Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle

Remember that the theme of the last GNO (Girl Night's Out) Christmas gift was a word which, when read backwards, made a different word?  Part of the gift I received was a jigsaw puzzle.  Kathy made the design herself w/ pictures of brains (representing SMART) and tram cars (representing TRAMS) and had Shutterfly make them into a jigsaw.  I hadn't opened it yet.  By the month of March my fervor for putting together puzzles is waning and I didn't know if I was up for another 1000+ piece puzzle.  Brent saw it when he arrived and the next thing I knew he had the trams put together.  I worked on the edges and it looked for the world like we were missing many pieces until I swapped two corner pieces and everything fell into place.  We made good progress over the week until we got down to the big uniform blue area in the middle.  That was going to be a matter of just trying piece after piece in each position.  Multiple times we couldn't find a piece that fit and assumed they were missing.   I told Brent I needed the puzzle finished before he left because he might need to trim a few pieces for me to get them to align.  Tonight after supper though the last one fell into place.   Multiple times the Christmas gift theme of "regifting" has been suggested and we've shot it down.  If it comes up again, think I'll change my vote.

Just don't re-gift it to the person who gave it to you.
