I have recently noticed my image “tastebuds” have kind of changed and evolved since I initially created the blog and started puzzling on a regular basis. Here’s what I mean… I have always been drawn to the big four image categories I’ve mentioned in previous posts — Christmas / wintery; dogs; cats; buildings as my go to images when considering a puzzle for purchase. I am still very drawn to those go to’s and I don’t see that changing much…
OK I have to admit — this is a bizarre puzzle that makes no sense to me! The breads represented here from an artwork standpoint are drawn well and are interesting, but what the heck do bread and the Zodiac signs have to do with one another? It’s not like the shape of the bread represents the animal / symbol for that particular sign. I don’t know. I really didn’t get it to be perfectly honest. What do you think?…
How cute is this little puzzle? If you said, it’s adorable, you would be right! LOL Stacey over at My Jigsaw Journal gave me this new, larger version of the Micropuzzles she really enjoys. I loved their images and thought most of them were super cute, but I did not like the tiny size of the pieces. The ones that came in the tube were just too small for me to enjoy working with. However, when Micropuzzles changed up their…
This puzzle took a little longer to put together than I was expecting, but it was absolutely worthwhile. It is a gorgeous image! The color saturation was phenomenal and the quality was great too. I loved working on this one so much and am really looking forward to doing the other Britto’s in my collection. Randy helped quite a bit with this one which was great as it was way trickier than I thought it would be when I first…
I really enjoyed putting this puzzle together. I’ve seen most of the shows showcased. Maybe not the entire series, but most certainly a handful of episodes at least. There are a ton of shows represented here that I watched as a kid, including some of my most beloved shows from the 80s like Family Ties, Three’s Company, Happy Days, Soap, Growing Pains, Different Strokes, One Day at A Time, and The Wonder Years (though I thought that had started in…
I have had a busy couple of week with work travel and other commitments getting in the way of my puzzling time. I wanted to post a little update on the Romero Britto puzzle though so that you can see I’m making progress. Well I guess I should say I’m making a little progress, and Randy is making a lot more. He seems to really be enjoying puzzle these days which is nice. Though, I don’t seem to get much…
For such a tiny puzzle (300 pcs), this one was soo much fun! I loved it from start to finish. I really like toasting marshmallows over an open campfire flame. It’s a lot of fun, and super delicious to eat too. This is one of those puzzles where I really wished it had been in a bigger size. I could easily see having tons of fun with a 1000 piece version. It is super cute. I think my absolute favorite…
Over the next few days, I am going to share some of my favorite You Tube puzzle content creators. This is a pretty recent discovery for me within the last year. I have never been a big You Tube watcher until about nine months ago when I discovered The Casual Puzzler You Tube channel. Prior to discovering Emilie @ The Casual Puzzler, I had only seen a couple of Karen Puzzles videos, but for some reason I just didn’t feel…
The 5th and final cereal cube puzzle is in the bag. Another cute Tucan Sam image that is really cute. Love the lime wedge and the cherry in this one. As you all know now from the many posts on this puzzle set, I really enjoyed them immensely. Next time I go to Ollie’s, I will be sure to see if they have added anymore of these. I could see them doing more Rice Krispies images and I’m sure they…
