Before clicking: oh that’s weird 999 pieces instead of 1000
After: ohhhhhh
Yeah, so what do I do now? Maybe I will stick a note on the cover before sending it back to Goodwill
We usually mark the box “1 piece missing” but not on the picture. We bought many marked that way.
I should have mentioned:
-
This is the first time I separated all the pieces by color/region before assembly and I was amazed at how much faster it went together.
-
Instead of doing the edges first I started at the center (lighthouse) and followed with the trees and sky. This allowed me to keep the top of the puzzle closer to me and push it away as I worked my way down to the sea. I found this reduced the time I usually spent standing, hunched over the puzzle. I am amazed it took me 40 years of jigsaws to figure this out.
-
The sea and rocks took way longer than I thought. It was brutal.
Good advice!

Thank you for sharing, very nice! It looks like a Thomas Kinkade painting called Courage, maybe Ceaco puzzle?
Yes! You Nailed it!!
