1. I love puzzles!

I don't have the time to actually do big puzzles like that one so I do them online. Not nearly as good but it suffices my desire to put stuff together in tiny little increments

Very nice!

[Flying Squirrel]

42. All done! :)

[MuseRider]

74. Way to go!

Very nice. So much fun to do. YAY!

[Wounded Bear]

2. You are obviously far too organized...

I command you to stop immediately, put the pieces back in the box, tape it up, and donate it to Goodwill. You are making the rest of us look bad.



J/K, I hope obviously. Challenging puzzle. Good job!

[hibbing]

12. My thought too

It looks like you have a serious system down. We did one over Christmas, it was cool Beatles Sergeant Pepper's album cover with the album pulled out so it was rounded on one side. It was also a two sided puzzle, hard but fun.

Peace

[Wounded Bear]

59. Now you're just showing off...

Congrats! Quite the accomplishment.

[Phentex]

3. Wow!

You are dedicated. We always do one around Thanksgiving and sometimes around Christmas. I get obsessed with it for a couple of days and then my back starts to hurt. It's funny how the longer you stare at it, the more you start to see all the color differences. Good luck!

Cool pics!

[Flying Squirrel]

44. Done!

[LiberalElite]

4. Well done so far - but it's obvious that

you don't live with cats.

[Laffy Kat]

5. LOL. I know! I was going to post the same thing.

My kitteh would be happy to "randomize" the pieces for LE.

[Flying Squirrel]

46. Done!

[Flying Squirrel]

10. Copurrrnicus is outside the pic

(That was the previous puzzle, we had to move to a bigger table for this one)

He walks on the pieces at least once a day.

We just adopted a semi-feral cat too (last month) but so far she is too timid to jump up onto the table.

[Flying Squirrel]

45. All done!

[LiberalElite]

69. Wow! nt

[2naSalit]

78. LOL!!!

[Fla Dem]

6. Amazing puzzle and looks like it will be a wonderful picture when through, but

I sincerely hope you don't end up with one piece missing.

Please share with us the finished product.

[Flying Squirrel]

47. Puzzle is done!

[Fla Dem]

70. Wonderful, congratulations! nt

[Brother Buzz]

7. You'd be further along if you wern't playing supermarket Monopoly

Oh, have you got an extra Z608B?

[Flying Squirrel]

48. Eh, is that a real number?

Puzzle is done!

[Brother Buzz]

77. Real number and congratulations

Now take it apart, flip them over and do it again; two puzzles in one.

[IrishEyes]

8. I love jigsaw puzzles.

When I was a kid, my parents would give me a jigsaw puzzle and I would be busy for hours. I have tried online puzzles but it just isn't as much fun for me. I did a jigsaw puzzle when i was cat sitting for my brother once. I would be working on the puzzle and suddenly the ninja cat would come out of nowhere and try to steal a piece.

[Flying Squirrel]

49. Teh catz did not win this time

Puzzle is done!

[IcyPeas]

9. the gray elephant's head...

must have been difficult..... all pretty much the same color, also the stripes for the zebras. Yikes, how do you do that? Looks like it's going to be beautiful. Have fun. (and I agree with above poster -- please let us see the finished picture).

[Flying Squirrel]

50. The whole thing was a pain

But it's done now!

[Tobin S.]

11. You and your wife are obviously zen masters.

I don't have nearly the amount of discipline required for such an undertaking.

[Flying Squirrel]

51. I wish.

The catz are the real Zen masters. Puzzle is done!

34. Having 2 cats, this would be darn near impossible in my home!!

Impressive

[Flying Squirrel]

36. I have 2 cats, but

One is a newly adopted semi-feral cat who is still a bit skittish and won't get up on the table. The other is 8 years old and pretty well-behaved, he'll get in the way once in awhile and sometimes mess things up a little but not too bad. Here he is checking things out today:





He's a real sweetie pie.
