I bought a gift for my kids to work on throughout the winter months. I had come across a company that made custom puzzles. I had them create a custom puzzle of the dog we had lost just recently. I wanted them to have great memories while doing this. I also wanted it to take them most of the winter so I had their photo puzzle 2000 pcs sent to them on Thanksgiving Day.
They loved working on it every day. I could hear them telling stories about her and the crazy things she used to do. How she had chewed a hole in the sofa one day and my husband wanted to sell her right away.
It took them two months to get half way through the photo puzzle 2000 pcs. I figured that they were doing pretty good, since it is winter here, until April. They had plenty of time to be locked in doors working on the custom puzzle that I had gotten them.
One day in March, they called me in to the study to see that their masterpiece was completed. They were all so proud of it. We could not bear to take it apart, so we had it framed at a local frame shop. We look at it every day and smile, thinking about her, and all of the hours that the kids put into making the puzzle. I would recommend getting custom puzzles for anyone you know.
