Notes: “I absolutely adored the summer vibes and camping adventures depicted in this puzzle by artist Kay Lamb Shannon. The cute images of summer camp life by the lake—fishing, swimming, swinging, and climbing trees to reach the clubhouse—brought back all kinds nostalgic memories. It felt like I was reliving those lazy summer days at the cottage or by the swimming hole at camp with my friends and family while putting together this delightful puzzle. Highly recommend!

I’ve garnered quite the collection of Bits and Pieces puzzles. While they may not boast the same quality as Cobble Hill or Ravensburger, and lack the convenience of a poster, their consistently well-done images and choice of talented artists always draw me back in. For me, the image itself is just as crucial, if not more so, than the puzzle piece quality.
