After 2 Years, 8 Months, and 10 Days

I am elated to announce that SECTION 1 IS DONE!!!! I can’t believe it took me this long to finish the first section, but I am so proud of myself for sticking to my committment of getting this puzzle put together.  I am now officially 25% done!  Doesn’t seem like much in the overall scheme of things, but for me, it’s a pretty huge accomplishment since I’ve never completed any puzzle over 1500 pieces before this. It has been an…
