HOW JIGSAW PUZZLES GOT INTO OUR LIFE
Most everyone agrees that jigsaw puzzles are a great learning tool for kids, and adults enjoy them too. At one time, every time I talked to a certain friend, she was working a puzzle!
Not being able to understand her fascination, I went and got one for my husband and me to work on. I spread it out on the dining room table, and for three days, after work, we didn’t do anything else but work that puzzle! My husband, a dedicated news watcher, didn’t even turn on the TV! I didn’t want to cook dinner so we ate cereal. Even before work, we drank our coffee while working that puzzle!

Some time later, my husband’s construction work slowed down so much that he started looking for something else to do. After seeing a scroll saw demo at a home and garden show, he had the feeling that he could master it, and so became a crafter, making beautiful animal jigsaw puzzles which he persuaded me to draw for him. Before long, we had more than 100 puzzle patterns and had to move out of our little place, seen on the left!
