Groovy Records - Springbok 1000 pcs. (#21)

Image
Not my photo, this one is from Serious Puzzles.

Wild Jungle - Dowdle 1000 pcs (#20)

Image
  This was a lot more difficult than we expected it to be, because the puzzle is quite dark in my spots, and the pieces all have the same 2-in 2-out shape other than the edge.

I Scream for Ice Cream - White Mountain 1000 pcs. (#19)

Image
  Another nice White Mountain collage puzzle from Goodwill, with no pieces missing.

Food We Loved - White Mountain 1000 pcs. (#18)

Image
  Another Goodwill White Mountain collage puzzle.  The box said there was a piece missing but it turned out there were two missing.  Overall a nice puzzle otherwise.

Sun Kissed Cabin - Springbok 1000 pcs (#17)

Image
  This one was challenging, it is only the second Springbok we have done.  The edge was quite difficult because of the random piece shape and the number of false edges.  

Houseplant Jungle - Galison 1000 pcs. (#16)

Image
  This was our first Galison puzzle.  The quality seems to be very high other than a few pieces that were starting to delaminate.  

Soda Pop - White Mountain 1000 pcs. (#15)

Image
  Another White Mountain from Goodwill.  This one had a piece missing on the edge, but it was written on the box so we knew ahead of time.

The Sea Buglers - Buffalo Games and Puzzles 1000 pcs. (#14)

Image
  Another Goodwill Charles Wysocki, unfortunately missing a piece.   This one had more than the usual false fits but eventually it worked out.  You have to look for cracks to find pieces put in the wrong place.  Finished last night on 8 April 2023.

Saturday Morning Cartoons - White Mountain 1000 pcs. (#13)

Image
  Another fun White Mountain collage.  We found this last Thursday at Goodwill.  There must have been 50 White Mountain puzzles there which had been added since the last time we were there and it was difficult to choose only 3 of them.  That was the most puzzles we have seen at one time at Goodwill.  I suspect that someone donated their entire collection of White Mountain puzzles.  This was finished last night so I am backdating the post (as I have done other times).

Catchin' Bugs - Buffalo Games and Puzzles 1000 pcs. (#12)

Image
  Another Charles Wysocki from Goodwill.  I thought this one had a missing piece for the longest time, but eventually found it.  This one had a lot of false fits, but eventually it worked out.  The first 3/4 was pretty easy, the rest was more difficult.

Tropical Island Holiday - Buffalo Games and Puzzles 1000 pcs. (#11)

Image
  Another Goodwill puzzles.  This one was easier than I anticipated it would be.

Things We Say - White Mountain 1000 pcs. (#10)

Image
  We finished this one pretty fast, and the wife did most of it.  We enjoy these White Mountain collage type puzzles, even though the fit is not as good as most of the other brands we do.

Candlemaker, Tobacconist, Hat Shop - Buffalo Games and Puzzles 1000 pcs. (#9)

Image
  Another Charles Wysocki from Goodwill which we assembled quickly.  While we were looking for the missing piece, we found a piece in the couch.  We were able to determine that it was one of the missing pieces from Grandma's Kitchen which we finished a few weeks ago.  At least we still have it and had not donated it yet.

Hi Neighbor - Buffalo Games and Puzzles 1000 pcs. (#8)

Image
  Another Goodwill find and Charles Wysocki with all the pieces!  We enjoyed this one a lot and finished it quickly.

Dahlia Makes a Dory Deal - Buffalo Games and Puzzles 1000 pcs. (#7)

Image
  This is our first Charles Wysocki of 2023!  We enjoyed this a lot, and it was a nice break after doing the balloons.  We like the Wysocki puzzles very much.
