    Happy Halloweenish Puzzle

    I wore out all of my brain stuff yesterday. But I did have time to put together a puzzle for you.

    Here is the puzzle. If I can't find this skull, where is it? Because I can't. And I love this skull.

    I have reduced my Halloween decorations to 2 huge bins and a large shelf in my basement because I needed to make room for my professional candy floss machine.

    The only place I haven't looked is my bin of doll parts. Which in most households would be one of the Halloween bins, but in mine it's just my box of creepy doll parts.

    If I find it I'll have to remember to put it in my box of skulls. Also not a Halloween bin. Or necessarily filled with decorative skulls.

    I shouldn't tell you this but it took me 25 minutes to do this puzzle. It should take about 10. I was not distracted or slowed down by the dog, cat, or stomach cramps.

    Would you like to save this stuff?

    We'll email you this post, so you can refer to it later.

    Don't forget to check below the puzzle for the winner of last week's giveaway, this cute little Etsy vase that's like mine.

    The randomly selected winner of last week's giveaway IS:

    Diane Bellesen

    Congratulations Diane. You must be thrilled you're winning a vase instead of a non decorative skull.

    Have a good remainder of your weekend, today (Sunday) is finally turkey pot pie day. I've been planning on making my winter stash since Thanksgiving but I ran out of time and then I ran out of lard - my 50/50 dough recipe here.

      Holy moly!! Feel like I've been outwitted by a puzzle! Way way too long to solve this but in my defense I went to a Halloween party last night and I'm running on 3 hours sleep and my head is quite numb from multiple Jello shots!! 😂😂🤕😲
      Note to self....puzzles + hangover = No bueno!!
      Thanks Karen....lol

          If you've never had them you're missing out! Just limit the number though!😜
          (And hope and pray they were made with "good" alcohol and not the cheap stuff! Lol)
          Have a great Monday!

      Ten minutes? I'm impressed - then got sucked into a waffle puzzle for 20 minutes. My breakfast is cold, my laundry needs turning and I woke up thinking 'she said there would be a puzzle today' - so weird. I also saw a man using a hot air gun to shrink milk jug bottoms onto a skull and make tons more of them. He had strange half gallon jugs and used the bottom part cut about 5 inches above the bottom. Then he laid them on the skull top and heated them. Then he found out he could mold two together the same way so added another jug bottom to the back of the head for a complete skull. They looked really good when done and washed with paint.

      I can’t get it to stay in full screen, I lost valuable time opening it over anD over. Fun though! 👏🏻👍🏻Thank you Karen! Nice to see you the other day!

        Be glad - very glad. I also struggled to make it work and after killing 14 hours I can now do it well. I'm hooked enough to waste TOO much time but keep going back for more. So be glad you are frustrated as that means you haven't spent days on working puzzles - LOL. That Karen is a tricky one I tell you. Halloween is her domain.

      I did a sailboat puzzle in about 4 minutes - pretty sure it was not the correct one! Looked nothing like a skull... I'll look again for the correct link because... because I have lots of things that I'd rather not do....

      Thanks for the cool puzzle 👍🏻
      So I’m thinking maybe your lost skull is in with Thanksgiving decor.
      You know. Too cool to pack away with Halloween. Appropriate to display on the liquor cart for thanksgiving 🤷🏻‍♀️
      Just a thought.
      Good luck

      37:05 😕… which of these excuses will work…it’s early before coffee, I’m a first timer, I’m just taking it “Easy Like Sunday Morning”? It may have taken a little long, but I enjoyed every minute! Thanks!

      Not sure about this but it looks like a liquor bottle I've seen with the top portion cut off?
      Crystal Head Vodka? I've seen where people cut the bottoms off bottles, maybe something similar can be done with this?

      14:50 - Not bad for it being 5:00 a.m. A jolly skull it is. I have very confidence your hide-and-seek skull will appear soon. Skulls get like that sometimes. And CONGRATULATIONS Diane.

      13:57 I’m going to purchase a new iPad just for these puzzles!! It’s so hard to do on an iPhone! 😂 I didn’t decorate again this year. No treats, either. I’m just not ready for an influx of people who will be coming out no matter what!!! I haven’t been sick for three years! Probably much longer! So nice. Happy Halloween!! 🎃💀👻

    My name is Karen Bertelsen and I was a television host. In Canada. Which means in terms of notoriety and wealth, I was somewhere on par with the manager of a Sunset Tan in Wisconsin.

    I quit television to start a blog with the goal that I could make my living through blogging and never have to host a television show again. And it’s worked out. I’m making a living blogging. If you’re curious, this is how I do that.

    So I’m doing this in reverse basically. I’m the only blogger who is trying to NOT get a TV show.
