It is PUZZLE TIME people! Grab a piece and fit it in....come on, you can do it. Just don't force it into a spot because you are frustrated and want it to look like you have contributed. Grandma Genevieve gave me this puzzle. When it is finished you glue it together and attach a clock mechanism to it and TADA...you have a working clock that you can hang on the wall. I'll take a picture of it when it is done. Sam and I did a kitty picture last week that we glued together and hung on the wall in the computer room It only had 500 pieces though...this clock has 1,000. So far, the hardest area to complete....the roman numerals....they were a real bitch.
