Bold Spirit – Buffalo Games – 300 pieces

This is one of the Vivid Collection puzzles by Buffalo.  I don’t normally do 300 piece puzzles, but it was nice to start and finish a puzzle in such a short period of time!

This one was quite fun to do. It wasn’t a puzzle that you could look at a piece and see where it fit into the picture.  This was just color matching for the most part. Of course that’s basically what you do with every puzzle anyway.  The colors were bright and the finished image is really striking. It didn’t take much time at all with both my mother and I working on it.

Mom always finds the coolest puzzles at the thrift stores, and sometimes buys ones that we might not usually purchase – because they’re around 99 cents or so.  It’s nice to work a puzzle that you aren’t sure whether you’ll enjoy it or not and then be pleasantly surprised. If I saw this puzzle in a catalog or online it wouldn’t be one that would catch my eye; or if it did, I doubt I would have purchased it. But to my surprise I enjoyed putting this one together very much!

More general filling in today. Nothing to write home about.  Making progress a little at a time, but still enjoying myself.

Basically what I am now left with is all green.  Shades of green.  Lots and lots of green. That’s ok though, I knew what I was getting into. I can’t really say specifically what I’m doing next, other than it’ll be green – filling in where I can.

I’m only a week or so away from being halfway finished with this puzzle! I can’t believe it! And I thought it would be taking me more time, so I still haven’t figured out what in the world I’m going to do with it once it’s finished. Anyone have any suggestions? I don’t have a wall big enough to display it. Should I start a go fund me page for a new house with enough wall space to hang the giant puzzle on?  Probably not. 😐
