The Academy Awards airs on March 10th and it’s hard to believe when the first one took place in 1929 with 270 people in attendance, it lasted for only 15 minutes! They run a tad longer now, but thankfully, the Academy instituted a 45-second acceptance speech rule after the 2002 ceremony ran for a whopping 4 hours and 23 minutes. Still, I suspect there will be plenty of time to do a puzzle (or two) as you watch and here are some nominations for ones you may want to choose from!...CONTINUE READING

Hello there! Welcome to the Spring 2024 edition of “What’s Wrong With This Puzzle?”
Here in the land of ice and snow, there’s been so little of either that one can barely notice the mild winter oozing into the start of spring. But the calendar tells me it’s coming. Soon the birds will wake me way too early with incessant tweeting and the rabbits and I will startle each other in the garden until one of us dashes under the deck in terror, leaving behind only the satisfying thud of a little head knocking against lattice...CONTINUE READING

No surprise then that my stash includes a plethora of animal and wildlife-themed puzzles of all kinds. It’s only fitting that my blog for this month celebrates World Wildlife Day...CONTINUE READING

Today, we are going to dive into everything Victory Wooden puzzles. This is one of the newest brands to grace Puzzle Warehouse, and I am so happy it’s here! An incredibly high-quality wooden puzzle brand, I think this is one you will not want to miss. My fellow ambassador Emilee wrote Victory Puzzles: reviving a 100 year old puzzle brand- and you should definitely give this blog a read if you haven’t had the chance yet. It goes into great detail about the company itself, from it’s start back in the early 1920s, to its revival about 100 years later!...CONTINUE READING

Hello there! We’ve taken one whole trip around the sun together since I started this Puzzle Ambassador gig, so I feel like we know each other well enough that I can share my art projects with you. Don’t worry, I won’t send my clippings, just art projects.
When I’m not busy Googling myself, I occasionally search the Puzzle Warehouse website for my own design, a PuzzleTwist puzzle called Intentional Kindness. And I was delighted to find it available a couple of months ago...CONTINUE READING

Already, I have my eye on a number of new ones...CONTINUE READING

Whether you’re a full-fledged jigsaw junkie or an occasional, casual puzzler I’m sure you can relate. Sometimes it’s so easy to get absorbed in a puzzle that you lose all track of time. I tend to do this far more than I care to admit. Sometimes the only thing that breaks my puzzling reverie is the sound of muttering and mumbling by someone none too happy at being ignored. “Just a couple more pieces…” I answer, and when “a couple” invariably becomes ten or twenty pieces, the impatient mumbling turns into a few loud woofs from under my puzzle table. Bounce is clearly stating that it is—once again—long past time for his walk...CONTINUE READING
