Gibsons The Dressmaker's Daughter - 500 pieces

I was SO excited for this puzzle to arrive!  And it did not disappoint.  It was an absolute delight!  This was a wonderful puzzle!  Yes, it was easy and quick - one day - really just an afternoon to put together.  But it was SO enjoyable.  The pieces are oversized and I am fine with that.  The image was so much fun - bright colors, interesting picture.  Such a sweet puzzle.  Loved it and will definitely keep to put together again.  2023 puzzles are starting off really well!  :)

White Mountain Christmas Carols - 1000 pieces

Image by Mark Karvon.  I am already loving this one!  So cheery and Christmasy and fun!  Will really enjoy putting this together.  And am SO HAPPY to be back at my puzzle station - set up exactly how I like it.  Pure joy!!  Yay!  (Note - I wrote the above note when I initially started this puzzle in late 2022.  I ended up re-starting it and completing it in early January 2023.  Pictures below from that go-round.) 

Very tasty Chenin Blanc.  No better than my old favorite Pine Ridge, though.  

2021 Painted Wolf The Den Chenin Blanc - South Africa

This was a magnificent puzzle!  One of my favorites ever!  Love White Mountain for the size and image quality and this one was quite fun with all the Christmas carols and themes.  Had some challenging spots, too, but never frustrating.  The last parts to get done were Silver Bells, part of Christmas Carols and Merry Christmas.  Will definitely keep and do again.

Buffalo Games Milky Way Estes Park - 300 pieces

What a lovely puzzle!  I so enjoyed putting this together!  This was my version of dipping my toe into a real photo type puzzle instead of all the kinds I have been doing.  I had gotten kind of scared of the photographic puzzles thinking they would be too hard.  And the larger ones may be!  BUT, this was delightful!  I really enjoyed it.  Will keep to do again for sure.  Good sized pieces, good image color and oh, that large poster!  Love it so much!  

Paired well with a Gruner Vetliner.  :D  Fresh and bright like that beautiful winter night sky!

Doesn't this make you want to be there right this minute??

Good Puzzle Co/Galison Holy Night - 500 pieces

This was a lovely puzzle.  It is by Galison, which I am familiar with - but it also calls itself Good Puzzle Co. BY Galison.  So not sure if this is an offshoot of some kind?  Need to look that up.  Felt like the same high quality that I had in my other Galison puzzle.  20x20 size.  Nice size pieces in the hand and good image color.  Clear and vibrant.  Very fun and relaxing to put together.  Started and finished today.  Just what I needed... Artwork by Deva Evans. Had a small poster.  Even though not big, it means a lot to me to have that feature. Will keep this one.  :)

I just wanted to do this one.  Just got it but pulled it out immediately.  It is so bright and cheerful and cute.  

And oh, those Buffalo posters!  I love them so much!  This one was nearly as large as the puzzle itself!  

This was quick and easy - about an hour.  But gave great joy.  Such a wonderful kind of puzzle that can do that for me.

Did this puzzle on the new tilting puzzle board.  That did help and was nice, but I was missing my old setup the whole time.  I had been wanting to do this puzzle ever since I first saw it.  It is so colorful and fun!  Definitely a nice puzzle.  Just sort of plodded along as I had time this week.  (Discovering that December is a tough time to find the time for puzzling...)  Finished it up tonight.  Very pleasant experience.
