Road Trip!

And done!

Just completed a Christmas present of mine, a 1000 piece National Parks jigsaw puzzle!

I started it on Christmas day, while watching the NFL football games, and just placed the last piece this morning.

Not too difficult but time consuming. Once I'm in the zone and get cruising, pieces seemingly fall into place.

I'm now thinking a new bucket list item - visit all the National Parks in the US.  Who's in?!

Eat Your Fruits & Vegetables!

I started this 1000 piece puzzle after the Patriots game on Sunday afternoon and just put the last piece in!

I thought it was going to be harder than it turned out to be.

It's a love hate relationship when it comes to me and puzzles; I enjoy doing them, the problem is I can't stop working them once I start, until completed.

Animal Kingdom 2

Another 1000 piece puzzle completed!

This one was a bit more difficult than the previous puzzle I recently finished.  However, I was still able to get it done in a couple three, four days.

Onto the next one...

Animal Kingdom

Well, that didn't take long!

Honestly, I thought this was going to be much more difficult that it turned out to be.  I started it this past Sunday afternoon, while watching football, and finished it last night.

Once I start, that's it. I get fixated and determined.

Animal Kingdom #1

I banged out another 1000 piece puzzle this past week!

I enjoy doing them but hate starting them because I can stop from working them.

I Enjoyed Working This One

And another...

Joe Journeyman

Banged out another puzzle, with some help from Stephanie.

This one a 500 piece puzzle, which is SO much easier and quicker to do then the typical 1000 piece puzzles.

Onto the next one, another 500 piece...

I completed another one, this one in 3-days -

I'll get to Santorini one of these days!

Banged out another jigsaw puzzle this past long weekend.  This one a 1000 piece puzzles. My oldest, who stopped over for dinner on Sunday, helped some.

Reflections

I received this puzzle for Christmas.

I started it on wild card weekend; Saturday during the Bills and Colts game and had it completed by the end of the Bears Saints game on Sunday...

It's Puzzle Season

Yeppers, banged out another 1000 piece puzzle!

This puzzle was a free replacement sent to us from the manufacturer.  I reached out to them after doing a brandy-new, unopened puzzle from Christmas that ended up missing two pieces.

We'll see, maybe I'll done one more...

"Sunday Morning"

Completed another 1000 piece puzzle!

This one was more challenging, so took a little longer.

Onto the next...

"Piece" of Cake II

This puzzle was a little more difficult than the previous completed beer puzzle.

Still 1000 piece.  This puzzle's interlocking pieces were not so much interlocking, adding to the challenge.  Never the less, completed!

Worth noting and rather odd, in the end this puzzle was missing two pieces; one edge and one center piece.  However, it also included a duplicate edge piece - all from a brandy new, previously unopened box.  Rest assured, a sternly written email has already been sent to the manufacturer...

"Piece" of Cake

Ready!  Set!  Go!

Done!

Well, that didn't take me long at all, a couple days at most, if that.

1000 pieces, pfft...

Bottle Caps

I started and completed this 1000 piece puzzle while watching the final weekend of footballs regular season.  First puzzle I've done in a couple years.  Think I'll start another soon.

Country General Store

 

BA BA BOOM!

Completed this 550 piece puzzle while watching the Patriots play like kaaka and lose Sunday night., alas.  Well, at least the NHL and my beloved Boston Bruins are back.  Perhaps, watching them play will easy my football boo boos, sniff.

This one The Art of Michael Matherly, titled "Country General Store".

 

I've gotta tell ya, these 550 piece puzzles are just not challenging.   Back to the 1000 piecers.
