Puzzle Adventures - December 2020

 Where did December go!?!


For the alphabet challenge I did I is for Ice Skating. A fun little Dowdle puzzle entitled 'Over The River'




Followed by a bunch of Christmas and winter Themed puzzles. I enjoyed every single one of them!

This one by Serendipity is older, and beautiful but the puzzle quality is quite ghastly! So many pieces are loosing lamination, I literally did it with glue bottle in hand. It was worth it though.



Lovely little details in these images...



For Gingerbread House Day on December 12th, I did this Dowdle one, aptly named 'Gingerbread House' it is such a fun image loaded with tongue-in-the-cheek characters.



Next up this stunning one by Eurographics. This is one sadly missing a couple pieces, but I was gifted a new one for Christmas, so this one will go up for trade.



Love this little image on the Christmas card



For the alphabet challenge, A is for Animals. The challenge stipulated more than one type of animal and I think 'Christmas Pies' by Larry Jones delivered. It was a great build and by now I know to just start anywhere with these Bits & Pieces puzzles, no point in trying to do the border first. Many inside pieces have straight edges, which defeats that effort. I do, however, store the edges separately for the next time I do them...



Adorable little mouse with a veritable feast at it's paws. No wonder it is smiling!



And to top it of a Christmas themed 'Santa's Workshop' by Dowdle. I enjoyed it, but it is not my favourite Dowdle. Rather dark and some of those character's faces look downright creepy. We'll see whether it makes it until next Christmas or join the 'to trade' pile before then...




And that's another year of puzzling done. And not a single Cobble Hill among them. That is unusual for sure!

On to World Puzzling Days next starting in January...
