Puzzle #6 Delicious Desserts by Buffalo

Another sideways picture.  This puzzle is by Buffalo, 2000 piece.

It took me over a week to put it together.  I couldn't believe it.  But worth it.

The Buffalo puzzle was not thick.  You could not pick up a section and move it.  It was enjoyable.  

 

Book #4 I See You by Mary Burton

 

Ok, I  have to admit I could not put this book down.  I got caught up and stayed up way to late.

Quick read,recommend this one.

Book #3 The Stranger Inside by Jennifer Jaynes

 

Book #3.  I love the book until the end.  I hated the ending.  I would not recommend it to anyone.  

It's a great mystery and I always try to figure it out before I finish.  I guessed right but it was just a guess.  That's how good the story was.  Then it was ruined.

Puzzle #5 White Mountain For The Love Of Wine

Ok, this is my first White Mountain Puzzle.  I bought it at Goodwill for $1.99.  And it was NEW in the bag.  Quick review - Not much dust, thinner than the springbok but it was a good thickness.

1000 piece puzzle challenging with the yellow and greens.  Overall, I would buy this brand again.

 

Cross Stitch #6 Beatrix Potter Sampler Letter Q

This letter went quick.  I think it was because there was not as much back stitch.

Still loving Beatrix Potter!

 

Book #2 When She Returned by Lucinda Berry

 

This book was different than I usually read.  More drama and less mystery but still has mystery.

I have to say I liked it.  I figured it out about half was through but didn't know if I was right until the end.  The story is about a mother who goes missing and then returns 11 years later.  

I would recommend this book.

Puzzle #4 Springbok Grand Master Series The Puzzler II

I'm up for a challenge so when I saw this puzzle on facebook market place I went for it.

I purchased this puzzle for $5.  All pieces included - at least that is what the ad said.

 

The box says over 500 pieces.  It took about 14 hours to put together. And in the end?  

It was missing one piece.  

 

#4 and #5 Cross Stitch Mill Hill 2013 MH16-3106 Love

My favorite cross stitch brand right now is Mill Hill.  Whenever I make the little kits I always make 2.

My plan is to sell the other one but I just seem to have a bigger and bigger collection.

I did something different on this pair.  One is on white paper and the other is on brown.

They give off an entirely different look.  I have to say I like the white the best.

That was included in the kit.

 

Book #1 This Secret Thing by Marybeth Whalen

 

I play my game and read before going to sleep and this is my first finish on the year.

I liked this book.  In the first chapter the mother is arrested.  The rest of the book deals

with her daughter, mother and best friend, the lives she has touch.

At an hour a night it took about a week to read.  More drama than mystery - which I prefer but I

continued reading.  I will not hesitate to stop reading if it doesn't grad my interest.  Free with Prime reading. 

Puzzle #3 Springbok Neoclassical 500

I love Springbok puzzles.  The pieces are nice and thick.  I can't find a date on this puzzle but I bought it at a thrift store for 65 cents.  It had never been opened, still in the original plastic bag.

Knowing all pieces were there was great.

Pretty easy puzzle to put together.  Less than a day.  And one more puzzle off the list!
