Yeti for 2022 – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

The first completed puzzle of the new year! It was loads of fun to assemble, and the surprise image on the back with the year 2022 was very cool – loved this puzzle. Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🥳🎉

Vortex Spiral Tunnel – Wentworth (Mini Mindful) – 40 pieces

The image here was very cool, but it made for a more difficult assembly than I’d bargained for. Good thing that a challenge doesn’t always scare me away – it was fun!

Schmetterling! – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

Isn’t this a beautiful little puzzle? Hubby got a little upset that I took it out of the bathroom and finished it – he was having so much fun with it and was trying to make it last. Oops!

Focus by Karen Bloomfield – Mr. Bob Puzzles – 40 pieces

This was my first mini puzzle from Mr. Bob Puzzles, and it was exactly challenging enough to keep my mind sharp while I was in bed and unable to sit at the puzzle table. Very good quality too!

Geometric by Josie Lewis – Buffalo – 500 pieces

I love this image, but it was way more difficult than I bargained for and did not enjoy the assembly. There was nothing wrong quality-wise, it just wasn’t fun to put together. At least not for me.

Dogs Rule by Janna Krupinski – Buffalo – 300 pieces

Quick and entertaining puzzle sent to me by a friend. Just what I needed after a not so entertaining 500 piece from the same brand. Adorable dog faces always make me smile.

Playful Parrots – Unidragon – 291 pieces

Beautiful colors and an interesting cut with lots of whimsy pieces made this a fun puzzle to assemble. I had some issues with the quality, but it was sent to me by a friend – and I truly appreciated being able to assemble it. Thanks Nicola!

Classic Movies – Re-marks – 1000 pieces

My son and I put this one together in about two and a half hours, we had the best time! The fit was very loose, but we got through it just fine. He talked about movies the ENTIRE time – it’s a good thing my tolerance and patience for being talked at has been honed for many years. LOL

Clever Women are Dangerous Too by Joe de Mers – Clementoni – 500 pieces

I absolutely adored this assembly, isn’t it a wonderful puzzle image? Not your usual cottages, cats, or landscapes and I loved it!

Look After Your by Lauren Altes – Mr. Bob Puzzles – 201 pieces

Such a wonderful piece of artwork for breast cancer awareness – but it went by way too quickly! It was great fun for a great cause. Loved it❣

Bliss & Flowers in a Bad Vase by Jim Tsinganos – Mr. Bob Puzzles – 40 pieces each

New acrylic puzzles sent to me by Mr. Bob himself to try out – very cool! Great quality and absolutely beautiful images by Jim Tsinganos.

Tropical – Re-marks – 500 pieces

Great puzzle image that unfortunately didn’t have great quality. It must have been near the end of a run, because there was a huge amount of puzzle dust and the fit was extremely loose. Oh well. Still fun to put together though.

China Cupboard by Ciro Marchetti – Ravensburger – 1000 pieces

Beautiful digital artwork that along with excellent quality made for a wonderful puzzle experience. I had even more fun assembling this than I thought I would.

Moon Fairy by Garry Walton – MasterPieces – 300 pieces

Quick puzzle I put together in bed on a Saturday. The colors are beautiful and I got an excellent glow in the dark picture too!

Blacklight Bowling by Aimee Stewart – Buffalo – 1000 pieces

I received this puzzle as a gift last year, and it was so much fun to assemble – thanks so much Penny! Great colors, and so much little detail it made for a great time putting it together.

Winter Wonderland by Jen Cameron – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

A wintry puzzle for a chilly week we’ve had down here in Florida. Hubby and I really enjoyed this one – great colors!

Roz* – Brother Sister – 100 pieces

How can you not love that face? That serious, hilarious face! Cute little puzzle that I assembled in bed, good quality and an awesome image.

Dogs – Cavallini & Co. – 1000 pieces

Love this collage image, and it was very good quality too! My only issue is with the slippery backing – I couldn’t get a good picture of it. 😥

Bee Farm by Tom Wood – SunsOut – 300 pieces

Fun puzzle that was surprisingly good quality for a SunsOut puzzle. Slightly loose fit, but overall good quality. Love the image too.

Box of Buttons by Lori Jensen – Colorcraft Puzzles – 1000 pieces

New brand to me, and thankfully it was great quality! I enjoyed this one so much, but it wasn’t as easy as you might think. Great fun though, and that’s what counts.

1960s – Re-marks – 1500 pieces

Another great collage image of a decade – I enjoyed it very much! The quality was less than optimal, but it didn’t matter to me much; putting together each little section was so fun.

Stuart* – Re-marks – 100 pieces

Quick little palate cleanser after a 1500 piece puzzle, and this one is so damn cute! Loved it – and great quality too!

Rainbow Umbrellas by Lena – Buffalo – 300 pieces

Fun, colorful puzzle that was thoroughly engaging to assemble – exactly what I needed! Perfect puzzling image if you ask me.

Dog Selfies by Howard Robinson – Cra-Z-Art – 500 pieces

I love a dog puzzle, and a puzzle with 12 separate mini dog puzzles is even better! Excellent images by Howard Robinson, and the puzzles were great fun.🐶
