About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

One of my favourite Youtube Channels is a Jigsaw puzzle Channel called Karen Puzzles. In January 2021 she finally purchased her dream puzzle - a 2007 Giant Puzzle (24 thousansd pieces) called LIFE.
I was astounded to read on the back of the box that this puzzle was created using paintings by a fellow Kiwi (From New Zealand) named Royce McClure. Yachting is a huge part of New Zealand Culture. Many of New Zealands Olympic medals have been won in the water sports. New Zealand sailors have won the Americas Cup and various Ocean Racing competitions numerous times.
I just knew I had to make a layout for this giant puzzle. And this is the perfect challenge. It was very fiddly work to get the alignments exactly correct. This is as close as I can get them. I will not be in any hurry to do this again.
For the record this puzzle is no longer being produced. If you want to purchase one, you have to buy or bid for it from Ebay or some other Jigsaw puzzle outlet. I have seen prices ranging from $500 to $1000.
PS My favourite part of this puzzle - The lost (underwater) city in the bottom right corner!!
