Colorful Harvest is a 300-piece puzzle from Ceaco, and the artist is Tracy Flickinger. I have done several of her puzzles and really enjoy her style. The quality of this one was good, which was nice because Ceaco can be hit or miss.
I took this puzzle with me to Thanksgiving at Renee’s house. I thought the image was appropriate to the holiday and also though the smaller piece count would be good for the time we had available. Renee and I were about 75% done when our friend Mike showed up, and he joined us to finish the puzzle.
I liked this puzzle a lot and will definitely redo it sometime by myself to enjoy it even more.
Ceaco has a series of puzzles called Happy Camper, and I picked up this 5-in-1 multipack featuring some of those images. I started doing Happy Camper puzzles after I finished all of the Food Trucks that are currently out. Most of them are only 300 pieces, which makes for a short puzzling experience, but they are really cute, so I like them. I thought this pack would be a good way to get a bunch of them for a lower price.
I was not impressed with this pack of puzzles at all. Some of the images are cut off versions of the original puzzles, and the quality was terrible. The image was coming off the cardboard in a lot of places. A lot of the pieces were damaged and a couple had even lost the knobs entirely. The puzzles are cute, but I would recommend getting the individual ones instead of the multipack. Those are usually a bit better quality.
One thing I did enjoy was that for the last two puzzles I did (the vertical 300-pieces ones), I solved them without looking at the image while I was puzzling. It gave me a different experience to what I normally do, and I enjoyed it. It was fun figuring out where sections went as the puzzle came together. I don’t know if I would like to do this all the time; I think it could be quite frustrating on a larger, more detailed puzzle.
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.
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 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 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 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 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.
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.
