16,128 pieces assembled, 24,192 to go!

Section number 4 complete!  It didn’t take long at all today, there weren’t many pieces left.  I’m so proud of myself, this section was difficult!

So 15 days for this puzzle, not too shabby. It was a nice change after finishing Dumbo to have 4 larger characters to assemble instead of one huge character. The filmstrip is always fun, and because this is a corner there was twice as much filmstrip to assemble. This section was a challenge, but I still enjoyed it very much.

So, onto the next section – The Jungle Book. There’s a lot of green, but it’ll be a nice change from all the blue. 🙂 It won’t be a walk in the park either, but I still plan on having a great time assembling it. Besides, this one is my favorite Disney movie and I LOVE the music from it. It’ll be fun listening to the soundtrack while I work.

There are lots of plants and water, little splashes of color with the flowers, a very large rock and of course Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera. A beautiful image and I’m very excited to get going on it. And when The Jungle Book is complete I will be halfway done! WOW!

Birthday Party

Birthday Party – Puzzlebug- 500 pieces

Thrift store purchase. The quality was, uh, not up to snuff.  Yikes.  There were only 2 different piece styles and the thickness of the pieces was extremely thin.  The finish of the image was shiny and gave off quite a bit of glare.

Looking back on it, I’m surprised I even finished this puzzle.  The image isn’t one I would normally choose, and the quality was quite poor.  If someone gave it to me now I don’t think I would even start it.

Once it was completed we gave it away – lesson learned.  I am now a jigsaw puzzle snob (according to my mother) and this isn’t a brand I like or recommend.
