Be kind. Do good. Love is a verb.This would be a lovely puzzle to frame. The pieces are variations of the same traditional puzzle shape. Quality is meh. Pieces are thick and stick together to the point of sometimes peeling when you try and take them apart. Not sure if all Galison puzzles are like this. That said, I adore the picture and the fact that portions of the purchase price support The Born This Way Foundation.

I enjoyed this puzzle. Beautiful, matte finish. Pieces fit together well. This was a pleasure to do.I grew up in the Bay Area. San Francisco in the 80s and early 90s was my playground. I loved seeing places I remember: Palace of Fine Arts, Coit Tower, Hyatt Regency with the Equinox, a Cable Car, the Conservatory and TransAmerica Building, the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. All places and locations I know. A lovely walk down memory lane. Spirit of San Francisco  1000 pieces  Pomegranate Brand ©Holly B. of 2 Kids and Tired Books 2007-2014 All rights reserved.

I puzzle because I enjoy it, but it's also a way for me to calm my mind and step away from reality for a few moments. Friday's Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs Wade was very difficult for many here in America. I was grateful to have this lovely puzzle to work on this weekend. It allowed me much needed time with just my thoughts, not the thoughts or opinions of others on social media.I love the detail and intricacies.

Politics aside, today was a hard day for me. I am ever so glad it is over. Sometimes the best thing about a particular day is that it ends and we can start over again in the morning. Tomorrow has no mistakes in it, yet.  No matter your feelings about what has happened today, please be kind. Do something good. Love is a verb. It's not a political ideology, or an incendiary post on Facebook. At the end of the day, even a day like this one, we are all human. Flawed, yes. But still the same. Tonight, I finished my puzzle and it felt good to have that accomplishment after today. Clementoni Brand©Holly B. of 2 Kids and Tired...

A finished jigsaw puzzle can be a work of art—one worth framing and hanging on the wall. But that creates another set of interlocking puzzles to solve: What’s the best way to preserve a puzzle for posterity and display it for all to see? And before you get to that point, how can you safely store a puzzle in progress when you need to free up table space and don’t want nosy pets or children ruining your work? Dismiss
