My name is Nina and I'm a jigsaw addict grin

I have one of those fold out cases I use for mine, it can even be stored vertically with a half finished puzzle in. I tried one of the rolls but it was rubbish.
Cambia do you mean your son sells on line ? If so could you pm me the link, thanks.

I quite enjoy doing a jigsaw but find having the space to keep one on the go a problem. I have been making up jigsaws that came from the family home to check they are complete and then donating them to charity shops with the pieces sealed in a bag and a note enclosed to say they are complete. I find once I have made up a puzzle once I don't really want to do that one again although I do take a photo of the completed puzzle so that I can still enjoy the picture if it is of personal interest such as a place I have visited or an event.

I have a large sheet of card on which I construct the puzzle and found it slips easily under the settee when the table is required for a meal. It works for puzzles up to 1000 pieces so far.

Apparently it is National Jigsaw Day today. How do these days occur? Does someone just make them up? My son has built up an online jigsaw business and knew nothing about this until yesterday! I do find it encouraging though that lots of families are buying jigsaws to do together as a family and putting the iPads away for a while. I thought it was more a grans activity but perhaps I am biased as I always have one on the go! Have to limit myself as once I start I can't stop - anyone else have the same addiction?
