The Pieces Have All Fallen Into Place!

You may remember THIS POST, in which I had just learned that I still love doing jigsaws.


Well, between us this week dad and I managed to get from this:

to this:



I have to say that my addictive tendencies  came out again....every time I passed the table, I just HAD to have another little look and another little 'fiddle'...poor dad- I borrowed it for him, and he hardly got a look in!

You realise that now I have a table covered in jigsaw pieces (yes, we've started another one!) and one covered in scrappy goodness...just as well DH is away at the moment! ONE table covered in 'things' is one thing...I just don't know what he'd think about TWO!!

Talking of scrapping, I got another couple of pages done for DD's NYC album..this photograph made me laugh...I could just picture Imane singing at the top of her voice, not caring who was watching!



Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    Hi Alison, Thanks for popping by. I take my hat off to you. It doesn't look like an easy jigsaw! But how proud you must have to been to get through it. Love the finished result too!

    Nice job with that jigsaw - so much of it looks like its the same colour that it can't have been an easy one!

    Ohhhhh! I LOVE the black background on your page!

    I love puzzles but my husband would flip if I had to leave one out all the time to finish it, so I don't. Really need to get my own scrap room, then I could have a puzzle corner for when I need more inspiration.
