You Are Here – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

This gorgeous, colorful and serene-looking image was in July’s subscription box, and my daughter picked it out for us to assemble together. It was quite difficult; the painterly style and less than optimal lighting in the bathroom made for a challenging assembly. There were quite a few times when I put pieces wrong, but luckily they did not quite fit correctly and I could see my errors.

The image isn’t one I would normally choose to puzzle, but it was more engrossing than I anticipated, and the sense of accomplishment I felt once it was complete was rather nice.

I’m very much looking forward to our next subscription box – what could be in store for us this month?

Tube-tastic – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

This little thing was MUCH more difficult than anticipated, I was constantly putting pieces in the wrong places! I thought the image would be fun (it was) and wouldn’t take too long (it did); but no matter, the challenge got me motivated to finish it and it was enjoyable the whole way through.

Normally I don’t have to use the image on the tube these puzzles come in – but for all the little scribbles on the paper it definitely helped to have a reference.

The fit was a little looser than usual, but otherwise it was the same great quality MicroPuzzle that I’m used to. Loved it!

Tiki Mask Montage – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

My daughter picked out this puzzle, and she did a fantastic job. This was so much more entertaining than anticipated, and more than once I found myself sitting in the bathroom just so I could add a few more pieces to the puzzle.

The bright colors, the different masks – it was all thoroughly enjoyable from the first edge pieces to the final piece in the middle. Why on Earth did I wait so long to get this one done?

I sure hope you all are enjoying reading about these puzzles, because they are still loads of fun for me to assemble and I don’t see myself stopping my subscription anytime soon. Every month I receive two more puzzles – they aren’t always images that I might pick out myself, but usually they’re fun to assemble and I’m always proud of myself whenever we get one done.

This particular puzzle did make me a little bit sad though, once it was finished. There were no more pieces left to add and I was sorry it was over. 😢

Bake Someone Happy – MicroPuzzles – 150 pieces

This was much more difficult than I thought it would be, and I didn’t even attempt to put the edges together at the beginning – this one was worked from the inside out. You go where the puzzle leads sometimes and that where I was being lead.

This is the companion puzzle to Secret Ingredient: Love and the subscription box came with a set of four jigsaw puzzle piece shaped cookie cutters. Both puzzles were baking themed and each had a recipe on the back…

Both recipes call for using your cookie cutters – and I can’t wait to use them. (I pretty much love everything with puzzle shapes.) And if that apron were available with all those puzzle pieces on it, I’d definitely get one of those too.

My recipe for sugar cookies is a bit different and hubby loves it so I’ll probably use that recipe, but I’ll definitely be trying out the new cookie cutters with it. All we have to do now is wait for a day when I’m feeling good enough to bake – here’s hoping! 🍪
