9 days, 2 put-it-togetherer's, uncounted hours, 1000 pieces

If, at our New Year's Day family party, you heard Mom/G/GG talking about the jigsaw puzzle she'd been working on-this is it-from a painting titled "O Christmas Tree" by local artist Robert Duncan of Midway, UT.

Box opened Sunday night, Dec 26th, with edge done by bedtime. The next week it sat on a card table in the family room begging to be worked on when someone had the inclination or spare time. One night, near midnight, as we were struggling with the stockings and firestove, Mom said "Addicting, isn't it?" Yup.

Interestingly enough this camera image of the puzzle provided more detail and better coloring than the actual puzzle, especially of the Christmas tree ornaments and gifts. (I'll try to get a better picture before it gets undone and re-boxed.)

  2. When you box it up, could I borrow it? I'd love to do it. It's a good one.
