~ Jigsaw Puzzles Completed 2017 - Part 1 ~

It has been a while since I have posted. Basically, just life in general has kept me away. I have been working on jigsaw puzzles though. I've always did them, even going back to my childhood, but lately an obsession has grown. 

Jigsaw puzzle images display some of the most beautiful and finest art. There is nothing better than seeing that image appear during the building of the puzzle and the "wow" factor when the final image is complete.

It is a proven fact that working jigsaw puzzles is a stress reliever.  A more interesting fact is that you use both sides of the brain when working them. That's some nice brain exercise!
