Worked hard through the night to finish Harvest Colors, and managed to complete it despite ‘help’ from my cats! Taco loves to steal my chair whenever she can.


And Gidget was in a squirrely mood all night. Trying to concentrate with this cat tornado on the tower above me is challenging!


1500 piece Springbok 'Harvest Colors’, completed with a bonus piece. Whoops! It exactly matches another piece in the puzzle, just slightly offset where it’s cut colorwise. I wish there were a way for me to send it to whoever now missing it! D:

It’s been slow going on my harvest puzzle! I’ve been having a really good time with it, but it has been time consuming for sure. Being so massive, it doesn’t fit on my porta-puzzle board, so I took a new puzzle to start at my grandparents last Thursday!


1000 piece Josephine Wall, I believe called ‘The Three Graces’, by Buffalo.



I made solid progress on it- well, all the really easy bits at least!


But I’ve not worked on it since Thursday, spending the weekend picking at Harvest Colors in between playing the new Warframe patch!



I’m hoping to have this one finished up this week. So many glorious puzzles to do!



Been working steadily on “Harvest Colors”!


It certainly isn’t too easy, but not too tough either so far. Progress is slow, but steady.


My stopping point for tonight. The corn was surprisingly a lot harder than I anticipated, but a ton of fun too!

I maaaay have been naughty when I went into town today… I wouldn’t normally do one as hard as the Five Nights at Freddy’s puzzle (so much of a single color), but I’m a huge FNAF fan girl, so I couldn’t pass it up! Very excited for the betta fish puzzle too!


I keep betta fish, and one of my betta fish groups on Facebook has been all a-twitter about that puzzle today. I went to Walmart just to look for it, and it was the only copy, sitting in a mostly cleared out spot, like it was waiting just for me. Destiny!


My current to-do shelf! I promised my husband no more puzzles for a while… I really hope I can keep it… >>… Lol! I will do my best. I better get to completing these so I can justify restocking!

In the midst of gluing my last two puzzles. Bit of a time consuming process, needing to wait between coats to dry!

Always feel a bit nervous when doing it, but they always look fine when finished, so I don’t know why. Lol! Just have to keep telling myself this will not be the one time the glue doesn’t dry clear!
I’ve decided on my next puzzle!

Gonna get in the fall spirit even more so with this enormous Springbok! This is “Harvest Colors”, 1500 piece, originally from 2013. I know it’s also available in a 1000 piece too.


Very excited to start it! Love the smell of a brand new Springbok, lol! And the pieces always feel so nice and weighty.  If that isn’t a box of joy, I dunno what is.


Can't wait!


Springbok 1000 piece ‘Gamer’s Trove’. This one was incredibly easy, but for the last bits of black. So many bright colors and recognizable images and characters! Can’t wait to get it glued–I’ll be framing it and hanging it in our game room! 

Springbok's weird piece shapes are growing on me though! They can be frustrating as you work them at times, because some pieces won't lock together until you've fully surrounded them. However, with the thickness of the cardboard (Springbok's have a lovely 'snap' to them as you set the pieces in) you can practically pick up the unglued puzzle at the end no problem. They do hold really well! And the quality of the printing and cutting is hard to beat!

1000 piece Springbok, "Gamer’s Delight", and 1500 piece "Harvest Colors". I ordered these two a few days back, and they came in this last week!


I can’t say I’m super fond of Springbok’s jigsaw cuts… The pieces are really bizarre, and don’t lock together well. Still high quality, just not one of my fav designs.


It’s coming together SUPER fast though! I figured this would be an easy one, but Geez!
