Another One off the List!

Well, it's nearly three o'clock and I've been pretty unproductive all day. Chalk it up to a Monday, I suppose. But, as promised, here's some photographic evidence of another item that we checked off our "101 in 1001" list this weekend!

There she is, in all her glory. All 2000 pieces of her. And I didn't get a full picture of the table, but we needed to have the leaf in our table in order for the puzzle to fit and still have room to eat. The puzzle was massively huge. And see that fairly dark spot of forest in the middle of the puzzle? It got to the point at the end that we just put the pieces in piles based on shape and just tried them in that way. There was no way to discern color/shading differences (although I can see the different shapes/colors now. Go figure). All in all, it was a good two weeks spent--we've considered gluing it and hanging it, but it's so huge we have no idea where we would put it. Maybe we'll do that for the next puzzle--it's identical in size and number of pieces, but it's a depiction of Starry Night! I'm sure that one will take us way longer than two weeks.
