Let's Play Football
Let’s Play Football by Linda Picken – Karmin – 550 pieces

The first puzzle of the month wasn’t great quality, but my son asked me to assemble it, so how could I say no? Besides, there are so many thrift store puzzles here to get through, it’s best for someone to encourage me to assemble them. It’s an adorable image, but as for the puzzle itself I wouldn’t recommend it.

 

Archie Covers
Archie Covers – Cobble Hill – 500 pieces

After assembling the dog puzzle above, the bright colors and lots of words in this image was so entertaining! I adored this puzzle, I would love to do it in a higher piece count. Great image, and great quality from Cobble Hill.

 

Stacey & David
Stacey & David – Mr. Bob Puzzles – 651 pieces

My beautiful one-of-a-kind puzzle that hubby had made for me, for our anniversary this month. I think I’ll keep him. This puzzle is a lovely wooden puzzle that took me three days to finish. Three wonderful days – it’s fantastic!

 

Fancy Nancy
What’s a Fancy Girl to Do? by Robin Preiss Glasser – Briarpatch – 100 pieces

Ah, Fancy Nancy. I love her. Even though this thrift store puzzle has been assembled many, many times and is showing it’s age I still had a great time putting it together. Excellent fit, tons of fun glitter – I was entertained, which is what it’s all about!

 

Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping Beauty – Ravensburger – 1000 pieces

I adored this puzzle! The artwork (other than the faces) is gorgeous, the quality is fabulous, and overall it was a joy to assemble. I’d love to get my hands on the other collector’s editions that weren’t part of the Memorable Moments 40,320 piece puzzle!

 

Quilts
Quilts – Cobble Hill – 500 pieces

Beautiful puzzle with large pieces that was absolutely lovely to assemble. I do so love puzzles with quilts. 💝

 

Call of the Sea
Call of the Sea by Josephine Wall – Anatolian – 260 pieces

Josephine Wall’s artwork makes for stunning but extremely difficult puzzles – I decided to make it easier on myself and got this beautiful image in a very small piece count. It was still difficult! 🙂

 

I revisited this puzzle and these gorgeous shoes; they make fabulous little puzzles, but I fear if I tried to walk in any of these actual shoes I would most definitely break bones! They’re such fun to assemble though, I loved them the second time around too.

 

Ernest
Ernest by Jeff Foxworthy – Cardinal – 300 pieces

I saw that this image was painted by Jeff Foxworthy, and I loved the comedy of it. It was a Cardinal puzzle, so the quality was fair, but fun nonetheless.

 

Boston Cowboy
Boston Cowboy – Re-marks – 100 pieces

Such a cute picture! It was a quick fun puzzle that was a little bit harder than I thought it would be. At only 100 pieces sometimes I get a little cocky and think it’ll be super easy, that’s not always the case.

 

Snail Mail
Snail Mail – Re-marks – 300 pieces

This was my first puzzle back after many days with absolutely no puzzling at all. This beautiful collage was the perfect puzzle to start with.
