Whenever there is an international recognition day happening, I try to relate it to a puzzle that I've done (if it is at all possible, and if I actually remember to commemorate the day!) Obviously if there is nothing on, I'll just put up a random puzzle that has some other reference point, but today we're in luck!

Tomorrrow (July 29) is International Tiger Day, so I have put up this simple 100 piece puzzle that I just happened to have :) Featuring a tiger mother and her cub (as the title so cleverly suggests), this puzzle was extremely quick to do and quite fitting for the day.

I don't really have much more to say on it- the quality was good for the price and the pieces fit together well. Hmm... I wonder what next week will bring?!

If you follow Australian Rules (AFL) football, you will know that today is Grand Final Day, 

Contending for the cup are the Adelaide Crows and Richmond Tigers, and, while I don't support either of these teams normally, I'm jumping on the bandwagon for the Tigers. It has been 37 years since Richmond last won a premiership, and it's safe to say that their fans are excited about the game coming up today. I hope that they can do it for Victoria and take home the premiership cup.

Because it's quite difficult to find footy-themed puzzles, I decided to put up this Tiger Family puzzle from Ravensburger to commemorate the team. 

This puzzle took a little while to do, considering all of the similar colours in the tiger's fur. I had to try and differentiate between each of the three tigers, and piece them together accordingly. I found it was easier to complete the plant-life on the sides of the puzzle first, then work my way into the centre.

A little bit challenging, this puzzle was nonetheless a pleasure to do and the end result is striking.
