Your Special Date - Butler and Hill (500 pieces)

I was given this by a family member as they always share puzzles with me once done. Therefore the subject matter is a little odd - it is a personalised birthday puzzle. A newspaper front page on the day you were born. Not that that fact made in difference to the puzzle - it was equally as hard whether it was my birthday or not! Once the edges and title were in place it was a case of finding all the tiny little lines and building up the columns and boxes. Not the most enjoyable puzzle I have ever done, but not the worst! 

Time taken: on and off over the course of a day

Snow is Falling - Wentworth (250 pieces

What a lovely to end the festive period back in early January. I was bought this Wentworth for Christmas by a family member as a real treat (especially because of the prices!!). It passed a very happy hour one cold and wet afternoon. A beautiful picture, coupled with the normal 'Whimsie' pieces kept me intrigued and the overall finish was great. Most important of all, however was the smell of those wooden pieces when you first open the fabric bag! - Bliss!
