Our masterpiece

You can't have Christmas break without pulling an
all-nighter doing a puzzle.
(ok we only lasted until midnight but that was close)

Puzzle tips:
You have to get mad at the puzzle dust
that comes out of the box.
Don't be a cheater, take apart the freebie pieces that are already put together!
Some caffeine and
mm's are a must when doing a puzzle,
it helps with the brain power.
You must say over and over
"don't force it."
You are supposed to do the outside of the puzzle first
but make sure if you get all that done and then
leave for a while you have someone watch your 4 yr. old
who will want to take it upon himself
to destroy your hours of work done so that you have start over!
Good music is a must! If your husband is trying to watch sports
on TV always make sure you turn your music up louder and louder
so you can hear it:)
When you finish it, take a picture because you don't want to
leave it on your kitchen table forever!!
Wa- LA now you will have a fabulous
puzzle time, thanks to me!
Cheers!

LOVE THE TIPS, NOT MUCH OF A PUZZLE GAL, BUT I LIKE THE TURNING UP OF THE MUSIC LOUDER AND LOUDER.
