1980s Novels – Re-marks – 1000 pieces

Great puzzle with lots of books that I’ve read and enjoyed. So much fun!

Puzzler’s Desk by Steve Read – Hua Cao Shu Mu – 300 pieces

Horrible quality puzzle that I very much did not enjoy assembling. Oh well. I’ve learned my lesson now, and even if it’s at the thrift store I will NOT be buying this brand again ever.

Garden Shed* – Hua Cao Shu Mu – 300 pieces

Another horrible puzzle from this brand. But on the bright side they’re all done now and safely placed in the recycling bin. Well, maybe not “placed”, perhaps thrown with some force. Maybe. 😈

Music Mania by Marc Arundale – Wentworth – 40 pieces

Fun little puzzle that was harder than it looks! Great quality with an interesting image, and lots of concentration was required to complete it.

The Circus Comes to Town by Jan Dedman – Mr. Bob Puzzles – 40 pieces

I wish I’d enjoyed this one more, but I just didn’t – I have no real explanation why. Perhaps I was just in the wrong mood.

The Pinwheel Gator by Alex Beard – Liberty – 512 pieces

FANTASTIC puzzle that was a joy to assemble from the first pieces to the very last. Such great whimsies to go along with a gorgeous image!

Aloe You Vera Much – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

Love this adorable image full of succulents, and it was the perfect puzzle to post for Valentine’s Day. So cute!

Tea for Two by Aimee Stewart – Wentworth – 176 pieces

GORGEOUS puzzle that was more challenging than I anticipated, but I still loved every piece. I adored this one!

Main Street by Joseph Holodook – Cra-Z-Art – 500 pieces

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these sets, and it was so entertaining! Loved all the little houses and shops and all the detail was amazing.

Distant Mountains by Bob Ross – Thunder Bay Press – 96 pieces

This was my first go at one of the puzzles in my “Happy Little Jigsaw Puzzle Book”, and it was actually much more entertaining and engrossing than I thought it would be. Super thin pieces, but the fit was very good, and it’s a beautiful image!

Teal Lake by Andy Russell – Milton Bradley (Big Ben) – 500 pieces

Gorgeous image by an artist whose work I haven’t assembled before. It wasn’t an easy puzzle, but I enjoyed it very much!

Balloon World by Royce B. McClure – Wentworth – 40 pieces

Such a bright, beautiful, colorful image – this one was lots of fun – and it had great whimsies too. Loved it.💖

Cardinal Glass by Cynthie Fisher – Big Ben (Luxe) – 500 pieces

This was a lovely image that should have been entertaining to put together, but the crappy fit made it frustrating and annoying to work with. I really wanted to like this one too.

Mojo by Kristian Adams – Artifact – 118 pieces

Cute little puzzle that was perfect for some uninterrupted puzzle meditation, and I loved every second it!

I Love Music by Charlie Girard – White Mountain – 1000 pieces

Great puzzle with the best White Mountain quality I’ve had in a long time. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would.
