Disney D100 Moana

I've long been a Disney-loving girl, and as such, when Disney celebrated 100 years, I was all over the puzzles that celebrated this iconic anniversary. 

I managed to find and do all the puzzles in the above collection, and as I have recently seen advertising for the live action version of Moana (soon to be released), I have decided to put up the above puzzle. 

I absolutely love the film of Moana, and would have to say it's one of my favourites. I'm not sure what exactly draws me in but it's a film I really enjoy, as does my little girl. The above puzzle was a quick and fun one to do, making good use of colour blocks in the illustration. I'll eventually post all the others from this collection, but for now, this will have to do. Enjoy!

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!

Like many people the world over, I was saddened yesterday to hear the news that Queen Elizabeth II had passed. She was such an iconic role model and a beautiful woman in so many ways. It's hard to believe that she is gone now, especially after having reigned as Queen for my whole lifetime, and that of my parents too!

I have two puzzles in my stash that feature her and unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to doing them yet, despite having owned one of them for years! I have the Eurographics one that features a younger Queen sitting on her throne, and I have the more recent Winning Moves one, which is a montage of lots of different images throughout the years. I was going to buy a few that celebrate her jubilee but they may be harder to come by now, unless they re-release them as a commemorative thing. Anyway, because I have not yet done those puzzles, I have decided to put up this one of Aladdin's Princess Jasmine instead. I realise there's no way that they can really compare, but Jasmine is one of my favourite Disney Princesses, and that's the closest to royalty that I could find in my completed stash at such short notice!

This puzzle is only 100 extremely large pieces, but I loved the image and couldn't resist purchasing it. I've listed it for sale, but if no one buys it, I'd be happy to keep it for my daughter if she one day decides she wants it.

Now I'll have to fast-track my Queen Elizabeth II puzzle-doing. 

Rest peacefully beautiful soul xo

A Princess Is Born

Brand: Arrow Puzzles

Pieces: 500
Size: 61cm x 45.5cm
Product Code:  -

Tomorrow I will be celebrating my first ever Mother's Day (as a mum) and it's so bizarre! My husband has asked me what I want to do on the day, cos as he said 'It's all about you' but I have no idea what we should do to celebrate... maybe go out for lunch? I have to make a decision soon because I'm sure most places will book out. 

In the meantime, I have put up this puzzle by Australian brand Arrow Puzzles which I think captures a lovely image of motherhood. Take note that the colours are a lot more vibrant in real life (my camera didn't capture them as well as I hoped). This is such a sweet design and is one of three by artist Hannah Lynn for her Anime Series. 

This is the first time I have put up an Arrow Puzzles design (although I have now done a few)- they're available at Kmart and feature lovely designs at an extremely affordable price. 

I might have to put up a few more in the coming months. 

For now, however, I need to suss out what to do for tomorrow. Wish me luck!

It is quite apparent to anyone who has followed me on this blog (and my accompanying Instagram account) that I am a fan of the Disney franchise. I love the films, the characters and all that comes with it- including jigsaw puzzles!

Although I have not yet had the chance to see the new live-action Aladdin film, I have seen loads of references to it on social media, as well as spoken to friends who have seen and loved it. 

Because of this, I have decided to put up this small Jasmine puzzle that I purchased while holidaying in Japan a few years ago. The pieces are made of a see-through plastic that 'click' together when you assemble the puzzle. I also bought a couple of other ones, and it was a toss-up about whether I would post this one today or a Frozen-themed puzzle (considering I just saw a trailer for the new film which will be coming out). Maybe Frozen can be for another day...

The quality of this puzzle is amazing and the colours (as you can see) are quite vibrant. Although small (this puzzle is postcard sized), it is definitely a favourite!
