snowy springboks

With flurries swirling outside, it's the perfect time for doing jigsaw puzzles inside.

Loved this quirky take on the country church scene:

Because after all, what would Christmas be without a pink tree?

Christmas Village didn't have a pink tree. Instead, it had heaps of nearly indistinguishable purple pieces,

which made it terribly slow going...and a very effective means of avoiding the holiday to-do list!

  1. I'm still waiting for our snow quota. Feeling sadly cheated.

  4. LOL, because I have the attention span of a peanut, I have never really been one for puzzles, but I admire you for being able to do them!

  6. Do you know, I think I might have to try jigsaws as a stress buster. Do they help when things are hectic?

  7. Oh, one of those puzzles that you do by shape, not by colour or pattern! I know that kind!

    I was once rescued from a really difficult puzzle by a cat who got into the box and wee-ed on all the impossible little pieces. Best excuse I ever had for giving up.

    Happy Christmas!

  8. you realize that by showing all these gorgeous puzzles you spoil all other makes of puzzle... I stood in a shop with a huge selection and couldn't find one I liked half as much as your springboks...... xxx

  9. Our family just wrapped up a big 2000 piece puzzle. My husband is demon puzzler, though, and the rest of us hardly have a chance if he is around! Too bad we can't trade puzzles with you.

    On second thought, I don't think I would want to do that second puzzle. Too monochromatic. I like more color contrast in my puzzles!

  10. Pink Christmas trees makes me think of Angostura bitters in Pink Gin.
