The Golden Girls – Cardinal – 300 pieces

I was hoping to enjoy this puzzle. I like the image very much, and got it from the thrift store a few days before Betty White’s death; she was an amazing talent. Unfortunately though, the quality of this puzzle was very much sub-par. At least we knew Betty was a class act of amazing quality. 💗

Gone Fishing by Jen Cameron – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

Great little puzzle! It was more challenging than hubby thought it would be, but he ended up enjoying it and even told our daughter that “it is hard but we’re having fun”. Very good quality too.

Words of Wisdom by Steve Cameron – White Mountain – 1000 pieces

Fun and easy puzzle that took very little time to assemble. It’s cool looking though, and I enjoyed myself. Some of the words of wisdom were tired old clichès, but some were cute ones I’d never seen before.

(American Girl) Josefina – Mattel – 150 pieces

Interesting set of three 50 piece puzzles from Mattel, they came with a plastic frame to display one puzzle at a time. Good quality puzzles, and I enjoyed putting them together.

Isis by Kinuko Y. Craft – Ceaco – 550 pieces

Pretty puzzle image, but not really my cup of tea. My youngest son picked this out for me to do next, and so I did. It was ok, and put together quickly (so I could get it over with 😉)

You Wild Animal! by Mario Zucca – Ravensburger – 1000 pieces

I absolutely adored the challenge of this puzzle, and the animals are drawn so interestingly – so much fun! I wish there was another puzzle with art from Mario Zucca here, it would be the next one to be assembled for sure.

Edward Gorey’s Book Covers – Pomegranate – 1000 pieces

Although I was disappointed that Pomegranate’s quality seems to have declined I still thoroughly enjoyed putting this puzzle together. Great collage!

Tour the States by Craighton Berman – Buffalo – 300 pieces

Fun and quick puzzle that was pretty much done in just a few sittings in one day. I loved the bright, fun colors and the images of something representing each state. Great quality too!

Candy – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

We took our time with this micro puzzle, almost three weeks! It was a difficult image, but we both enjoyed the challenge very much. The bright colors of the candy didn’t make it as easy as hubby had hoped, but we still loved it.

Great American Novels – Re-marks – 1000 pieces

This one went together too fast, I wish it had been more difficult. The hardest part was laying out all the pieces. It would have been more fun for me if there had been less books, and each one was bigger. Oh well, we can’t always have what we want, can we?

Peanuts (Snoopy) by Charles Schulz – Vista Puzzles – 100 pieces

Great puzzle that was made even more fun with the help of my youngest son. I had an excellent time!

Queen of Hearts (Villainous) – Ravensburger – 1000 pieces

This was my first Villainous puzzle, and other than the difficult border it was great fun! It was excellent quality, and the image reproduction was fabulous – it made for a wonderful time assembling it.

Frenchie – de.bored puzzles – 500 pieces

Of course I love this puzzle image, look at that sweet face! I enjoyed this puzzle very much, and the colored geometrical backing was really fun too. The pupper itself was a challenge, but it makes for an entertaining puzzle. Good quality too!

Dogs with Jobs by Eloise Narrigan – Galison – 500 pieces

Cute puzzle image! And the artist’s imagination in creating jobs for each breed is hilarious – plumber, meteorologist, etc. Even though the brand isn’t a favorite this was still an enjoyable puzzle.

Let’s All Go To The Lobby! – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

Fantastic puzzle with a 3D image on it that came with 3D glasses too! I put this one together by myself, and had a great time. I’m proud of myself for deciding to finally spend some money on something I wanted and that the subscription box I receive each month brings me much joy!

Hot Cocoa by Charlie Girard – White Mountain – 1000 pieces

My last puzzle of the month was a fun one that went very quickly. It was a very good quality White Mountain, I was happily surprised – it had possibly the best fit that I’ve ever had with this brand – and I’ve done a lot of White Mountain puzzles!
