LOL! This is taking me longer then I thought it would! I bought a puzzle with a few missing pieces at the thrift shop. The pieces are like brand new, but man, I got a 1000 pieces puzzle and it's taking me so long to come up with a few good clusters! I'm getting it figured and soon can finish my creations. I'll send on time. My hubby is a puzzle whiz and I'm sure he'll help this weekend, but wow, I've learned something here, it's better to buy a puzzle that is more like a 100 piece for a project like this, having such small pieces is meaning it's taking so long just to get started! LOL!

Your message gave me a chuckle. I was going to use the 1000 piece puzzle but Cocoa said she used the 100 piece to make hers. So, I started digging in our game closet and finally found a 100 piece - but this thing has huge pieces. I'm going to put it together now to check the size compared to Cocoa's. Celestial I'm thinking I will have an easier time putting it together. LOL

Well, mine are finished and will go out in tomorrow's mail. That puzzle may have been easy to put together, but I found this to be a difficult challenge. I will alter the rest of the puzzle simply for the experience. Thank you, Cocoa, for the test of my creativity. Joan

grandmaroro, I'm glad you got your puzzle together. I'm curious! How many pcs. did you use? I'm planning another swap in April so I hope you'll join that one. I love altering puzzle pcs, I even bought a children's puzzle to alter. I had my grandchildren put it together so I would not feel guilty using a new one!
