Jigsaw Puzzles

I love to do 1000 piece puzzles, mainly because they fit on my table.  I am picky about the puzzle I purchase.  My favorite brand is White Mountain and I also like SpringBok and Ravensburger.    I have a few puzzles of other sizes as well.  I like the themed puzzles with a mix of items of a certain theme.
