It all started when my Uncle Leland sent an 1000 piece puzzle to Mom. Of course Heidi was the one here when it arrived. But let me back up a minute and explain a few things. Puzzles happen to be a very competitive event in this household usually taking place over the holidays. Heidi, for some reason, usually manages to get her hands on the puzzle first. As a result, she puts together all the fun and easier sections, leaving me things like all the reindeer fur or snow. Things can get ugly at times resulting in the claiming of territory, hoarding puzzle pieces, and the ultimate control tactic of hiding pieces (Scott can often be a culprit here...mainly to aggravate us all rather than his wanting to participate in the event). This past Christmas I noticed that my daughter has inherited the puzzle fever and witnessed her pulling all of the above manuevers.
Now back to the present....Heidi had most of the puzzle done in a relatively short period of time. And once again she did all the fun and easier sections. What she left me were areas of grass and dogwood flowers. Green or green and white. That is all I had to work with. She will, of course, try to deny these allegations, but don't believe her.

Love the puzzle! I think it is in the Murdock genes when it comes to puzzels. I'm like Heidi and try to do the outside frame first. Then I can't get away from it. Determination takes over and slowly turns into obsession. There is always one puzzle piece that drives you crazy. All of you are in my prayers. Talk to you soon.
Love Tam
