Spreading the joy

Early May and I joined my local panto group at one of their fundraisers. The puzzles went down well and it was lovely to share my joy with others. I also think that at £3 for a 1000 piece and £2 for anything less my prices are pretty competitive for a checked puzzle. 



Half term is here!

After two years of covid, the education profession really is on its knees. So, half term was very welcome and I intended to utilise my time wisely. 4 puzzles in 4 days isn’t half bad is it? Not to mention the slight backlog because of the April puzzles. 









The marmite one wasn’t terribly well cut considering it was a major brand, but the others were all lovely. 


I missed a month!

 Sorry to the two readers who follow me - not sure what happened to April…

However, I’m back…

Avocado Park - Gibsons (250 pieces)

I was secretly relieved this wasn’t anything larger than 250 pieces. The design was cute enough and it was fun seeking out all the little individual avocados and what they were up to, but any larger and I feel it would have become a bit of a slog. That said, I did enjoy it. 

Time taken: 1 hour 



Classical musicians - Classic FM (1000 pieces)

It’s always nice to be presented with something away from the classic brands and this puzzle certainly fit the bill. An interesting topic which enabled me to learn as I puzzled, I enjoyed piecing together the greats of classical music. Most reassuring was, that although I didn’t know what they all looked like, I had heard of them all. 

Time taken: 2 hours 15 minutes

Another personalised one…

Yet another example of a lovely gift - this time from my work colleagues. So simple, and yet so personal and lovely. They even tried to ensure two of the photos had the same background to make things trickier…no such luck I’m afraid.

My big birthday…

You can’t beat a personalised puzzle! Quality continues to improve and the range of photos you can have is much better than when they first hit the market. Even better is when someone buys one for you. This took me an afternoon, but reminded me that it’s about time I got back out into the world and started having more adventures. 

Oh, and the brand - Puzzleyou, which seems to be the new My Photo Puzzle.
