I love puzzles, and can remember doing them as a young child, though I don’t remember how it all started. I don’t necessarily have vivid memories of anyone in my family doing them. I love putting the pieces together with jigsaw puzzles! In a life full of busy schedules and hectic lives doing puzzles can be relaxing.
Though I haven’t done very many physical puzzles in the last few years, I do them on my iPad via an app all the time. Not long after my stepfather passed away my mother bought a bunch of puzzles and did quite a few so the love of physical puzzles was revived! I don’t know about you, but I have an “order” to putting my puzzles together.
First, you have to dump it all out on a nice big table (or 2 tables if you have a big puzzle).
Second, you find all your outer pieces.
Third, you start finding inside pieces that can go together. Yeah…mom is working on this puzzle (and I’ve snuck in a few “connections” here and there, but we have a long way to go! I will be sure to share a picture on Instagram when it’s all done!
In honor ofย National Puzzle Day today –ย January 29th, Hallmark has sent me a beautiful puzzle – Ripe for the Picking to try out from their new collection of adult puzzles (not “adult” adult, but you know…not large pieces or low piece count for kids). ย Of course, given the name National Puzzle Day I took to Google to find out the origin, and it seems there is no realย evidence to suggest that this is truly a โNationalโ ย day, which requires an act of congress. But, hey, we can still partake and have some fun putting together a puzzle to celebrate the (not so) National day!
Hallmark’s new puzzle collection ranges from Tropical Wonders to Pedal to the Metal to New England Afternoon and beyond!
