My son and i are working on a 3000 piece puzzle. Its a challenge for sure. Normally a 1000 piece puzzle takes a couple of days. This one has been in the table at least two weeks now. Attachments:

I wish I could show you! Still waiting delivery on 3 1000 piece puzzles.
I had gotten 6 1000 piece puzzles on Black Friday at Target for 1.97 each. We did all of those over the winter. Had just finished the last one in February. Didn’t buy anymore thinking “spring is on the horizon and we will be out and about in the better weather”. Bad choice on my part. Giving them to friends that love puzzles when we finished each one was also a poor choice. Lol

scrappinghappy, the pieces of your puzzle look tiny! What are the dimensions of the completed image? It looks really small for a 3000 piece.

Here is a Ravensburger I finished last week. Large pieces, so it wasn't too bad. I'm currently working on a 1000 piece Ravensburger that puzzle that has very tiny pieces. It's been sitting a few days untouched.

scrappinghappy , the pieces of your puzzle look tiny! What are the dimensions of the completed image? It looks really small for a 3000 piece. Regular size. I’m not sure the exact size but its huge! The table its on is 4x8 feet and it didnt fit on the width so more than 4’ wide. There’s a good portion we havent worked on at all under the trays on the left. It goes almost to the edge of the table. We are about 30% done

Those are incredible. I'm working on a 500 piece since I'm a novice - I have a few more ordered and got a folding table to use but I'm short on space and the table is only 30 x 50.

I'll try to remember to take a picture of mine.. I finished a couple of days ago and ready to tear apart. It was an easy one.. only 500 pieces.. I am used to the 1,000 piece kind. But it was still fun and I love the picture.

This is a 2000 piece one I did a few weeks ago. I’ve probably done a further 7 or 8 since then, but I didn’t take any photos of them. SO cute!!!

Where are you getting your puzzles? I have none and want to get started. Keep in mind I'm a complete novice.

That's a LONG time and I didn't ever get a tracking number so I had no clue when they'd be here. I already did one of the 500 piece ones last night. I have 4 more to do and a bunch more in my cart on Amazon.

We did this White Mountain 1000 piece puzzle on Saturday. It is so well made, we can pick it up by the edge, lift it up and it stays together. Crazy!

The old Presidio at Golden Gate Bridge! I was always envious of those who got to live there as it is a gorgeous spot. Who makes that puzzle?

This thread is making me sad... I have no puzzles and have to work. I also have a 4 year old and a cat who wouldn’t leave it alone.

Where are you getting your puzzles? I have none and want to get started. Keep in mind I'm a complete novice. The 3 I have coming are from Silsbury. My stepdad always sends me their catalog. I went online and ordered them. The choices are slim at the moment but I found 3 I think I’ll enjoy doing. They were all on sale for 9.99 down from 16.99 so that was a plus. I’m really kicking myself for not getting a ton more from Target on Black Friday! 1000 piece puzzles for 1.97! I only got 6. I should have bought one of each. There were like 20 or more.
