I bought a 'World Map' 300-piece jigsaw puzzle recently that was donated to the Op Shop I work at, and when I got home I just put it in my room and looked at the box and thought to myself, "am I ever really going to do that puzzle, and why would I really want to do it anyway?"I guess I decided to buy the 'World Map' 300-piece jigsaw puzzle because I had recently watched a REMORANDOM video about jigsaw puzzles (as well as upside-down pineapples, Chinese finger traps and WD40) and heard that the first jigsaw puzzle was a map. Plus, the only jigsaw puzzle I ever bought and put together that I can remember was a 24-peice world globe, which I wrote about in this old post -
24 World Pieces into One Peace?The trouble with buying secondhand jigsaw puzzles is that you never know if all the pieces are in the box, as no one counts all the pieces in every donated puzzle box, because we just don't have the people to do so with the number of jigsaws donated.  |
| What the Op Shop gave all of us volunteers a few months back:-) |
And when I opened the box and saw all the pieces, I decided that I didn't have the will or patience to do the puzzle and I re-donated it back to the store.
Then this week I saw in an ALDI catalogue that there was a colourful moth/butterfly puzzle on sale, which made me think of the moth I saw on my back door a few weeks back - I'm thinking about doing 'The Butterfly of the Night' jigsaw and framing it to hang in my computer room. Possibly replacing my Paulie Mann Owl print, which I will donate to the Op Shop.
