Jigsaw Puzzles
Recently I've been doing some puzzles in my spare time. The first one is called "Crescent Moon Bay" by Darrell Bush (300 pieces, 21.25 in. x 15 in.) and the second one is just a Bear (100 pieces, 12.5 in. x 15 in.) and they were glued to a foam board.
I have also ordered a puzzle with a custom image on it for something special, and if it doesn't make it in what I'm going to enter it in, then I will post it here. Anyone want to guess what it is? It's going to be 11 in. x 14 in. with 252 pieces.
Also, I have recently discovered this AMAZING puzzle. It measures 14 FEET by 6 FEET, with 24,000 pieces. It's called "LIFE: The Great Challenge" by Royce B. McClure. It costs around $300 depending on where you buy it at. In the future, my family plans on buying it so we can all put it together. The puzzle comes in 4 bags inside a pretty big box, and each bag contains a section of the puzzle (which means that all the pieces in one bag are sorted so that they will go together with one another, how neat!). For more details, you can visit their website:

And now, on to the pictures!
I will make more picture posts as I do more puzzles.

When I saw the size compared to the lady I was thinking. OH GOD THIS THING IS HUGE
There was a website called Jigzone I used to use where you can upload pictures and turn them into jigsaw puzzles. I think you can buy them too.

I just want to say that I have purchased the Eagle puzzle today and will begin to work on it shortly! I also bought some "Save-a-Puzzle" glue. Hopefully it will be easier to work with than the glue-stick I was using (even though it did a great job).

I've checked my email today, and I have my secret puzzle entered into something special! It might be awhile before you get to see it though.
Also, yesterday my mother has bought 3 1,000 piece puzzles for me at a yardsale. There's a few bunches of pieces put together in each box already (the previous owner didn't scramble them too well it seems), so I think that will help me out a bit. Hopefully this won't take me months to do.
