Completed Task: 33. Complete A 1000 Piece Puzzle

I have lots of memories about starting puzzles when I was young but for some reason I have none about completing a puzzle. Perhaps this was because I never actually did complete a large-ish puzzle or perhaps this was because I just have no memory of doing so and this was something I wanted to remedy. In addition, when I was living in the UK I had asked for a puzzle board as a Christmas/Birthday present, as the cottage was too small to have a dinning room table in. I got the puzzle board (thanks mum!) and some puzzles but I don’t think I ever finished a puzzle there either.

Completing a 1000 piece puzzle was one of the first tasks I decided to work on. I considered it would be pretty inexpensive, something enjoyable and I had just recently come across the puzzle board. However my attempts at first appeared to be thwarted as I couldn’t find a single puzzle in either the basement or anywhere else in the house. So I decided to buy a new puzzle.

I hadn’t realised how expensive puzzles were now-a-days so was a bit surprised when looking in the local toy store but luckily I still had some left over birthday money. At first I had in my hands a nice scenery puzzle and then I spotted ‘Destiny Wasgij?’. These puzzles are a unique twist on the traditional puzzle as the picture that you make is not the picture that is on the front of the box. Instead you use the picture on the front as a hint to what the picture is (knowing that the puzzle will be a future scene related to the picture on the box).

As you can see from the pictures, the picture on my puzzle box was one of a picnic proposal, and you can also see the outcome. I didn’t keep track of how many days it took me to complete the puzzle but it wasn’t too long and quite quickly became an obsessive task. I am looking forward to eventually unpacking my other puzzles and I will definitely be buying another Wasgij puzzle.
