Sadly this puzzle was missing one stinkin' piece! I am going to leave it on the table for a bit and assembly another on top of it and I will take it down at a later date. I just hate to put it away so quickly since I am kinda used to seeing it on the table!

By the way... if you recognize any of the buildings please leave a comment and let me know which one it is and what it is called.  I recognize some but I definitely do not know most of them! Of course my favorite is the Sears Tower (now the Willis) in Chicago! 

Thanks for stopping by,

see ya next time;

hopefully it won't be so long between puzzles again!

Well I have been busy, Busy, BUSY working on this puzzle!

I have most of the buildings put together though I still need to work on their reflections before I work on the sky! I noticed I missed getting the border in the picture but it is there...somewhere! LOL

Well it has been a crazy puzzling ten or eleven days!

After I got the border together for this one I just sat looking at the box of pieces like, NOW WHAT! LOL  There are soooo many pieces and I felt like I just had no idea where to start. It took me at least 2 days to just sort the pieces but once I finally did that I couldn't decide which color pile to start with!

First I decided to do the bridge because I thought that it would provide references points - ha ha, no reference points especially since I seem to be missing a section of it at the moment! So now I am trying to put the buildings together. Having both the building and their reflections is a bit of a challenge but I am totally enjoying it!

This is my current progress picture.

Just a quick puzzle update!

I started this puzzle thinking I would be able to get it finished before January 29th but it was not to be! This puzzle proved to be more difficult than I expected.

This puzzle is pretty cool because the pieces are wooden! I have never seen one like this before except for little kid puzzles. 

I have put this puzzle away in it's roll up mat to start another.

Monday January 29th was National Puzzle Day! I belong to a few puzzle groups on Facebook and they were talking about "The 2018 Global Jigsaw Jubilee" so of course I wondered what is this? I looked into it and found that is is a group of Puzzlers that enjoy putting together puzzles.  I requested membership and they accepted me... whohoo. It is not really a competition but just a fun time where we put together puzzles of 1,200 pieces of more for three months and post progress pictures. We can win puzzles but it is mainly for fun so I needed to be ready for the start of the Jubilee so I ended up putting away this puzzle.

Anyways... I had already decided to start my first ever 3,000 piece puzzle with another friend and fellow stitcher, Deb H as a Puzzle-A-Long on January 1st and she agreed to push back the date for me. 

This is the picture of the boxtop.

Once I actually opened the box I has second thoughts but then I figured it is just a puzzle with tons of pieces so I can do it...it will just take LONGER! ha ha 

I got the border all put together and it is massive! The puzzle size is 48 x 32 and it is taking up my ENTIRE workspace! Here it is and now I will start on the "insides" this evening as soon as I finish sorting it which I am almost finished with.  I will be posting pictures of my progress along the way.

WISH ME LUCK, I think I will need it! LOL
