Hope to see you there!

Wootwoot! I can finally share, the first puzzle in

Wootwoot!
I can finally share, the first puzzle in a series called “My Happy Place”, that I have been working on with @roseart_puzzles RoseArt/CraZart puzzles, is now out!

This one is a cozy reading nook, full of books, plants, and a quiet place to sit and read with your best furry friend, while snow gently falls outside over the city.

I had so much fun illustrating it, and put a few personal touches in it, like a King Charles fireplace dog as a nod to our pup Stella, and a reading lamp inspired by one my gran had.

Have you read any good books lately?
I just finished A Psalm for the Wild Built, by Becky Chambers- such a good & very relevant story of love and acceptance, definitely recommend!

Find this puzzle on cra-z-art.com, search for “My Happy Place”

I will share when I find a Canadian retailer for them too!
