Been away and thinking of "The World"

I know I have been away for a while, but I have been obsessing over working on this puzzle. Now if I could use this dedication in my job, I'd be the perfect (almost) worker. I don't know what it is, but even if I get stuck with the puzzle, I just keep going. I guess its because I am doing this for myself that it makes a huge difference. When we encounter problems at work, we create excuses out of nowhere in order to get out of it. Basically take no responsibility for it.

The puzzle dilemma

So I have started working on my puzzle and realized that my puzzle mat is too small. It only holds jigsaw puzzles up to 6,000 pieces. And in my search for finding a larger puzzle mat, I found out that it doesn't exist. Anyone know where a larger map for puzzles up to 9,000 pieces can be found? If anyone knows let me know.

Here it is!!

So my puzzle came in the mail today!!! I am soo excited to work on it. The box weighs 11 pounds, and it is beautiful. M I look forward to working on this puzzle with you and this time you can't run away this time cause you are staying with us. mu ha ha ha :) Just kidding!!!

Life is truly a mystery

As most of know, Patrick Swayze passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age 0f 57. This year has just been so depressing. Important and iconic people in our lives slowly leaving this planet. I think of it as God needs them more next to him rather than living here on Earth. Hopefully, they can solve the puzzle of life from up there for us :)

RIP to all those that have passed away

The puzzle is on its way

So I contacted the website from where I purchased my puzzle and found out that it was back ordered, but they didn't update the website to state it. The puzzle will be sent out on Wednesday or Thursday with Priority Mail. I was expecting it to take over a week to get to me, but with the upgraded mailing system it'll only take 2-3 days. So excited. I know I say that now, but I have a feeling I am gonna get aggravated very easily.

Start of a new puzzle!!!

So I bought the World Map 1611 puzzle yesterday. I look forward to getting the email notifying me that my puzzle has been put in the mail as is on its way. I will have something to look forward to do on the weekends now and a new challenge to take on.

And the winner is...

So with a vote of 6 to 5, The World Map 1611 jigsaw puzzle has won. So this weekend's plan includes purchasing the 9,000 piece puzzle from Ravensburger.com. I will post pictures and my progress with the puzzle week by week or as often as I can. Looking forward to starting another one. I just hope this doesn't take me a year to do, but I have a feeling it'll be 2 years.

Welcome Back Me

So I was in Salt Lake City over the holiday weekend for a family reunion on my husband's side. We had a lot of fun. Beautiful scenery and mountains galore. Got to see my niece and nephew and they are as cute as ever. We ended up going on the Tram at Snowbird to the top of the mountain range. I refused to go to the edge to see the view, because it was just too high. But looking straight ahead the view was amazing. Talk about a panoramic puzzle :) !!!!!

Holiday Weekend

Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone. I will out from Friday through Monday so won't be blogging. There are five days left in the voting poll and it is tied so far. So by the time I get back you could be the one that decides which jigsaw puzzle I do.

Happy Labor Day!!!

Arts and Crafts Convention

So I was doing some research and found that there is an association that exists for games and puzzles (Association for Games and Puzzles). Next year they have a 5 day Carribean cruise with vendors and all the amenities of being on a cruise ship. Now who wouldn't enjoy that. Check out the link http://www.agpc.com.
