I have no doubt that yours will be among the very best images posted there.

I kid you not. Let me know if you and your FB do in fact get one...and which one. <br /><br />Thanks for your support of Wiki for me. I do hope to make a difference in my own small way!<br /><br /><b>Victoria:</b> I think we are probably sisters! :) <br /><br />If you get around to sharing on Wiki, let's swap stories. I love to know of someone else who donated to them. Thank you. I believe we all make a difference, one person at a time!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-1154852376334745992012-01-19T18:28:34.426+01:002012-01-19T18:28:34.426+01:00Ah Ginnie, one more thing we have in common... a l...Ah Ginnie, one more thing we have in common... a love of doing jigsaw puzzles! Our family did them as a family fun thing to do when I was still living at home. One puzzle that I remember well is one that, when finished, could be picked up because the pieces were about 1/4" thick and all interlocking. We must have done that one about once a year and were all upset when we couldn't find it while packing up the house before my mother moved to assisted living.<br /><br />I love the notion of being able to give back to Wiki and if I ever catch up with things in other areas, I hope to do that also. Will definitely keep it in mind for the next time I come across a page where I COULD contribute if I took the time to do so. Meantime, I gave them a rather generous donation this year (more than twice what I gave last year) so am already giving back in that regard.<br /><br />As always, the images are such fun! My compliments to you both... Astrid for taking them and you for collaging them! And now I'm off to V&V. :-)Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-81955587415378003672012-01-19T11:17:34.352+01:002012-01-19T11:17:34.352+01:00A few months ago we started doing crossword puzzle...A few months ago we started doing crossword puzzles together, and it's such fun. I showed MFB your puzzles and said we should do that next! They look terrific. <br /><br />Your contribution to Wiki sites is a perfect example of how just one person can make a contribution - a difference - and have it matter. It's an excellent idea, Ginnie. <br />And that video? I stole it to put on my group blog.

We have so many puzzles, also ones not from van Haasteren, that we can always have fun putting them together more than once. The ones we borrow from Astrid's co-worker, of course, we give back to her as soon as we're done.<br /><br />I love that video, too. It really does something to me. My guess is it's in Mexico.Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-45702044476463968892012-01-18T00:07:44.022+01:002012-01-18T00:07:44.022+01:00What do you do with the puzzles when you are finis...What do you do with the puzzles when you are finished?

If a child got introduced to a puzzle and discovered (s)he liked it, it'd probably stay for life, don't you think?<br /><br /><b>Tim:</b> You make my point about people who either do or don't like jigsaw puzzles! But you make up for it in other ways, I'm sure., :)<br /><br /><b>ET:</b> My thing with jigsaw puzzles is I like them better if the pieces match and don't overlap. Other than that, I don't care what the view is. :) <br /><br />I'm delighted I was able to get started with Wiki submissions. I'll see what it's like to submit indivual images now. I guess I started with something more difficult first?<br /><br />Stay happy, Jen.

It amazes me.<br /><br />It so happens that van Haasteren does NOT have the missing piece for this puzzle. We heard back from him and apparently there are only some puzzles they can complete.
