Mini puzzle review....
I recently purchased these mini puzzles from Puzzles + and WOW, what a fun little puzzle. The first one I tried had lots of cute cartoon dogs on it and this was somewhat challenging (could possibly be because I attempted it after returning from a 28hour puzzle marathon). Last night, I thought I would give a different design a crack and took approx 3 episodes of Golden Girls (casually, not speed puzzling). I had a little burst of "woo hoos" when I finished and both my daughter (aged 15 and 16), then wanted to give these mini puzzles ago. Now It's a race!!! Of which I won 😄. 15 mins later 2nd and 3rd were determined by 5 pieces.
The puzzles themselves do have false fits however as a quick time waster they are quite enjoyable.

One of the charities we're supporting at the 2024 SEQ Puzzle Race Autumn Edition is Share the Dignity .
A volunteer from Share the Dignity will be coming to talk about what Share the Dignity does, as well as collect the donations we gather.

"Share the Dignity works to make a real, on-the-ground difference to the lives of women, girls and those who menstruate who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, domestic violence or poverty. We distribute period products to those in need and work to achieve menstrual equity here in Australia. When someone is doing it tough, the last thing on their mind should be dealing with their period."

Please add a period product or two to your shopping trolley this week and bring it along to the Race on the 27th and 28th April to donate to this cause.
