It was Janet of Sustainabilitea blog, ( This,that and the other thing/ Looking at life through writing and photography) who wrote in a comment “these photos would make great puzzles”.
She was right. Thanks, Janet, for the super idea. (original post of the doll collection was just January 6th).
I went down the hill to give my friend the early birthday present and it was a cool surprise. Waiting until the actual birthday on the 29th was too long. Barb was really thrilled with the origianl idea and I told her how a fellow blogger suggested making the photo into a puzzle. Her husband thought the photo below would make a cool document of the idea come to fruition.
Here my friend Barb’s husband Rich holds up the puzzle I ordered from the photo of her doll collection.
It came in a lovely tin. Ravensburger USA in New Hampshire did a super job.
How much fun it would be to photograph collections to be made into jigsaw puzzles.
We love jigsaw puzzles, and our favourites are Ravensburger, I’ve often thought I should get one of my photos done as a puzzle, I might have to see if it can be done from Australia, thanks for the tip.
What a brilliant idea and a magical present!
That is one special present – I love the idea!
Thanks for this brilliant idea.
Great idea. Ravensberger puzzles are the best!
Great follow through, Ruth. Receiving a suggestion is one thing and executing the idea is quite another!!
Very clever.
That is a genius idea! I feel a mass project in the making…
What a lovely gift you have given your friend Ruth. I love it – as i am sure she did.
My sister’s name is Colleen too. 🙂
I’m not sure, I thiink it maybe a wee OT but you can upload your pix and have them as puzzles on the site: http://www.jigzone.com/
Janet is a pretty creative woman. This looks like fun! Very thoughtful .
Cool!
It turned out wonderfully. What a super gift!
