Just finished this 750 piece puzzle. Colorful but on the too easy side so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I was expecting to.

This was a fast and fun 500 piece puzzzle, by CrazeArt. I don’t usually do 500 piece puzzle but because this was such a busy image and I had never done one by this puzzle maker , I thought I would give it a try. Nice solid feeling pieces and interesting shapes as well as beautiful colors and crisp images made it really enjoyable to do.

A correction on my post. This was a Eurographics puzzle, not CrazeArt.

I love that kind of puzzle, susanm9006 .. lots of colour!
I often do 500s with a friend when she comes over for the day.

We finished this last night. It was another tough one.

I was trying to work on my puzzle today but...never mind.

He's just adding that extra dimension to the puzzle: the work-around-Ozzy one.

I don’t know what it is about working on a puzzle but Lola does the same thing - flops down right in the middle of the puzzle and pieces get pushed all over the place. Of course they know we are soft touches and can’t resist giving them a few pets or a belly rub .

This is so sweet!

We've done a bunch of them lately. A few were agonizing.

This one was tough:

This one went really fast - susanm9006 This is a similar feel to the one you did but is a Cra Z art.

I got this one used off of Facebook and was skeptical all the pieces would be there but they were -

I got this one at a thrift shop and it was by far the toughest one we have done. It was impossible to figure out where all of the little people went and the pieces did not fit together well at all.

OMG, that last one would have to have been a HUGE challenge! I have done the beer one or something similar and did not find it fun.

AbbysMom Wow, you've been busy!

Got my Dowdle puzzle done. It's got some cute details--there's a guy proposing to someone in the upper right corner, someone holding his nose because of the smell of fish at the bottom of the picture. Fun.

Dowdle makes some great puzzles. You can buy them now at the Buffalogames website.

Does this happen to anyone else who does a lot of puzzles? I found a puzzle at the thrift store by my favorite artist, Amy Stewart. It look a little familiar but maybe because I have seen it online or maybe because I have already done it. Bought it anyway because it was really cheap, and now I am sorting pieces and still can’t decide if it’s one I have already done. Feeling pretty silly about that.

I have absolutely done that! You are not alone.

Thanks! The more I sort, the more I think I haven’t done this one. I would try looking it up to see when it was released but I don’t like looking at an image that I am putting together. Once it is done I will check the date on it. This is another of her “shelf” puzzles which I do love. This one with tiny toys.

I'm just starting to make a spreadsheet of what we've done and what I've bought and have to do because it's getting very confusing already! I have seven that we are going to donate to the library. They resell them for $1.50 and I've bought some there.

Here are our latest:

This was a Bits and Pieces brand and was very difficult.

This one was White Mountain brand and wasn't bad other than the leaves at the top

This was a Ravensburger and was very hard. It has a watercolor feel and it was difficult to decipher the differences in color.

 

[susanm9006]

AbbysMom , I love most White Mountain puzzles, and I especially like their larger size. I give all of my puzzles to an old grade school friend. She lives in a senior community and after she is finished with them makes sure they get passed on to others.
