I've been going through my puzzles lately and pulling out all the ones that have unusual packaging or dimensions. I kind of want to get them done so that the rest of my puzzle boxes are more uniform, but I know that will never happen!

One of the puzzles in that pile was this one. The box is long and rectangular, as is the actual puzzle! But I absolutely loved it regardless. I enjoy doing Disney puzzles, especially of the princesses, and this one featured a great range of characters so that improved the experience immensely. The pieces fit together perfectly and the colours were vibrant and bright. I have a few other puzzles from Clementoni in a similar style so I might try and do them soon. 

I also have a lot of puzzles in tube-style packaging which I would like to do soon too. 

Have you got any puzzles in your to-do list that have similar criteria to mine at the moment?

I'm back again! Last week was so hectic and there's no way I would have been able to post anything (as I said) so it's good to be back and showcasing puzzles that I have completed. 

I had so many options for this week's post- today is Record Store Day and tomorrow is International Book Day. It's a lot easier to accommodate Book Day with my collection of puzzles so I have decided to post the above puzzle. 

I absolutely loved this design from Edwina Owens Elliott and when I saw it, I had to purchase it. The vibrant illustration immediately drew my attention and the irregular-shaped pieces made it a bit more challenging to complete. 

I have many puzzles with a bookish theme- including most of Reverie Puzzles' designs- but this one was the one for the day!

I'll be back next week with something new... see you then!

When I posted my photo last week of the Barbie puzzle, I didn't realise that they were going to release the trailer for the new Barbie film starring Margot Robbie later on in the week! How random! But also, how good was the timing? 

This week, I was hoping to post a picture of a Super Mario puzzle that I have been working on for the release of the new film (featuring the voice of Chris Pratt). I was going to go see it on Thursday but unfortunately wasn't feeling too well so I didn't get there. But that's OK, because as I said, I'm still working on the puzzle. Still working... it's a 500 piece puzzle and usually I would have had it complete, but this one is killing me! I have approximately 80% of it done but the sky and grass are solid colours and the pieces are ALL THE SAME! you can seriously interchange most of the pieces and then it doesn't fit together as nicely as it's meant to so you have to pull them out and try a different combination. I'm about to lose it but I really want to complete it properly for my photos. The annoying thing is, it's from a brand that makes puzzles as their business, and I've done cheaper-branded puzzles of lower quality that don't have anywhere near the same problem. Very disappointing but I'm going to keep plugging at it.

I also hoped to put up an Easter-themed puzzle since tomorrow is the day but I couldn't find anything in my stash so the above puzzle will have to do for this time round. It's kind of fitting because my daughter has been crawling around lately pretending to be a cat! The above puzzle was a nice and quick one to do, and is a quite cute image of Pusheen and friends enjoying some ice cream together. 

Next week I won't be posting because I'll be travelling for work and won't have access to my photos/laptop etc (besides the fact that I will be very busy!) but I'll make sure I have something ready for the week after. 

Have a happy and safe Easter with your loved ones and I'll see you in two weeks xo
