puzzles

I grew up in a family of puzzle lovers. Some people think I'm crazy, but my favorite puzzles are the detailed ones.  I find them interesting and a little easier (there's more to match up) than just one single color of sky with a straight wisp of sky. Some of my family thinks I'm insane on this point. (But if you notice more people help out when I buy the puzzle! :)
I got my puzzle catalog in the mail yesterday.  www.bitsandpieces.com
 They have the coolest puzzles around (kind of like Hallmark's old puzzles).  The only problem is that they cost a little more. Sometimes I can find comparable puzzles at Michael's (and they have 40% off coupons!). This year we worked a 1,000 piece I Spy puzzle from Michael's.  Well, that was the first puzzle we worked.  We actually did two more and NONE on Thanksgiving Day! 
I'm seriously contemplating getting two for next year...and one of them without borders! :)  Now if I can just convince the in-laws to let me choose the puzzle!

i love that!! we love puzzles at our house too. I am always amazed at how long the boys will actually spend working on them--I enjoy a good puzzle, but they definitely got their love for it from their dad!

I love puzzles! I'm like you- I prefer lots of details. I have some great ones you could borrow:)I'm wanting to try my hand at "Bits n' Pieces" mystery puzzles where you solve the crime based on the picture on the puzzle.
