Well, this is my last post for the year 2018- I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas and that 2019 is full of all the good things for you!
It's been a wonderful year in regards to puzzles- I have tried many new brands, put together many new designs and managed to consistently post up each week on this blog and my Instagram (which has happily continued to grow in followers, so thank you!).
Next year I hope to continue on with this and share even more wonderful brands, designs and collections with you!
I think last year, around this time, I also mentioned that I hoped to do a puzzle of fireworks to bring in the new year. Well, I have the puzzle, but I just haven't had the chance to do it, so that might have to wait for another year! Oops, sorry!
In the meantime, as my last post for the year, I have decided to post up a picture of The Man From Snowy River, Vic. It;s the closest puzzle I have at this time to a camping theme, which is what I will be doing from today and into the New Year with my friends. Part of Ken Duncan's Images Of Australia series, this panoramic puzzle was a pleasure to do, and quite quick. I suggest you check out his works at some point if you want a lovely snapshot of rural Australia in puzzle form. I have done quite a few of his puzzles and will continue to do them as long as they are around!
Have a safe and happy remainder of the year and I'll see you in 2019!

I know I only put up a Disney puzzle last week (which was very popular on Instagram by the way!) but I thought that considering it is so close to Christmas now- only a few days away- I should get into the spirit of it all and post a Christmas-themed puzzle!
And this is the result!
This puzzle features most of the popular characters (including princesses, animals and, of course, Mickey and Minnie) and was a pleasure to do. I love how Ravensburger is able to integrate all the favourites into a design that any Disney fan can enjoy.
It was super easy and quick to do this puzzle, especially since it was only 500 pieces.
My next post will be after Christmas so I hope you have a safe and memorable day with family and friends and enjoy yourself!
Merry Christmas!!!

No doubt, if you've been following this blog and my Instagram throughout the years, you will have noticed that I am a huge fan of Disney!
I have done many puzzles that feature artwork from the franchise, including ones from Ravensburger, Tenyo and Yanoman (although I have not yet put up any of the images of this particular Japanese brand- maybe some day soon!).
I love the nostalgia and the memories that the characters evoke, although I can't say that I have any particular favourites.
Ever since I first saw Ravensburger's massive 40.320 piece puzzle, I have wanted to do it, but my common sense (and a lot of influence from my husband) have convinced me that the job is just too big to tackle, especially considering the finished size of the design (which I would have absolutely no room for anywhere in the house!).
Luckily for me, Ravensburger has released all of the designs from this huge puzzle in small, individually produced 1000 piece puzzles, so I can create the mental illusion that I have done this monster!
I now have all of the separate designs and will work my way through them, in no particular order. The first one I have put up is Dumbo, which was a pleasure to do. I'm not as familiar with this story as I am with some of the other stories- I think I only saw the film once, and when I was very young- but since it will soon be coming out as a live action remake, I thought it would be appropriate to make it up.
This was a great puzzle and I can't wait to start the next one in the Collector's Edition series.

You know how sometimes a piece of artwork just draws you in? That's what happened to me with this puzzle design...
I'm not sure why it appealed so much, but when I saw the mixed-media style image, it just drew my attention and I had to purchase the puzzle. It could have been the bright and expressive colours, or maybe it was just the multilayered detail, but I really enjoyed doing this one by Anatolian.
This was only my second puzzle from this brand but it didn't disappoint. The pieces fit together nicely and the colours were vibrant. Although Anatolian have fewer distributors within Australia, I'm going to have to get some more from them at some stage!
