Puzzles we made last year

 We made over 15 puzzles last year in our home. I've always liked doing puzzles, but I've never had so many made in a year! I work on them the most, but if they are not too difficult, my family will help me. I prefer the Ravensburger brand of puzzles. They are of high quality, but of course not cheap. Fun fact! We had a foreign exchange student in our home from Germany when I was 13. She was from the town of Ravensburg! I always think of her when I see a Ravensburger puzzle.

I didn't get a good picture of this one complete, but it was 1,000 pieces and it was different donuts. It was a challenge!

We borrowed this princess one from my mom-in-law and sister-in-law... they love puzzles!

We got a box of puzzles from the Arc store. It said it had 5 500-piece puzzles in it, but there were only three. This one had a few missing pieces.

My parents loaned us this puzzle... it was fun one!

My brother in Texas sent us this very difficult puzzle of Venice. It was 1,000 pieces and I only finished this much before I gave up. Ugh.

This fox puzzle was in the same box as the eagles above and the fairy below.

This one had a lot of gray!

I think this puzzle was my favorite one that we made all year. It was from Goodwill, and we passed it on!

We borrowed this one from my parents too.

This puzzle had 300 big, chunky pieces. It was pretty easy and I liked the picture.

This Chicago puzzle was a challenge, we borrowed it too.

These two (below and above) were borrowed from my mom-in-law and sister-in-law. They were both fun and 1,000 pieces each!

Footloose is one of my favorite movies, and this one came in a movie-like case, It was hard because there was a slow color change. It was 500 pieces.

We made both of these puzzles at the end of March last year, they were the first puzzles that we did. We own them and they are both 500 pieces. There is a lot of yellow in the flower puzzle!

It was fun to make so many puzzles and to keep us busy when so many things were closed and canceled. I'm glad that I take pictures of them to remember them. Seeing the pictures again jogged my memory too. It is interesting how they can all be puzzles, yet the pieces can stay together well or not as much, they can be big or smaller pieces, and they can be all the same type of piece or unusual shapes. Each one is unique, and that keeps it fun. We made a puzzle at Christmas time too, but we didn't finish it until after the New Year. 

Mark 6:20
because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him.

1 Corinthians 12:24
while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

Colossians 3:14
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
