Mickey & Friends Dance Party

Brand: Yanoman (Petit)

Pieces: 204
Size: 10cm x 14.7cm

Product Code: 98-579

Today I've decided to put up a mini puzzle I completed some time ago. This puzzle is postcard-sized when completed and I purchased it from a Japanese website a few years ago. I love how it has such tiny pieces, especially when you consider there are over 200 pieces. The design is a cute Mickey Mouse one and although it's hard to capture all the details in my photo, I can guarantee that it is very high quality!

Sorry I don't have time to write much more about this one today- I'm extremely short on time but I thought I'd better post something (no matter how little) regardless. 

What's the smallest size puzzle you've ever done (count or dimensions wise?) 

Tokyo Disney Resort 35 Happiest Celebration

Brand: Tenyo
Pieces: 1000
Size: 51cm x 73.5cm
Product Code:  18022

Today I want to share with you the most amazing puzzle and one that I will always keep :)

Two years ago, around this time, my husband and I were on a holiday in Japan (our second time in the country) and, since we hadn't visited Disneyland the previous time, decided to go there to see what it was like. It just so happened to be their 35th birthday celebrations that year (and at the same time, I was turning 31).

While looking around one of their numerous gift shops I discovered this awesome holographic jigsaw puzzle, exclusive to the Disneyland Resort, that celebrated their birthday and which I just HAD TO HAVE!
Needless to say, it became my birthday present, and one that I will never sell. Despite already owning hundreds of puzzles, my hubby gave in and bought me this one. (No doubt cos he knew I'd buy it for myself if he didn't- the fact that he bought it for me made it more special)

So I ended up getting this beautiful puzzle :)

Tenyo is such a high quality brand and they always have amazing designs so I was already onto a winner, plus, like I said, it's holographic so it has a metallic multi-coloured sheen to make it even more different. This is one I doubt I'll ever find anywhere else so I'm so glad I found it while I was there and was able to bring back such good memories with it.

Mickey's Birthday

Brand: Ravensburger
Pieces: 1000
Size: 70cm x 50cm
Product Code:   190195

During the week it was my birthday! I'm not going to let on exactly how old I turned but I can say that it is considered a milestone birthday, it was a memorable day and that I actually made it! 

I have decided to put up another Disney puzzle- and what would be better than one where Mickey Mouse is celebrating his birthday with all the rest of our favourite characters?! I thought this would be a fitting one for the occasion. Bright and cheerful, many popular characters feature in this one, including some of the playful pups from 101 Dalmatians, some of the Disney princesses (including my favourites Jasmine and Belle) and of course, Mickey and co. 

This puzzle, being Disney-themed and Ravensburger, was quick and relatively simple, but still a pleasure to do. As I mentioned, the design is bright and fun and certainly perfect for fans of the Disney franchise.
