When my parents went on their Europe Trip last month, mum brought back a 5000 pieces Ravensburger Puzzle. I don’t have anything against jigsaw puzzles but I have this issue with losing interest in things that are too repetitive. Sure the puzzle is beautiful to look at, but who would have thought it would cause so much mental stress…?

1 month 1 week later…

You can’t really tell, but our table was actually too short for the puzzle! We had to do the sky on another table and that just made things a little more difficult to deal with. But in the end, it felt great putting in the last few pieces, to be able to step back and breath a sigh of relief knowing that ALL 5000 pieces were in place.

The last problem is then the question of what will happen to the puzzle. Mum already decided to replace the old jigsaw in our family room so we had to get it framed. It turns out that the 70 euro Ravensburger Puzzle will cost A$250 to be framed! ah…. I’m just hoping mum doesn’t buy another one too soon (she’s been talking about a 13,000 puzzle!!)
