Happy February Puzzle Fam! This month is starting out sunny and cold, but don’t you worry, the PNW rains aren’t gone for too long. The weather report says we have at least a week of rain coming up.

I read somewhere that the glacial soil lends itself to our glorious farmland here. CONTINUE READING

Remember boom boxes, walk mans, and pagers?  How about a time when Nirvana wasn’t considered Classic Rock?  I know I’m totally dating myself with this post, but I don’t care. I think that I grew up in the best era ever! Neon, fanny packs, I could go on and on.

Are puzzle accessories necessary for a great puzzling experience? Can’t you just dump a puzzle out and get going? Picture this – You are sitting at your dining room table. It’s nap time for the kids and you’ve got a little bit of time, so you grab your favorite hot beverage and a brand new puzzle.

Hi there! I’m Alyssa, and I’m so excited to be a 2023 Puzzle Warehouse Ambassador! Welcome to my very first blog post! I have loved puzzles of ALL kinds since I was young, but I found a more social aspect of enjoying jigsaw puzzles when I started my Instagram account @puzzlesatoz (that’s A to Z, for my initials! AZ! Although frequent interpretations also include puzzles at oz and puzzles atoz). This month I get to review the 160 piece 3D Mandalorian Helmet by 4D Cityscape Inc. CONTINUE READING

My name is Michaela, and I have a puzzle problem, which is the best problem to have. I started puzzling before I can remember, and competed in my first speed puzzling event in 2016. Since then, I have been a part of many wonderful teams and have some awesome puzzle awards. I also helped coordinate and host the We Heart Puzzle competition and raffle in February 2021, as a way to take my mind off of heart testing I was going through at the time. CONTINUE READING

Fast forward to present day and while I’m a bit jaded about the holiday, I must admit I STILL love the sweets! And I enjoyed puzzling all their ooey-gooey puzzling goodness too! CONTINUE READING
