1 week.... 3 weeks.....same thing! 3 weeks ago my family started a 1,000 piece VW Bus puzzle. My daughter was on spring break and the hubby challenged the family to get the puzzle done in 1 week. Challenge accepted! 3 weeks later the puzzle is finally done. Well, kind of done. Looks like we are missing two pieces. Of course we started by doing the edges and my husband was convinced from the start that the pieces were missing. I swore that they must be in the pile somewhere and that eventually they will pop up. Guess he was right........
