I’ve been having a lot of fun doing wooden puzzles lately. Recently, I learned about Victory Wooden Puzzles out of England. They date back to 1920, their logo / marketing message is V for VICTORY, putting in the final piece. You can see, top right of box, victory sign.
If you need a GIFT for someone or something fun to do in the evening by yourself or with children / grand children you will enjoy their mini puzzle versions (~80-99 pieces).
Here are two that I have done, really enjoyed them.
I liked this one of San Francisco.
This came from an advertisement they sent me via email. I wanted you to see the mini puzzles come in a small round tin, so easy to transport.
Fall / Winter are coming, we can feel it in the weather, evenings getting dark early.
Puzzling is a wonderful way to pass the time by yourself or with others. Ideal as gifts too.
Have a great weekend! Happy PUZZLING!
I was visiting a friend of mine and out of no where, she had a sunflower that started growing.
I took a picture from the top, I was curious how they look, because when they get so tall, it’s hard to see them. This was was still relatively short in stature.
I hope it will be a little fuller looking than this one. I found this sunflower so amusing. It looks like a person having a bad hair day. I also thought it looks like a man with a full beard, but losing hair on top. Interesting what our mind sees.
We’ve had an interesting summer. Super hot temps, normal temps, then wicked thunder storms.
It’s definitely not a normal summer… still… it is summer, let’s enjoy the outdoors and its beauty.
I haven’t had to use stamps for a long time. When I was mailing a package the other day, the Post Mistress asked, “Will there be anything else, ie stamps?”
I saw the notice that stamps were going up July 12, 2026 by 4 cents. So, I bought some. I told her she could give me any pack, I wasn’t particular.
She pulled out these, “Baby Wild Animals.” They are cute.
So, if you need stamps. GET THEM NOW. Why pay extra if you don’t need to.
Have a great day!
My mother has this book from her childhood. She said all children read it.
The story of a young boy who writes in his diary of his daily events. Apparently, he’s always getting into trouble.
Does anyone know of a way to translate a book electronically.
It would take me forever to translate this by using Google. I would like to read it.
I saw an App that allows you to scan a page and then it reads it back to you. So, there must be a way to translate a big document, right.
And maybe, there is already an English version. There’s a thought. Any good sleuths out there?
Have a good day!
We all have stress in our lives for different reasons. All we want is to relax and unwind.
Well, look at this. I saw it on social media, the website: Stillwater Symphony, offers luxury floating sound baths.
What do you think? Have you seen this before?
Have a relaxing weekend!
I’m not normally a fan of wooden puzzles, the shapes are just so strange. However, my friend had posted this sea turtle puzzle she had done, which is so beautiful. So, she sent it to me to do and then return when done.
It’s my first “traveling” puzzle.
I’ve done the first step, sorted the pieces. Now, to tackle putting them together.
LOL – I’m always amused when people are doing something challenging and they say, “WISH ME LUCK!”
Is that what I should say, given this situation? Look at these pieces. I don’t know where to begin.
Look to the far right of the photo. They had some cute shaped pieces.
Ok… today is the day to tackle this beast of a puzzle!
What challenging project are you working on?
Anyone else start receiving WP Achievement Awards. LOL – I’d like to think I have a FANTASTIC blog, so I was amused when I received this World Domination Achievement unlocked.
What’s behind that one? How did I achieve it? I am flying high this AM, even though I secretly know it’s not true.
PRETENDING is fun. YES, I rock! YES, I dominate this Blog site! YES, everyone wants to hear what I have to say!
I guess… it’s a fun way for them (WP) to motivate us… play a game of getting “MORE” Achievement Awards.
I’m not sure where to find them. Looked around, but didn’t see them.
I mean, if I have these two, WHAT else have I achieved!
Here’s to NEW —ACHIEVEMENT— goals this second quarter of the year, RIGHT!?!?
Have a great long weekend!
For anyone who has gotten married… There is always a sweet or not so sweet story behind the proposal.
I was doing this fabulous White Mountain puzzle of Niagara Falls. As I was sorting the pieces, I realized there was this cute message at the top. LOVE that red plane too.
Reminded me of when my ex-husband proposed. He gave me a fake ring. At first glance, it looked like it could be real, but when I pulled the ring out of the ring box, it was adjustable. Meaning, the bottom of the ring was open, not closed, so I could adjust it to my finger. That was funny.
I’m sure there are even funnier stories out there…
Have a nice day!
We’ve had a few gloomy days this week. Suddenly today, the sun is shinning.
I saw this cute bird, he wasn’t afraid, he even posed for me! The flowers are blooming.
Spring is so beautiful.
Have a great weekend!
