It took waaay too long, but I’ve finally gotten Beauty and the Beast off the board and Bambi is sorted. I’ll be able to start assembly tomorrow and I’m really looking forward to getting back to work on the puzzle and posting updates every day. Stay tuned!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a What If puzzle, almost forgot how much fun they are! Also, I’m only showing a tiny portion of the puzzle, because I don’t want to give away the “answer”.
In this puzzle, Hyacinth has worked all year with the help of her husband to get her garden ready for the “open gardens” weekend, what will happen if unexpected visitors drop in?
I haven’t done a regular Ravensburger in a while, I’ve just been working on the giant Ravensburger puzzle. It reminded me how awesome this puzzle company is, and why they’re my favorite. The pieces are wonderfully thick, they fit together so well that you always know if you’ve got the right piece, the image reproduction is gorgeous and there are a variety of piece shapes so it isn’t boring. Ravensburger Rocks!!
Cartoon puzzles are my favorite and I adore the artwork of Geoff Tristam. I can’t really say why, it’s not childish cartoony at all and just something about his artwork makes me happy. So add together Geoff Tristam cartoon puzzle with Ravensburger and I am a happy happy puzzler! 🙂
I don’t know how it happened so quickly, but this entire 40,320 piece puzzle is 90% finished! There is only one section left to assemble, wow!
Beauty and the Beast was as much fun as I thought it was going to be, and I’m glad I saved it till the end. Belle was so much fun to assemble, and so was the Beast. The colors are gorgeous and I loved assembling each of the smaller characters as well. I usually know all the names but I looked up the feather duster’s name because I couldn’t remember it. Babette! It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie, so I don’t feel too bad that I couldn’t remember her name. I’m sure she forgives me. 😉
I enjoyed the whole puzzle, and I’m sad it’s done already. I was torn between wanting to work on it as much as possible, and wanting it to last. In the end it took about at much time as the rest of the sections, 15 days.
So now there’s only one left. Bambi. I want to just go for it and work on it as much as possible! Will I? I’m not even sure myself.
Bambi, Thumper and Flower – look how cute they all are! I love this image, and think it’s gonna be a ton of fun to do. The carpet of flowers on the ground, the pink flowers in the trees and each of the characters are going to be fun and challenging and I’m super excited to get going.
By the way, did you know that each section has a hidden Mickey Mouse symbol? It’s easy to spot in some of them, in others you really have to search for it. You can find the one in Beauty and the Beast pretty easily, but it’s not as easy to see in this picture of Bambi. Peter Pan was the hardest to find for me, did you spot them all?
Of course it’ll be a few days before I get started (as usual) – gotta get this section off the board and sort Bambi, but I’m not in a huge hurry for that either. I’ll probably stall like last time and work a bunch of other puzzles for a few days. At least this time I’ll be conscious of the fact that I’m stalling. 🙂 Onward to Bambi!!!
Only around 200 pieces left to go by my count, so it will definitely be done tomorrow! OMG!
The banister is all done and it looks gorgeous if you ask me. All that is left is a small bit of one of the candelabras and the wall. It feels like I just started this section, how can it have been 2 weeks already?
I can’t believe it’s almost done, I’m a little bit sad. I guess I have to keep reminding myself that there are still hundreds of puzzles to be done between my house and mom’s. She keeps going to the thrift stores several times a week and we keep accumulating more and more puzzles. Sometimes I think 😮 – but then I say 😎
Two more days oughta do it, I’m almost there!
This is always the best part of the puzzle for me, the number of pieces is dwindling and each piece is easier and easier to find. It makes you feel like you are AWESOME at puzzles, look how quickly I found that piece! Or maybe that’s just me, whatever. 😉
I’m off to bed to rest for the remainder of the day, I’ll be back puzzling again tomorrow.
