SureLox: Time Life Magazine National Parks Puzzle



How many National Parks have you been to? This puzzle from SureLox Puzzles features a variety of stunning park photos from Time Life Magazine.  It is a perfect little adventure for your imagination as you delve into building each puzzle piece to reveal a different park.  


🧩500 Pieces



Thoughts:

👉Minimal puzzle dust

👉Good quality thick pieces with vibrant colours

👉Although the containers were set out to sort, which is our usual process when starting a puzzle, it was actually much easier to follow along with the box and work on each postcard-like image after completing the border.

👉LOVE the SureLox fit which allows for the puzzle pieces to fit together nice and tightly.

👉Only issue is the size of these pieces are a little on the small side, preference is having them a bit bigger to work with. Really need to take a lot of breaks because otherwise our eyes go a little googly.


Finished puzzle - a beauty!

Dr. Puzzle: The Bearister's Mansion

🧩New puzzle to work on! 

Dr Puzzle - Train Your Brain - The Bearister's Mansion, Dennis Lewan (750 pcs) 




Here's our progress thus far. Not only is this a puzzle, but there are hidden images here to spot! Really enjoying this one. 

The pieces are pretty well-made. Finding the right pieces to put the flowers together are definitely a challenging part so Bill has been working on that as I work on the clouds!

UPDATE!! 🧩


What's that saying? Count your chickens before they hatch...well I'll revise that to say count your puzzle pieces before you match because obviously we are missing a piece from this box. Ugh!

Oh well, our first small bloop in the land of puzzles!

Let me know how many hidden images you find in this puzzle.



First Time Aromatherapy Puzzle!

🧩Aromatherapy 500 Piece Puzzle with Lavender Scented Candle



After helping to declutter and organize a home (one of my favourite things to do!) , this puzzle was given to us.

I thought it would be relaxing to do since it is only 500 pieces. Definitely challenging because the puzzle pieces are so uniquely shaped. It took quite a bit of time to figure out.

The puzzle overall though is good quality, no complaints at all. The lavender scented candle smells nice, I could smell it when we opened up the puzzle box. Thankfully, not headache inducing or too strong. I don't light candles inside the house though, so I'll give the candle to someone who does.

I absolutely love all the beautiful colours and this tranquil scene.

Challenging New Puzzles

Well I am sharing our finished Ceaco puzzles from this set of 8 and some thoughts on each one!



🧩300 pieces

The rounded puzzle had a learning curve. For some reason just looking at it completed, reminded me of the lyrics from the iconic musical, The Sound of Music.

🎵Follow every rainbow Till you find your dream 🎵




This one was pretty easy to do!



🧩500 pieces

So many itty bitty details on each cupcake! I was struggling on this one especially the purple - my fav colour. Still fun to work on together and turned out great.




Another challenging one especially the blues!


This one took several days to complete.Some of the different patterns and coloured pieces helped to navigate where each balloon would be placed. Definitely another challenging one but turned out lovely.


A stunning pose. So many little details and to figure out the right pieces to match the pattern and colours, especially around the head.




🧩750 pieces

We finished this 750 piece puzzle. It was extremely difficult and to our surprise, these particular pieces were definitely poor quality compared to the other puzzles. Beautiful scene but quite a disappointment. 





🧩1000-pieces!


Sorting puzzle pieces into containers has become really helpful. Although this one had SO many colour combos that I needed to get more. Also, as you can see, it took up our entire dining room table. lol



Finished!


Our first time working on a 1000 piece puzzle. This was unbelievably difficult at times. Hours could go by and there would be rejoice with "I found A piece!" Glasses on, glasses off... trying different ways to see if a piece fit together or not. Then also wondering sometimes, "is there an actual piece missing?" We get into the groove and then boom, a standstill.

This puzzle really taught us such levels of patience, which is always a great virtue to have in life.

Very happy with our accomplishment.
