I love a good repeat puzzle! Yes, I have done this before, yes I picked it up again, yes I enjoyed it as much as the first time I assembled it.
My first copy of this puzzle was found couple years ago, and while it was complete, and I enjoyed it a lot, I did end up donating it to the thrift store. It had a musty smell to it that I couldn’t easily get out, so I decided to pass it on and hope for another one some day. I’ve since learned how I could get that smell out of things, but back then, it was just an issue I didn’t want to deal with.
I think everyone knows by now, that I just love the Great American Puzzle Factory. especially their 80s and 90s generation puzzles. The quality is close to perfection and I always just adore their images. There’s too many amazing ones to name, but here goes.
Penguins at the Beach, Circle of Life, Alligator Alley, and honourable mention goes to my oldest GAPF puzz – Sportshoes from 1978, a classic.
Better add this one to the list of fabulous puzzles! Artwork by Bill Bell, just a whole lot of Santa characters, with toys, and treats for all the little kiddos out there. This is full of details and is a super engaging assemble. A little bit of challenge and a whole lot of beards!
I think we can guess which Santa is my favourite Santa! Look at this guy monching on a candy cane, too funny!
This particular copy is in perfect shape, it was like opening a time capsule. I’m really happy that I took a chance and found a second copy. This didn’t have a smell and the box and pieces were like new!
1000 pieces, complete and in perfect condition.
