It’s Monday, and I’m feeling like it’s a Monday. And all that’s left on the puzzle I’m currently working on is the “Monday” tediousness of the background. Ugh, Monday.

Review: God’s Comfort
This is a beautiful image, and a very good quality puzzle. This was the first puzzle I assembled after mom passed, and I was worried that puzzling without her would be too difficult emotionally. I was happily surprised that once I started the actual assembly, my “puzzle brain” took over and I was engrossed with the picture and the pieces. I’m not usually someone who enjoys photographic puzzles, but I found this one both entertaining and calming.
FairHope Promise Puzzles is a subscription service where you get a new puzzle every month with a 30 day devotional included; but it seems you can also just purchase the puzzles without the subscription by clicking here. Their catalog is small, but they do have some interesting and very pretty images. They also make and sell a variety of other Christian themed items, including greeting cards and music cds.
The quality was very good – the pieces are a good thickness with a nice variety of shapes and they fit together extremely well. The image reproduction is beautiful, with lovely bright colors; though the finish is somewhat shiny. There weren’t many dark areas in the puzzle though, so the shiny pieces weren’t too difficult under artificial light. In addition, each puzzle includes a poster to help with assembly, which I love. My eyesight is getting worse by the day it seems, and having the poster as a reference definitely helps!
I enjoyed this assembly very much, and it was an excellent choice for the very first puzzle I did after losing mom. Although I know these puzzles won’t appeal to everyone who reads the blog – we puzzlers are a wonderfully varied group – for those who might be interested I can definitely recommend these puzzles. 👍

I received this product at no cost in order to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are truthful and 100% my own.
Spring Tulips
To be perfectly honest, I don’t remember much about this assembly. It was about three months ago that I completed this puzzle, and the most I can remember is that it was enough of a challenge that it didn’t seem like a 300 piece count puzzle.
It was about average Ceaco quality, although I do find that their 300 piece puzzles tend to be a little better quality-wise than their larger piece counts.
I enjoy the artwork of Marjolein Bastin, she does nature very well. And her puzzles look like they’d be a snap to assemble, but usually are much more challenging than they look!
Instruments/Band
Here’s another one from the big box with ten double-sided 24 piece educational kids puzzles. They are excellent quality, with interesting pictures, and nice fit. I not ashamed to say I enjoy putting them together even if it only takes a couple of minutes from start to finish.
Here’s the reverse side…
Sometimes I like to take them apart and reassemble the back side, and sometimes I’m lazy as bleep and I just flip it over to take the picture. This time? Lazy. 🤷♀️
On The Board Today…
I’m working on the second of two Cloudberries puzzles, and it is much more challenging than Pixels was. But the quality is wonderful and the image is so fun that the challenge is entertaining rather than frustrating.
The white background means that most of the edge pieces are all white, I didn’t even try to put the edge together first; this is one of those puzzles where the edges go on last. It seemed a little odd at first, but the image itself has to lead the assembly. Usually if I try to make a plan I end up having to change it once I look at the pieces and see what jumps out at me.
I’m having a great time with it!
