50 Must-Watch Movies Bucket List

Pieces: 1000
Size:  55cm x 70cm

I used to love watching movies in my downtime while I was studying at school and university - it was the way I relaxed after hitting the books (although my mum probably thinks I spent more time watching films than actually studying!)

So when I saw this puzzle design, the nostalgia hit and I had to do it. I've seen quite a few of these films (although I can't be bothered counting right now to give you an exact amount) and I loved the images used to portray each one. The illustration style really drew me in. This puzzle was fun to do, and took me less time than I expected, considering it's 1000 pieces. It also came in a 'popcorn-style' bucket rather than a normal rectangular box, which created a bit more interest.

Do you enjoy doing puzzles that feature 'checklists'? How many of the films in this puzzle have you watched?

I'm a little late putting today's post up (although granted, it's still on the same day as I normally post - not a day late like last time!). And the reason for that? I was at a social puzzling event that's held at one of the region's libraries on the second Saturday of every month. 

I went with one of my workmate's, who is also very much into puzzling, and together we completed a 500 piece puzzle that we haven't done before. The above image isn't the one that we completed today because the photo I took of that wasn't very good, so I decided to put this one up instead.

This was from Kaisercraft - a Geelong-based craft store that has been focusing more on giftware in recent years. I liked the collage-style design and while the pieces weren't of the highest quality, the puzzle image made it worth doing.

It's finally the Labour Day long weekend! 

I've been hanging out for this for such a long time - I definitely could use the break after working so many extra hours over the last few weeks. In fact, this time last week, I was unable to post because I was working my first Saturday in a very long time. But thankfully that's all done now and I can go back to regular posting and weekend activities. 

Today we have plans to visit the Werribee Zoo (because we were gifted a membership for Christmas and, well, why not?!) so I have decided to put up this puzzle of a collection of different animals. Granted, many of the animals in this design are farm animals and wouldn't be found in a zoo, but I still thought it was a cute image. 

The quality of this puzzle was fantastic and I really enjoyed putting it together.

Are you having a long weekend this weekend? If so, how will you be spending it?
