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.

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.

Hot Dog Truck & It’s a Tie!

Hot Dog Truck is another entry from the Food Trucks line by Ceaco. It is a 500-piece puzzle, and the artist is Stephanie Peterson Jones. I really enjoy doing puzzles from this series. They are cute and have a lot of fun, colorful elements, including different types of words, which I love putting together.

It’s a Tie! is a 500-piece puzzle from Springbok, that I had first done in July 2021. It was only the third puzzle I had done at that point. My friend Renee had helped me with it that time, but this time I did it by myself. It is a great puzzle! I love all the different patterns of the ties; it is so satisfying to bring the all together.

Ice Cream Truck

Ice Cream Truck is the third food truck puzzle I have done from Ceaco. These 500-pieces puzzles are fun, colorful puzzles that I have really enjoyed doing. The artist is Stephanie Peterson Jones.

I do have to admit that this one was my least favorite of the three in terms of quality. There were a lot of pieces that were stuck together and had to be torn apart. They also didn’t lay flat as nicely as the other Ceaco puzzles I have done. And there was a lot of puzzle dust!

The image, however, was great. I loved all the signage and the bright, colorful details in the puzzle. Even with more sky than the other ones had, it was still pretty easy to put together.

As much as I have enjoyed these, I am not planning to get any more of them unless I run across them in the puzzle box or at a thrift store. I’m ready to tackle some other subject matter!

Festive Food Truck

I did another Ceaco Food Truck puzzle. This one is simply called Festive Food Truck, and it is 500 pieces, just like the Taco Truck I did earlier. The artist is Stephanie Peterson Jones.

This was a super cute puzzle. I loved all of the signs with words, of course. The image was a bit harder than the other one, but it was still a really easy puzzle.  Also, there wasn’t as much puzzle dust with this one.

Taco Truck

This puzzle is one of the gifts I bought myself to put under the Christmas tree from Santa. My other Santa gift was a recipe binder which isn’t very full yet, but hopefully will gradually fill up as I collect more recipes. I want to print out the ones I always go to on Pinterest because scrolling through food blog posts to get to the actual recipe is a pain!

Taco Truck is part of the Food Trucks line from Ceaco, and it is 500 pieces. The artist is Stephanie Peterson Jones. I did this on New Year’s Day because I wanted a smaller, fun puzzle after tacking the cactus puzzle the night before. And it was the perfect choice. 

I loved the fun colors and all the distinct textures on the puzzle. My favorite parts were the areas with words, but really I enjoyed the whole thing. I liked it so much I ordered three more Ceaco puzzles – two more food trucks and one camping scene.
