Puzzles are my life! Having been injured at my last job two years ago I have found putting puzzles together has been relaxing and rewarding. For the first time in my life, at the age of 51, my mother bought me a Disney photomosaic puzzle of Mickey Mouse and I loved it! I glued it, framed it, and hung it up on my living room wall. It has since been joined by many other puzzles.
Because of my new found pastime I decided to investigate the idea of selling jigsaw puzzles on the internet. From September to December of 2007 I rented a cart in a local mall selling puzzles. People seemed to love the selection, great prices, as well as the idea that kids would benefit more from puzzles than they would with the television, electronic games, or hand-held games. I met many people who told me stories; their kids, who have ADHD can't sit still except to put puzzles together (and I can attest to this because I also have ADHD); autistic children are better at puzzling than most adults; a woman with a brain tumor was told by her doctor to go home and work on puzzles; and a number of people who work with older people at senior citizen homes swear that doing puzzles are great for Alzheimer's patients as well as preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Because of my love for puzzles, my love of kids, and my experience with Alzheimer's disease (my grandmother had it for eleven years), I decided to open a retail store as well as an internet business. I vow to have a huge selection of puzzles; jigsaw, paperback, wood, metal, and any other type imaginable. I carry from 1-piece puzzles up to 24,000 piece puzzles, different sizes, shapes, and categories. I will continue to look for new and exciting designs that stimulate thinking or simply relax you. In the very near future I will also have a machine that will allow me to make personalized puzzles as well. Whether shopping my website or in my store I will have the ability to turn your favorite photo into a jigsaw puzzle (sizes between 9 pieces and 1000 pieces).
Please feel free to contact me by phone or by email with requests, suggestions, opinions, testimonials, or even business opportunities. I look forward to hearing from you and look forward to meeting your needs.
