Well I liked 'em as a child. However what got me restarted is that it's a great way to get art prints AND it's an attainable challenge. Hey D' did she finish her puzzle or is she still working on it? Tedz - ( or should I say the other B ). You have to be careful that you don't drop peices. Expecially when you take youself on vacation. Also contact your manufacturer. Maybe they can resupply you with the missing peices. By the way often it's rather fun to have a complete puzzle with just one peice missing. - I know you were talking about your shrink but I thought I would have fun staying in the puzzle motief. Bsteph
