Ready for the Lights

 

Noel finished the puzzle today. All of the missing pieces were found in shoes, on the floor, and with all of the other pieces. 

When I said I may not mount it with the lights, Noel was sad because she wants to see it with the lights now that she put so much work into it. I told her I would work on it, but I ram into a small issue; the puzzle glue that cam with the puzzle is solid. It will have to wait until I can get some glue. I guess we will just cover it up for a few more days. 

Puzzle Update

 The puzzle is coming along decently. Noel has done most of the work, of course. I put in a few pieces and got yelled at for daring to want to do the mountains/plateaus before the sky was done. We’re past that past now, so I will probably work on it a bit more. I’m now sure what order she wants to do it, but technically it’s my puzzle…right?

We did hit a few small snags. First, we are most likely missing at least two pieces. We bought it at a thrift store and knew that was possible. Second, it is on our kitchen table, and eating around it can be difficult. We have covered it a few times, but we mostly just have every one get their food in the kitchen and sit down. 

With pieces missing, I’m not sure I will be able to Mount it with the lights which makes me a bit sad. Maybe, I can use the lights for something else. Christmas is coming quickly…

Puzzle Time

 For date night, I thought it would be fun to get a puzzle from the thrift store to put together. I was a bit shocked at the selection. There weren’t so many that it was hard to make a decision, but there were enough that there was a decision to be made. We ended up buying two: one that lights up and one with a pretty winter scene. 

When we got home, we decided to started with the light up puzzle which has to be put together before mounting it with lights. We spent about two hours trying to do the edges, but didn’t get too far. Then, Noel took over after we went to bed and almost finished the edges. I have a feeling she will be the one to do the majority of it, but we will all work on it until it’s done.
