Another Puzzle and Trivia Question. Last week's winner announced.

I was really impressed with all the new folks who participated in last week's puzzle.  Everyone had the correct answer, which was Sailor Duck!!

I ran all of your names through the randomizer and the winner of the $10 coupon is H Corell.  Congratulations! I will sending out all of the participation coupons and the winning coupon as soon as I receive them from Connie.

There was quite a bit of positive feedback on the Jigsaw Puzzle.  And a few requests to go with 49 pieces.  So we are going to give the 49 piece puzzle a whirl this week.

I almost wasn't able to run the puzzle as the server was down.  This meant that the puzzle did not show on the blog.  Remember that the puzzle can take a little to load, but if a white box continues, wait a little and come on back. (In fact, I have next week's puzzle all done waiting for the server to come back!  (Hint: Where in Disney Work were these photos taken.)

Remember to email your answers to coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com.  Your answer should be sent by July 4th at 9:00 PM EST.  We are looking for the kit name.  Again, if you have any trouble using the puzzle, drop me an email.  Reminder: The puzzle maker uses flash and will not function properly on most mobile devices.  Participation coupons in the amount of $1 will be sent to everyone who participates. Everyone with the correct answer will be run through the randomizer and one lucky duck will receive a $10 coupon to Connie's store!







Trivia Question: (1) Who is the only Disney character to have an "official" middle name? (2) What is the full name of that character, including the middle name? (3) Who is this characters sister? (4) Lastly, what is the "real" birthday of this character?  Mail your answers to me at coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com. All portions to your answer must be correct!  If you have all the correct answers, you will be run through the randomizer and  the first five names in the randomizer will receive a $1 coupon to Connie's store.  There is not a participation prize for this Trivia portion.

Something a little different this week!! Solve the puzzle and name the kit!

Last week's puzzle was rather interesting! I do read your comments and your emails. Though I must admit that I have also spent more time than I care to admit to cruising through all the pages of Connie's store on one site or another. So I can sympathize. I was even nice and chose recently released kits!! My layout was indeed created using Wedding Day. The elements that did not belong were flowers from Social Butterfly. That said... the randomizer indicates that last week's winner is Bekki!! Click here if you would like to refer back to last week's post. 

So this week we are going to try something a little different!!  I picked one of Connie's kits and ran it through this really cool Jigsaw Puzzle creator.  I have been very kind and set it to 25 pieces.  (But I was considering 49!)  I also removed the name of the kit so when you assemble the puzzle, the name won't be there!   All you need to do is email the name of the kit to coyotelady(at)gmail(dot)com.  Your answer should be sent by June 27th at 9:00 PM Eastern.

Caution!  The puzzle uses Flash and will not work on many mobile systems.  
Note: The area where you work the puzzle is actually larger than the puzzle.  If you have any questions about the puzzle, drop me an email.


A little Disney trivia. The renown "Partners" statue  located in the hub is nearly as iconic as Cinderella's Castle.  While Walt was alive, he was very adamant that he never wanted a statue of himself made and certainly not one that would be placed in any theme park. For decades after his death, his wife Lillian continued to honor Walt's wish.

Some 20 years after Walt's death,  fearful that Walt was being forgotten by a new generation that had not seen Walt on TV every week, it was decided that there needed to be a reminder in the park of the man who had started it all.  The Partners statue was unveiled in DisneyWorld in June, 1995. (It was first released in DisneyLand in 1993.)

It is said that at certain times of the day (which changes seasonally), the shadow cast by the Partner's statue creates a  Hidden Mickey.  As for the ring on Walt's right hand - it is an Irish Claddagh ring. He and Lillian bought the claddagh rings for each other on a trip to Ireland and both wore them daily.   It is not a Hidden Mickey.
