I’ve decided to pause this blog for now. I may be back later, but then again, maybe I won’t. I’ll leave the blog up, of course. Thank you to all my readers over the last seven years! I’ll leave you with this lovely Ravensburger 500-piece puzzle called Cozy Cabana:

Libraries usually make great puzzle images, and this is no exception. Loved it!

I don’t usually make lists of my favourite puzzles of the year, but if I did, this would be very close to the top.

Sorry about the bad photo, but here are some close-ups:

I have all of these movies on DVD. There is one Universal monster missing from the puzzle, Phantom of the Opera (1943), and interestingly enough, it’s also missing from my movie collection. I’ll probably get it at some point, but I’m not a huge fan of the Phantom of the Opera story. I do have the earlier silent movie from 1925, with Lon Chaney.

Anyway, I ususally love movie images, and especially horror movie images, so obviously I loved this. Great puzzle, and I’m definitely keeping this to do again.

This was No. 7 in the Ravensburger My Haven series, and it was fun and easy, like all puzzles in the series have been.

A Ravensburger set of two 500-piece puzzles with an image from the swinging 60’s. The street view was a bit easier than the shop, but both of the puzzles came together really fast.
