Farm Life is a 300-piece puzzle from Ceaco, and the artist is Olivia Gibbs. I have done several of hers now and I really enjoy them. The art is so charming, and the puzzles are a lot of fun.
Farm Life
Sea Town Harbor
Sea Town Harbor is a 300-piece puzzle from Ceaco, and the artist is Olivia Gibbs. I really enjoy her artwork; I find it so charming, and this one was no exception. The puzzle was very easy to solve, given the large piece sizes.
I especially liked the houses and the boats; those are some of my favorite elements to put together. And the flowers, water, and sky were no problem because there are so few pieces.
Ice Cream Truck (Repeat)
Ice Cream Truck is a 500-piece puzzle from Ceaco. It is part of their Food Truck series.
This is my second time doing this puzzle, but this is actually my second copy of the puzzle. I had done the puzzle several months ago and found that the quality wasn’t as good as the other food truck puzzles I had done. I thought that I wouldn’t enjoy doing it again, so I donated it to a local puzzle box. Later, I decided I *would* like to own the whole series, so I purchase it again, hoping the quality would be better, and it was.
Mountain Camper
Mountain Camper is part of the Happy Camper series from Ceaco. It is a 300-piece puzzle from the artist Stephanie Peterson Jones. This is the first one I have done in this series, and it is such a fun puzzle!
I actually have already purchased a 5-pack with more Happy Campers in a variety of piece counts, so I will definitely be doing more of these. They are just so enjoyable to put together with all of the colors and textures going on. I just wish they were more than 300 pieces.
Aeries for Canaries
Aeries for Canaries is a 550-piece puzzle from Ceaco, and the artist is Jane Wooster Scott. I believe this is the second puzzle of hers that I have done, and I picked it up at Community Aid.
This was an enjoyable puzzle to do. It was missing one piece, which is more common with thrifted puzzles. The image was also lifting off the backing, mainly on the knobs. I tried not to make it any worse, but I did keep catching the edges on my hand. Also, I wasn’t able to run my hands over the puzzle when it was finished – IYKYK!
Town Park
Town Park is a 300-piece puzzle from Ceaco, and the artist is Olivia Gibbs.
This is my second Olivia Gibbs puzzle. I find her artwork so appealing, and I got this with a bunch of other Ceaco puzzles that were on sale on Amazon recently. Such a sweet image.
Go Camping! (Repeat)
Super fun and easy puzzle! Second time doing this one, this time with a friend.
Go Camping! is a 500-piece puzzle from Ceaco, and the artist is Olivia Gibbs.
Birthday Mayhem
Birthday Mayhem is a 550-piece puzzle from Ceaco. The artist is Jane Wooster Scott, whose artwork reminds me of Joseph Holodook. I think this is the first puzzle I have done of hers.
This puzzle was a thrift store find. The only place I could find the title was in the lower left corner of the puzzle itself, which I thought was a bit odd. I enjoyed the bottom part more than the top, as the trees and sky were tedious. I would not have enjoyed this in a larger piece count, but in this size it was okay.
Winter Fun
Winter Fun is a Gnome Sweet Gnome puzzle from Ceaco, and it is 300 pieces. I picked it up at the recent library sale for just $2. I was originally planning to wait until winter to put it together, but my to do pile was getting pretty small and I couldn’t resist.
It was a very fun puzzle to put together. The small piece count combined with the large pieces made it an easy build. I really enjoyed seeing all the different gnomes doing their winter activities. Super cute!
A Puzzle Marathon
Last Sunday, I puzzled for almost 12 hours! I didn’t intend for that to happen, but that’s what I did.
I was feeling a bit out of sorts that day. I pushed myself to go to church and then I grabbed something for lunch and was watching a show for a while. Then I decided a puzzle would be a good way to relax, so I did Little Park Ranger, a 500-piece puzzle from Mudpuppy. It was an enjoyable, easy puzzle. The artist is Erica Harrison.
After that, I wanted to keep puzzling but I wasn’t sure about a 1000-piece one, so I did Pip’s Pizza Truck from Ceaco. That is a 500-piece puzzle from their Food Trucks line, and the artist is Stephanie Peterson Jones. I really like those puzzles, and this one was no exception. It is a nice, easy puzzling experience with a really fun image. Words really are my favorite, and this puzzle has lots of them!
It was still not very late in the evening when I finished the second puzzle, and I really didn’t want to stop, so I decided to start a third puzzle. My stash had gotten a bit low, so I ended up choosing a 1000-piece Eeboo puzzle called Berlin Life. The artist is Uta Krogmann. It is a pretty busy image so I spent quite a bit of time puzzling with the poster in hand, but that is just what I needed at that point. It started to get pretty late, but I felt compelled to keep going, so I stayed up until 2 am to finish the puzzle.
I really enjoyed all three of these puzzles. The pizza truck is my favorite image, but I like them all.
