I was ordering a new pair of slippers from Amazon and didn’t want to pay for shipping so decided to get a jigsaw puzzle. Found a Thomas Kinkade 1000-piece puzzle called Amsterdam Cafe and decided to get it. I’ve been wanting to get a new puzzle for a while so this seemed like the perfect time. I used my Amazon gift card I got for my birthday.
At first I thought it wasn’t that difficult to do but I was wrong. I love a challenge though. Really enjoyed doing this puzzle. So beautiful. It is tempting to try and frame it but I won’t. I wanna do it again someday.

All of the puzzles I have, except for the LOVE one hubby gave me for Valentine's Day last year, are of Thomas Kinkade paintings. All his work is truly beautiful and it's such an enjoyable experience putting the puzzles together.

@RebeccasFarm I do! One is 1000 pieces. The other ones are less. But those are from a 10-in-1 box sets. They are of different sizes.

I haven't done a puzzle in quite awhile but I used to enjoy doing them. I don't know why I stopped. Your puzzle looks really nice and I love Thomas Kincaid

I don't do them often these days. But I really enjoy doing them. I should do them more often.

It is. I am glad I got it. I am ready to take it apart and put it back in the box. Can't wait to do it again.

They sure are. And they can be relaxing too.

@Deepizzaguy That's also fun to do. I like word searches.

I love the puzzle. I've looked at Thomas Kinkade puzzles too. They are so beautiful.

Sometimes if you try to stick a piece into another piece, but it turns out to be wrong and you have a hard time taking it out, it can get damaged. But other than that his puzzles are great. Beautiful and challenging and fun to do.

@LindaOHio And his puzzles come in different sizes. Not all are huge.

I really would look beautiful framed and on the wall. Do you have others you have done that with?

That is a very lovely jigsaw puzzle, I cannot attempt these puzzles because of the cats,

@lovebuglena I only have two rooms and they would jump on the table and right on the puzzle so I can't do anything like that,

@RasmaSandra Oh no! Bummer! They'd definitely mess it up.

That's a bummer. Will the cats ruin the pieces?

That's certainly a lovely puzzle. All those cobblestones look tricky.

I was going to get the puzzle at some point anyway. Might as well have gotten it with the slippers. I feel like I have no use for Prime as I don't shop on amazon often.

@lovebuglena I guess if you don't use it much. But I thought you were at one point interested in the streaming shows and movies and music too.
