Well I finished my 1000 piece puzzle today! It took me five days. Now what do I do?


Do it again but upside down. Not you upside down, obviously, but with the picture side down on the table...

Two jigsaw puzzles for the price of one. Happy Yorkshire Day!


Hi Tall Guy! That's not a bad idea, but I want to frame it now. But I did find another movie poster collage puzzle that looks pretty cool.

Take it apart and do it again. Maybe you can do it in 3 days?

Hell is an infinite jigsaw puzzle. Actually, Hell is a medium-sized jigsaw puzzle. I hate the bloody things.

But they're so therapeutic!

This is one which I found challenging (I'm posting this to see if I can get this right ... otherwise all you'll see is a line of text smile)

Weird. I was just leafing through one of Mrs Jehannum's magazines when I saw an advert for jigsaw puzzles based on old English county maps. They actually look interesting. I just don't have enough patience and the payoff for completing them seems very mininal.

Haha, yes, there is that WTF do I do with this now feeling, the 3 years later, when you've finally completed it.

I know right? There isn't really a payoff, more like a sudden void in my life. Like, okay I did it, now what?

But I think its not about the payoff but the journey. There's something therapeutic about reverting back to a child like frame of mind where your matching basic forms and shapes into a larger image.

I like to frame them when I'm finished, some have really cool artwork. And they're more sturdy then posters.

Yes Indeedy.
And look at all those adult colouring books that are now big sellers!

As a child, I never made jigsaw puzzles. I didn't know why, but my parents didn't buy them for me. I liked the different mysteries of the hand motor day more. And then he gave it up altogether. I got http://www.sharpe-etext.com/ and started reading only them. I gave up all kinds of games and entertainment. I was very addicted to books. But in one year, I saw a jigsaw puzzle in a thousand pieces based on my favorite book. I was a fan of this story, and I was able to decide to buy puzzles. I collected them for a long time. This was my first experience in this business. The puzzle picture turned out to be gorgeous.

That looks both frustrating and magnificent. There had to be a sense of accomplishment when you finished it. Bravo!!

Thank you! Another I found somewhat more challenging (I'd borrowed it and wasn't aware of the missing pieces):


Apparently, it's somewhere famous ...

OMG, here are some challenging works. I have always loved doing puzzles with my kids. I usually buy 1000+ pieces of puzzles, and we pick up a weekend when we eat sweets and do puzzles.
It's a family tradition that we have had for almost five years, and it makes us closer since everyone is leaving their phones apart and we are doing something together. My kids enjoy the challenge, and sometimes we are putting a goal to make everything faster than the previous time. Another game that we like is online, and only me and my husband are playing when we are getting bored at work. It's https://online-jigsaw-puzzles.com/ . We are challenging each other as well.

I just finished a puzzle after 3 weeks. Yet, on the box it states "4 - 6 years"! Oh, yeah!

wink

That sounds similar to the boxes of wine I used to buy: it said on the box that the contents should last 4 - 6 weeks but they never seemed to last more than 4 - 6 days!

As for Jigsaws ... I never seem to have time these days and haven't done one for ages frown

Music written by talented composers specifically for computer and video games can be just as impressive as the world's chart hits - to fully enjoy it during the game and beyond. To do this, come equipped with a suitable powerful laptop with excellent sound. The soundtracks can be melodic and calm, aggressive and dancing, with or without vocals - everyone will find something to their liking. Personally, I liked the soundtrack from the game "The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt" the most. It seamlessly combines folk music and battle hymns, and the overall sound has Slavic motifs emphasized by spiritual chants. But the only thing is that I definitely haven't played it in a couple of years. And after https://wolfwinnercasino.com/login1 I heard this soundtrack and inexpressible nostalgia came over me.
