Christmas Puzzle
One of my mom’s friends (whom I’ve known basically all my life) offered to give us a stack of puzzles. And by stack, I mean 35 or 40 of them. They are mostly 500 piece puzzles, which are a little easier then the 1,000 piece puzzles we normally do, but that’s not a problem. This is the first of those that we’ve done. In addition to the somewhat larger piece size, this one also had more unusual piece shapes, which for me makes a puzzle that much easier, because I look for pieces as much by shape as by the picture.
As you may or may not know, our family has this thing where we don’t look at the picture while we’re doing a puzzle. That makes it a little more challenging but it also gives us that much more satisfaction when we finish it.
This puzzle was missing a piece, as you can see about a third of the way up from the bottom a few ‘columns’ in from the left.
