We are typically in bed by 8pm. I dread NYE because of all the fireworks and the loud BOOMS! My poor little dog is going to be terrified all night long. I almost cry thinking about how bad it will be.

I'm with you in that I must work alone in puzzling.

Many years back, my husband bought a long, narrow table that had extensions on both sides. It has been in our living room for years with just a Tiffany lamp. Now, we use that table for our puzzling. He cut large pieces of foam board so we have a foundation for working, and we can complete the puzzle without a problem. Then, we just flip it into a frame and it's ready to hang! So much fun.

I had never done a puzzle before last year and then he started one I hadn't opened. Next thing I knew, we had puzzles everywere! I started with 1000 piece puzzles and most had a haunted house or Halloween theme.

To me, it's fun to work on in between other tasks and relaxes my mind. Even though I fuss and fume while doing it, I do enjoy it.
