I am Cortney. I'm 29 and a work-at-home, homeschooling, mom of four. I have been a puzzler since I was young. We're usually pretty busy with life, but I hope to get an hour or two in everyday with "LIFE". I have spent about 15 hours sorting pieces (not quite finished yet) and have just started putting one sorted section together. I'm very excited to be (hopefully) the first in Wisconsin to finish. I have already had a few offers to put it on display at the library and an Elks Club. So, we'll see what happens with that. I do post my updates at least once a week at http://determinedpuzzler.blogspot.com/ Stop by and leave some encouragement! LOL Good Luck to All!!! Hi!

It shows that lots and lots of people are assembling the world's largest puzzle and I bet many more are doing it in silence and more will be buying it to assemble. I want to congratulate all the people who have finished this puzzle. It is a very pleasurable thing to do and what an achievement! High five! Gemberly Janet,

So far I love it though I'm not making much progress with a 6-month-old baby to take care of, but I work on it when time allows. I have a blog set up to track my progress if anyone is interested in following it. http://pennysjigsawblog.blogspot.com/ I would love to hear from others on here that have either completed the puzzle or are currently working on it.

My name is Alex Johnson and I am 15 1/2 years old. I did this puzzle all by myself and i live in Ogden, Utah. Doing the life puzzle was my favorite puzzle to do. It took me 6 months ahnd it took me about 275 hours. This puzzle was so fun to do that i decided I am going buy the smaller one do that one. The local paper actually did a story about me on July 12, and a news crew saw it and wanted to do a story about it too! They just interviewed me earlier today, July 13, and it's going to show the story about me in tonight's news! I was totally surprised and nervous when I first heard they were going to do a story about the puzzle. One lady actually saw my story in the paper and wanted to give me a puzzle because it was too hard for her; a 5000 piece Shmid brand puzzle called "Lucky Marbles"! We picked it up yesterday and I started it today! Hi There!

For years my husband and I have discussions about what to put on the wall above the couch, until we saw a picture in a local news paper of someone who finished the wolds largest puzzle. For the first time we both agreed immediately! Is there any change to buy the picture as a big poster? Please let me know, it would be a perfect birthday present for my husband!
