I finally got myself out of bed and back to work on a puzzle. I didn’t get much done, as I didn’t start until the late afternoon (and even took a nap after I started), but at least I put a few pieces together in the hopes of getting my mojo back.
It’s not a bad start, huh?
I hope today’s the day I finally get back to puzzling. It’s been more than 10 days now, it’s time to get a move on!
I had a good time with this one, I usually don’t see collages by Ceaco. This was another puzzle that my daughter suggested I buy when we were puzzle shopping together. She seems to know better than I do what I’ll enjoy assembling; perhaps I’ll have to take her with me on my puzzle quests more often. 😉
Fair quality, but pieces were on the thin side. The image was fun enough though that I wasn’t deterred.
With all the chocolatey and sugary snacks and cereals in this image (and in the stores), this was one of my favorites when I was younger. Mom used to shop at a store we kids called the “used bread store”, they had quite a lot of Hostess products and she used to buy a lot of these pies. I loved them warmed up. I haven’t seen these in any stores in quite some time, but this one made me feel a bit nostalgic.
This one went quickly, but for some reason it wasn’t as enjoyable as I’d hoped – or it could be that it was my state of mind and had nothing at all to do with the puzzle itself. Sometimes I just can’t tell.
Buzz was the most fun to assemble for me, but he was a bit of a challenge. I assembled him first.
I love Woody’s face, he always seems so surprised and happy. Those legs are so skinny though, how do they hold him up?
Interesting puzzle from a company I’ve never heard of before. I couldn’t find anything online about them either; they may not be in business still, I’m not sure.
Unfortunately it had a terribly mushy fit, but otherwise I found the quality of the pieces quite good. They were thick and had a good hand feel. The image seemed a little blurry, but I believe that was the nature of the artwork.
Apparently Bow Wow Meow is a pet supply store in South Walton; I just loved the name, very cute. 😉
The map portion of this puzzle was one of the most fun sections to assemble, although surprisingly I found the green section quite entertaining as well.
Overall the mushy fit was disappointing and did not make for a great first impression. I had high hopes for this puzzle because the chipboard used was very good, but the fit of the pieces made for a sometimes frustrating assembly.
