Photos into puzzles

I love jigsaw puzzles, I have for years. They got challenging to me when arthritis set in but I got around it. How? With a computer jigsaw puzzle game that’s how. Several years ago back on the original lap top I found a terrific game which I really loved. It came with some puzzles ready to play, and also gave you the option to create your own puzzles. I loved taking miscellaneous photos from all over the www and making puzzles from them. When that lap top died I tried to find the game again, and woe be me, it wasn’t anywhere to be found.

Then miraculously one day recently I happened to find it again and bought it again and now I have it on both lap tops. When I am web surfing, or even better blog hopping, I save pretty photos into a file I call aptly “puzzles”. Then when I am in the puzzle mood, usually in the evening when I’m almost tired but not quite, I load up one of those photos, create a puzzle with it and puzzle myself to sleep.

So thanks to all of you who share your lovely photos on your blogs… today I “borrowed” photos from Bonnie and Dawn, ones I am sure will make lovely but challenging puzzles for some late night adventure.


PS, the name of the puzzle game is Jigsaw Puzzle Platinum Edition and I got it at GameHouse.com

    I save lovely blog photos, too, but I use them for wallpaper on my desktop. I didn't realize such a puzzle program existed. Where did you purchase it? Is it available online?

    Thanks for the name of the puzzle game. I think it might go on my Christmas wish list. Something easy for the kids to find for me. And, yep, same questions as Nancy has. Waving at you Nancy!
