Do you like to play with jigsaw puzzles? I love them! I know many people did puzzles during the pandemic to relax while at home. In fact on Facebook, Oprah Winfrey posted about playing a puzzle with partner Stedman Graham in the early days of quarantine May 2020.
Last Fall 2021, my grief and depression flared up. I needed to take a break from some of my regular creative activities and was looking for some alternatives. I remembered I got a puzzle a while back as a gift and dived into it. Boy, this was perfect medicine! It was a fun diversion to help take my mind off the things. I worked on it regularly and it melted the stress away as my mind focused on the pieces and how they fit together. I felt so accomplished when I finished it.

After having such a joyful experience, I went to Amazon to find and order more. Galison 500 piece puzzles are my favorites with their sweet little scenes. The pieces are firm and fit great together. Here is the link. Galison Puzzles
I use a hard 20x30 poster board from the dollar store since I don't have any space for a large puzzle. This works out great because I can move it around and put it on top of a tv tray.
Here are some of my favorite finished puzzles. Take a look!
Here is my first 1,000 piece puzzle. I wanted to give up a few times because it was taking too long. But then my husband said he knew I could do it. So I had to press on to prove him right. LOL!
