Care Bears

Brand: Aquarius

Pieces: 500
Size:  35cm x 48cm

Product Code: 62-228

It's been a turbulent news week, with America joining the overseas war drama and bombing various nuclear sites in Iran during the week. 

I hate that there is so much going on like this and that people can't just live peacefully together. 

I suppose that's why I'm taking a very simplistic view of it and putting up a cute puzzle of Care Bears- if only more people took their approach and used hugs and love to make the world go round. 

This puzzle was quick to do and very cute, especially if you're a fan of the nostalgic series. 

Enjoy your weekend, stay warm, and we'll see what happens next week...

Popcorn Puzzles: The Naked Gun

Brand: Arrow Puzzles

Pieces: 500
Size:  45.5cm x 61cm

Product Code: -

I'm not sure if you've seen the new trailers being released for the Naked Gun film reboot, but I was inspired to put up this puzzle of the original film after watching them on YouTube. 

The new film, starring Liam Neeson, looks to be just as ridiculous as the original starring Leslie Nielsen. 

(Sidenote: I wonder if they took the actors' names into consideration when they were casting the role for Frank Drebin Jr cos their names are also quite similar).

Anyway, I know that my husband will be keen to see the new one when it comes out because he's always been a big fan of the film and I know he's been following all the new trailers with interest. 

Back to the puzzle, this one was just a cheap one from Kmart that was as you'd expect for the price. The pieces fit together well enough though, and it came in 'popcorn-box' style packaging, hence the name Popcorn Puzzles. 

Will you be seeing the new film when it comes out? Or would you prefer to watch some other film?

Gemini

Brand: Cobble Hill

Pieces: 500
Size:  67.6cm x 48.9cm

Product Code: 45013

Yay! Finally up to date with the Horoscope puzzles! This one celebrates those born in Gemini and was just as enjoyable to do as the ones previous. I only have 5 more from the series to complete and I will try my best to put them up within their time frames (although no guarantees).

Have I put up your star sign yet? Or is it one of the ones to come later in the year?

Donut Lover's Jigsaw Puzzle

Brand: Ridley's Jigsaw Puzzles

Pieces: 1000
Size:  55cm x 70cm

Product Code: JIG043

Yesterday was National Donut Day, so what better design to put up than one that celebrates all things donuts?!

The above design features a variety of our favourite baked and decorated treats, with an illustration, name and description of each one for good measure.  

This puzzle was a lot easier to do than it looked, especially when you sorted out the pieces by colour and text, but I'm a little disappointed that the vibrancy of the colours didn't come through as well in my photos compared to in real life. Regardless, it was still a treat to do, and just one more in Ridley's collection of 'lovers' puzzle designs that I have now completed. 

Did you celebrate yesterday with a donut or two? I unfortunately didn't, but I'll be heading to the shops soon so who knows what may fall into my shopping basket? Haha
