Puzzling...

Mom bought me a jigsaw puzzle of Santa as part of my birthday present. It got me itchy to get into puzzles once again. Steff and Bryan also gave us this very cool puzzle that is a picture of us! I’m hoping to put it on our wall in a frame after we put it together. Winter is the perfect time for this sort of relaxing activity. Some people might think it’s dorky…or silly…or even just plain boring. But in the summer…our favorite past time is to sit outside, with a glass of wine and BBQ and enjoy the weather. In the winter we lose that time. And in an attempt to get it back and just to carve out time at home…we purchased this jigsaw puzzle.


After about a solid 2 hours of work we accomplished this much:


And since drafting up this post we finished it. 3 nights of work and we’re done!!


Our next attempt is the one of ourselves. Wish us luck!!

I love it. I was just talking to Brad about doing a puzzle. I love doing them with JT but when it is only 24 pieces, they don't take long. I think I am going to get a harder one for Brad and me.

I'm doing one now that's 1,000 pieces. I'll put a pic up when I'm done, but I'm pretty sure they glued it on the wrong side cause it's starting to look backwards from the picture.

That puzzle is going to be hard. Please don't curse me.
