I purchased two puzzles at the local Goodwill yesterday; 500 pieces for $.99 and 550 pieces for $1.49. I chose the first puzzle because on the bottom of the box it stated "no pieces missing". Actually, I hadn't thought about missing pieces. Obviously buying used, it is a certain possibility! But you can not beat the price! The price of new puzzles surprised me, $12-$15 for a 500 piece.

I have not worked on a puzzle in over 20 years!

I decided to do a little sorting by color, not an easy task. Do I work on same color that go together then find the place within the puzzle where they belong? I am sure there is a strategy, but I have no clue. I just hope I do not get frustrated and think it is a waste of time... On the other hand, I am sure it is a good mental exercise! Stay tuned for Part 2...

Don't stress...there is no right or wrong way to do a puzzle. So far, you're doing it the way I always did. Edges first and find similar colors and put pieces togeather as you find them. Gets interesting when you have lots of clumps that are togeather. And don't worry about going back to the box cover, I remember proping it up so I could refer to it often. :)
Thanks for the pep talk!
