The Traveling Wooden Puzzle…

brilliantviewpoint 15 Comments

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?

What do you see?

My daughter and I were driving and saw this statue. We went by too quickly for me to see WHY the statue was there.

Then I saw some murals, really nice.

Fun to see… I’ve seen some interesting billboards lately too, but alas, when driving can’t take a photo.

Enjoy the great weather. Well, if you are having nice weather, we are, FINALLY.

Will You Marry Me?

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!

Poor me… a bad MUG design!

Are you like me? You’ve seen a mug, you like the design, you’ve bought it, and it works perfectly?!

Well, this is the FIRST time that a mug design has not worked.

I’m curious… without telling you the issue… CAN you see what the problem is?

FYI – I don’t buy mugs often, but now if I do, I will be scrutinizing the mug BEFORE purchase.

Now, off to have a cup of coffee!

Have a great weekend!

Birds – What are they meeting about?

It’s Spring and the birds are out in full force. I hear them chirping at 5:00 AM. They can be really loud!

I saw these birds in the late afternoon. Doesn’t it look like a serious meeting?

I caught one bird in flight, love that.

Spring is a wonderful time of year!

The mini vacuum… It works!

I’ve been doing a lot of puzzles lately. Some of them have so much puzzle dust. How to deal with this??

Someone suggested the “mini vacuum.” Wow, I had no idea this existed.

You can find them at Target, Amazon, etc. They come in all sorts of styles. I went for the blue ladybug.

They aren’t just for puzzle dust. Imagine toast and bread crumbs or eraser dust. This would be perfect for that too.

I think kids would enjoy clean up with this cute lady bug.

That is your smile for the day.

Have a great weekend.

Who has grandkids? Need a gift for a child’s b-day?

A while ago, I was in a small town walking down the street. They had all sorts of shops. One had miscellaneous type gifts.

They had a small children’s section and I saw these cute mice in a cigar box. What a clever idea.

These mice are adorable. They had all sorts, look even triplets.

THIS is your Friday smile for the weekend!
