    Yeah, we still do jigsaw puzzles, but usually only around the holidays when we have time to finish it. With four cats, if you leave it long enough, you'll be missing a piece, lol.

    I did a few Puz 3-D's last year. R2-D2 and the Space Shuttle. We took down the shuttle though when my kid changed his room, so it's back in the box.

    R2 is around here somewhere, lol.


    I used to do puzzles all the time as a kid (no cat back then lol).


    Ever do the 5000 piece solid white one? FUN!!

      I do with my nieces and nephew a lot. There's that spray or whatever that can hold the puzzles together and you can actually hang them up. It's some sort of adhesive. We like to do them as a family, plus I think it's a great way to help develop the little one's mind. We have started off small, but someday - hopefully we'll get to the big ones.

        I used to shallac them. Works just as well. I used to have the Earth on my wall when I was in my teens.

        But they would change color over time from the shallac. Turn brownish yellow. I wonder how those sprays hold up over time.

          I'm not sure, but I'd like them to last a while. I'm just doing the best I can to help my sister and her partner raise her kids and being the only real male in their lives, I'm trying to be a good "father like" figure for them. They just bring joy to my life, so I do the best I can to make theirs happy, because growing up in foster care definitely put a scar on them and they need all the help they can get.

          It'd be nice down the road, ten years - whenever, just to show them what they did then and what they're doing in the future to look back - reflect and show them how much they've grown since they first came into my families lives. I don't know, I'm sort of a sucker for things like that, but I want to do whatever I can to help these kids grow up right, even if it means doin' puzzles.
