It took 17 days, but we did it!

We started this 1000 piece puzzle on the first day of school.  It took 17 days, but in the end we completed it, and we couldn't be happier with the results.  Stop by the library next week and we'll be starting another puzzle and everyone's invited to participate.

classics as Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory,

BFG and Matilda.
