Apologies for taking so long between blog updates but, fortunately, we’ve been staying pretty busy lately and it seems this is one of the things that can be put off until “tomorrow”.

We had our three remaining winners of the secret code contest:

James H. of Minneapolis, MN, Clarice S. of Texarkana, TX and Janine C. of Concord, NC.

Congratulations to all the winners who did a lot of digging to find the secret code because, as I think they’d all admit, it was “well hid”.

Today we received two more completed “Puzzle Within a Puzzle” pictures so we thought we post those and also include the others we’ve received since starting the 15% discount offering. As a reminder… send us a picture of a completed “Puzzle Within a Puzzle” and we’ll send you a coupon for 15% off your next order for our website.

Today’s pictures came from:

Stuart R. all the way from Aberdeen, Scotland who did the Butler from the “Card Sharks” puzzle and Jeannie H. from Houston, TX who completed the kitten from the “Four Kittens” puzzle (this is Jeannie’s second Puzzle Within a Puzzle submission). So CONGRATULATIONS to Stuart and Jeannie!

Others that we have previously posted:

Susan W. of Buffalo, TX completed the Scotty Dog puzzle within a puzzle with, as she says, “help from her ten year old grandchild”. Congratulations Susan!

Beverly U. from Philadelphia, PA completed the “Cat” puzzle within a puzzle from the Four Kittens puzzles. Congratulations, Beverly!

 Jeannie H. from Houston, TX completed the “Butler” puzzle within a puzzle from the Card Sharks puzzle. Congratulations Jeannie!

Congratulations to Jeannie H. of Houston, TX for finding February’s “Puzzle for a Penny”. This month it was the Texas Bluebonnets puzzle. We’ll have another “Puzzle for a Penny” sometime in March… so keep your eyes open!

How many puzzle pieces were in the jar?   804 to be exact. And our winner hails from way across the pond… Phil T. from Manchester, England who guessed just about as close as you could come without being exact!  He guessed 802 pieces! CONGRATULATIONS PHIL!

Phil has been a fairly regular customer of GoAnywhere Puzzles and bought his first puzzle from us over a year ago! He tells us that he is retired and that he and wife love to do our puzzles together.

We did have 17 different people provide us with 31 different guesses that ranged from a low of  224 all the way up to 1007. Stacy A. from Tulsa, OK got the next closest with a guess of 812… and this was the closest guess until this past week-end. We did have some guesses that were in the high 700’s.. (775 and 782) so everyone did a great job!

Thanks to everyone for participating… we’ll do it again sometime!

Congratulations to Beverly U.  of Philadelphia, PA for finding the Lucky Leprechaun (who was hiding in the Cat in the Barn puzzle). Keep searching… he may pop up just about anywhere! If you find him you win one of our Coffee Break wooden jigsaw puzzles  absolutely free!

We have our first “Treasure Hunt” winner who found the secret code — Stacey A. from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Congratulations Stacey. There will be four more who can win the 25% discount prize… just find the code and follow the instructions.

WE HAVE A WINNER!

The January “Puzzle for a Penny” was the “Peacock” puzzle and was uncovered by one of our local Fort Wayne customers… Matt R.   CONGRATULATIONS MATT!

We’ll put out another “Puzzle for Penny” sometime in February… it’s just that you won’t know when or what puzzle so “happy searching”.
