About my ratings

Perhaps because of my day job, I'm a tough rater. Everything 3/5 and above I consider worth the time and money. If I purchase on Etsy or a similar platform and the puzzle is as expected, I will give a top rating on the platform because of how seller ratings work, but here "as expected" is probably a 3/5 in most cases.

Grow Old Together, Gwen van Knippenberg

 Hidden Piece, 531 pieces. This one is for people who really like themed cuts; the image lacks some of the variety that some people might want and relies on the cut for interest. But the cut does have a lot of it, with a number of different whimsies showing activities that a couple might enjoy through the decades, as well as central multipiece whimsies of bride and groom. 3/5




a bicycle built for two, and Sorry or similar tokens



Close Your Eyes, Marina Castaldo

 Elms, 655 pieces. Nice soft colors, some twinned whimsies, plenty of variation beyond the river--a good experience all around. 7/10.









Spirited Flight, Dee Rogers

 Misfit Creations, 59 pieces. What a service to the community Dee Rogers has performed! This lovely Teaser-style puzzle was nicely cut with shiny paper. 4/5
