A Completed Life

A Completed Life

It’s been close to nine months since I put the last piece into place on the 24,000 piece Life: The Great Challenge puzzle, and tonight I FINALLY moved it off the table and took pictures of it mostly assembled. I have not connected the sections yet as the final section is very weak from a bad puzzle sheets experience I had. The kids and I had to re-work about 25 pieces tonight that had come loose from the backing. I…

The Show Is Over — Say Goodnight!

The Show Is Over — Say Goodnight!

I am thrilled to announce that on February 2, 2019 at 11:40 p.m. I happily placed the final piece into my glorious 24,000 piece Life puzzle.  My life is now complete!  ??? Wow, what an incredible ride this has been!  For more than 8.5 years I have been dutifully working on this big, beautiful beast of a puzzle.  I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment I have spent working on it.  I never once thought I would give up, or that…

I Have Returned!

You know it’s a bad sign when it’s been so long since you’ve posted anything on your blog that you can’t even remember how to get it into it to create a new post!  Yep, that was me a few minutes ago… Luckily I didn’t take me very long to remember, but holy cow it has been over 2 years since my last post…that is insane!  I probably have no readers / followers left anymore, but that’s okay.  I’m sure…

The Final Section – Progress Update

As most of you know, I started working on Section 4 in my family room while still finishing up Section 3 on the puzzle table in the basement.  Back in April I finally finished Section 3, but until today I had not had time to sit down there and flip the section over and put contact paper on the back. Luckily, Cole took a long nap today, and Derek was willing to play in the basement while I worked to…

Chug, Chug, Chugging Away…

Holy Moly! How on earth did I get this far into 2015 and not post any updates on the puzzle blog?! There really is no excuse for my lack of blogging so I won’t bore you with my litany of ready excuses. Instead I will just dive in and show you pictures of the latest status. I have been able on occasion to work on Section 3 down in my puzzle room. Here is the current status of that section……

Simultaneous Sections

Simultaneous Sections

As I’ve said before, I am now at a point with Section 3 that it’s very difficult to work on it in the family room where I can also spend time with Randy.  The remaining pieces are scattered throughout the section, and make it difficult to work on outside of the puzzle room. So, I decided to start sorting Section 4 and get some of the bigger areas out of the way that I can work on up in the…
