Puzzling January 2020

and uhhh... February. Looks like my January post never made it to the blog so here are both months.

~~~~~~~~
January 31. 2020

It is puzzle time!! First puzzle of the year is by one of my very favorite artists, Amy Stewart!

An extra bonus is that it is about books because I love to read and my favorite genres are mystery, thrillers and even the occasional true crime book. I love James Patterson, Stephen King, Lisa Scottoline, John Grisham and the list could go on and on and on!  Do you read? If so what kind of books or authors top your list?

This week I assembled the perfect puzzle for me...BUNNIES!

I love and collect fun whimsical bunnies and Easter is a dangerous season for me to go into a store. It is even worse right after the holiday when they go on CLEARANCE SALE!  I have more rabbits (and Eeyores) than any one person needs but hey, I love 'em! Which brings me to this puzzle finish.

I have another puzzle finish and I would say it is in the "Nick" of time since it is Santa's Toy Bag!

It looks as though a toy or two may have gotten away since two pieces are missing in this puzzle but there are still plenty of toys for all the good little girls and boys.

This puzzle has an added bonus of trying to find certain toys in the bag!

Can you find them? Jacob helped me find some because even though I put the puzzle together, I could not see them! Some are a bit tricky and then of course the picture never comes out great because of the glare.
