Self Care here

Wow, you made me think now. Wonder if my mother did the same for me?
Love the awesome pictures of you puzzling and that it allows you to look after your mental health - well done. Thanks for playing along with our challenge this month.

fabulous photos and journaling, beautiful jigsaw.

Interesting page! The birdcage puzzle is gorgeous but I must admit I've never known of anyone to do a puzzle seated on the floor! whatever works, right?

Love your page. We are fans of jigsaw puzzles and they always make an appearance when we are together for holidays, reunions, etc. That birdcage one is wonderful. Nice journaling too.

@Eyeore, I'll never have a chance to ask. Let me know if you do and what you find out!

@Angela Toucan, thank you. Gallison does make some awesome puzzles.

@cookingmylife thanks. It's all a juggling act when you eat at a table for four...clearing and moving the puzzle there happens only between dinner and breakfast! I moved furniture to create that space on the floor.

@flowersgal, thank you, it was a great puzzle to do. I highly recommend Gallison if you can find them where you are. Like many layouts I make , my initial thoughts about journaling changed. In this case with the realization that my mother probably used puzzling for self care and/or child care. I also remember having to follow her somewhat strict rules about how one did a puzzle. The edge first, the sorting, the board so you could move the puzzle, & learning to search both for shape and for color. This sounds so much better.
