Love the inverted ice cream cone on the one to the left. This shake makes me think of sherbert, and I can imagine the different flavors I ate as a…
“Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift is one of the few songs I don’t immediately switch XM satellite radio stations when it comes on. I don’t know why, but I’m just not a big fan of hers. Yes, I think she’s an incredibly smart business woman to make her career what it is today, and I’m totally aligned with her stance on our government, but that’s about where it ends for me. Some of you will be disappointed to hear,…
I’ve been writing up a lot of blog posts lately as I took multiple long breaks from the blog where I didn’t write anything about the puzzles I was doing. So now that I’m trying to be much better at regularly posting, I have a pretty large backlog of puzzles that I did, took pictures of (most of the time), and am now starting to add into the blog. As I’m doing this, a few patterns are emerging that I’m…
I love a good Dowdle puzzle every now and again. They are usually gorgeous and he has a great way of capturing people, and even though in most of his puzzles they’re tiny, you can usually still make out a lot of detail. I give him and Aimee Stewart a lot of credit for being able to create such tiny details in a puzzle image. They are both excellent artists in my opinion. Plus, it certainly makes for entertaining builds…
I love the Dog Days series by Buffalo Games and have done a ton of them and have a bunch more still in my To Do Mountain. Pizza Time Pups was a super fun image. Who doesn’t love a good pizza party? These cute little guys certainly seem like they are more than ready to start chowing down. The head chef being a Corgi makes me laugh as a dog with that short of legs would have a difficult time…
This puzzle was so bright and colorful! I just loved it and would have been happy to do it in a large piece count too. At only 300 pieces, the fun was over way too quickly. The jeweled colorings on each mandala was satisfying to assemble. I am really enjoying mandala themed puzzles lately and have also started enjoying the online adult coloring websites that also feature mandalas. Some of them are simply gorgeous and I will upload a couple…
Isn’t this puzzle adorable?! I am in love with Gary Patterson’s artwork! I have a couple of his dog and cat images and they are so cute and fun to assemble. I only wish this one had been in a much larger piece count, then I could have stretched out the joy a bit longer. As with most Eurographics puzzles I’ve done, the fit was great and the matte finish lovely. Because of the small size of this puzzle at…
My mother-in-law love giraffes. They are so graceful and elegant looking that I can certainly understand why she likes them so much. They really are a beautiful animal. So when I saw this gorgeous puzzle online and that it was “only” 500 pieces I thought let me get it for her and see if she will do the puzzle and I would offer to help her out if needed. She’s not really a puzzler, but she will on occasion help…
I did this puzzle years ago, way before it became one of the most common Speed Puzzling puzzles out there. I have seen it many times on various You Tube puzzlers’ channels that I like. While I certainly did not do this as a speed puzzle, it was a quick and easy build and one I was able to knock out in a single puzzling session. Having now been to London I can appreciate this image even more. We did…
This is definitely not a typical image for me, but I saw it online somewhere and my husband’s cousin loves gambling so I immediately thought of giving him this puzzle framed as a gift. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take a pic of it framed, but I do have a Stacey Stance pic, and really that’s all that matters anyway, right? Right! The puzzle was one of those no name brands from China with the letters on the back. I…
