I break me down and put them away. I should donate them. I know one guy who used to get his framed. But I can't be bothered with that.

seesaw, The Schmidt 1000 piece by Ciro Marchetti, entitled Rainbow Sky was imported from Germany and I purchased it from a lady in California. PM me if you would like her contact information.

Hairball, Hello. I pass them on to other local people who like doing jigsaws. It is too costly to ship them.

Reason I asked is, I found out about 3 yrs ago that the soldiers overseas love them in their care packages, gives them something to do and think about. Some of them work on them in their makeshift rooms, and others in the makeshift day rooms.

Hairball, I never thought of that. It makes sense thought because it's good for when they have some downtime between missions and training and all that. I just redo the puzzles over and over again myself. I guess I'm a puzzle addict and hoarder in that respect.

I downloaded several of the free phone app jigsaw puzzles......ugh, they are fun but I end up crosseyed when I stop. There is one group that I like the best are by Titan. They have many different options from the pieces already being in the right direction to having to turn them to fit like IRL (the most challenging but difficult on a tiny smart phone.

You can also select how many pieces you want them to divided into & whether you want the pieces to click into place when 2 or more pieces are put together. I think they have done a really great job for a FREE app on a phone. I am enjoying it along with the free coloring apps I"ve downloaded on my new phone also.

eskielover, Thank you for mentioning the free phone app jigsaw puzzles.

I wish I was able to do on-line jigsaw puzzles. Every time I have tried, I've gotten a headache and feel nauseous. I've tried adjusting the contrast and brightness on the screen, but it does not help. Same thing happens with computer games.

eskielover, Why don't you post a few links here to the jigsaw apps you found. Might be fun for others to try out.

I've developed a puzzle addiction. I have started doing 500/550 piece puzzles each week. I'm only on my fourth one, they're getting easier the more I do them.

Have finished this (which only took a week) http://forums.psychcentral.com/5289822-post57.html. Now working on the below. I just spent two hours searching for the upper left hand corner. So far have turned over about 1200 pieces to find 35 pieces. This may seem unusual, but I find it very calming. Anyways I hope someone enjoys the picture.
