As you're probably aware by now, I'm a sucker for cool illustrated designs when I'm buying and completing puzzles, and the above puzzle was no exception to the rule. 

When I first saw the above design, I had to purchase it (as well as the accompanying two other designs that came in the Carnival series with it). Although this is the only one from the trilogy that I have so far completed, I was happy with the quality and colours in the design (especially considering the brand is within a lower price-range). The quirky image and busy design made it stand out, and I'm happy that I was able to find it.

This is the last 'normal' puzzle I will be putting up over the next month- next week is the start of December! How did that come around so quickly?! The puzzles from here on in will be festive-themed to celebrate the arrival of Christmas and the holiday season.

Have you started doing any Christmas puzzles yet in anticipation of the holidays?

I've just been going through my computer and looking at some of the older puzzle images I have taken- there are so many that I have done and not yet put up! 

The above is one of them. 

I bought this puzzle when Puzzle Warehouse was doing one of their 'Buy 2, Get 1 Free' Promos. The design drew my attention, and being a 300 piece puzzle, it was fairly quick to do. I love artsy type illustrations like this, and can't help but be drawn to them when I see they're available. 

Is there a particular design style you gravitate to? Do you tend to buy puzzles of a similar type?

Last weekend, I was going through my puzzle collection and sorting all my completed puzzles from my new and uncompleted ones. My hope is to sell or give away the ones that I have done so that I can make some more room in our house (and maybe make a bit of extra cash on the side). I'd like to add that my husband was also pushing me to complete this task because he's getting a little frustrated with seeing puzzle boxes everywhere! Oops!

Anyway, I managed to get together all the ones that I wanted to sell (including the one above if anyone is interested) and came to a grand total of 126! These are ones I have completed, taken a photo of, and put aside, and range in piece count and brand variety. I'm thinking of either listing them on Facebook or eBay, or holding a market stall and just trying to sell them. What would you do with that kind of quantity?

Something to think about...

Anyway, let's move to today's puzzle... The above puzzle was a pleasure to do, and I was happy to recognise most of the titles, even if I hadn't necessarily seen the film. This puzzle would've been a good option for Halloween actually. I was happy with the quality of the puzzle and the way that it pieced together. The colours were vibrant and the layout of the design was interesting and caught my attention.

Do you enjoy doing collage-style puzzles? I have a few more in my collection that I'm keen to do....

Until next time... happy puzzling!

Hi all!

In all the excitement of Halloween a few weeks back, I forgot to say that I was going to be absent the next week (which turned out to be last weekend) cos I was working interstate again. Hope you didn't miss me (or this blog) too much! Because of that, I didn't put up any posts or images and I'm sorry for not giving you the heads up about it. But that is likely the last time that will happen for a while, so never fear! 

Today I have decided to put up this image from a quick little cube puzzle I did. It took such a short amount of time to do, because of its piece size but the design image was bright and fun. I think it only cost $2 to buy though 😅😂I've chosen this one after watching the film last night, and in anticipation of the sequel which will be released sometime soon. I'll try and get a more substantial-sized puzzle done and up soon.

Have a great weekend!
