I refuse to buy brand new puzzles if I can avoid it. When I go to thrift stores I always check the puzzles. If the boxes are unopened I buy them regardless. (Unless I really hate the picture, which is rare.) If they are really cheap, I'm talking $.50 or less, then I might pick them up anyways on the chance that the pieces might not all be there. That's why I have so many.
My husband likes to organize stuff. (He is a melancholy according to Florence Littauer.) So being that I am 6-months pregnant, I asked him to climb up into the closet to find the next lowest number puzzle I had and get it down for me. While he did that, he sorted all the puzzles by piece-number size. I almost wish he hadn't because he then told me that I had something like 20+ 500-piece puzzles. WOW! That's alot. I know there are some 1,000-piece and one 5,000 piece as well. So this project is going to take me awhile.
For now, here are some new puzzles that I've done recently:
500 Pieces 7-28-12
You're pregnant?! Congratulations!!! This is baby number 5, right? Boy or girl or do you want to be surprised?
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of puzzles. Why would you rather work on those though instead of the Life puzzle? Is it just because these can be done quickly?
Oops, I just saw a comment from you on a previous post that pretty much answered all the questions I just asked you again above. LOL Sorry about that. Somehow I'd missed that comment earlier. So you can ignore the comment above for the most part.
