Wow, this is really sweet of Stave Puzzles! I would cartwheel if my boyfriend proposed to me with a Stave Puzzle. He would have my heart no doubt. Unfortunately, I'm not in a relationship right now that will result in marriage. Good luck to every on…

I'm greatly opposed to bull fighting, despite being Portuguese. The Dance in Bull Fighting is an art and beautiful.

Oh my, Tusk 'til Dawn pulls my heart strings. The final puzzle is beautiful! I remember the sneak peek and telling myself "I have to have this puzzle." (; -/

What's your favorite puzzle and why?
For my father's birthday one year, I gave him a photo puzzle of his childhood home and personalized the puzzle even more with puzzle pieces of a boy playing soccer. Dad sat down to make his puzzle as soon as he had unwrapped the box.

THIS IS It, Still in the game of LIFE

Hello Friends, I have been out of the loop for a while at Stave PuzzleNuts. Hard time keep me treading water, but i hope to stay in touch with you more often. There is life. There is death. This year, my second niece was born, and my first nephew. I can hug and kiss them all over they are so sweet and charming. I parted with my darling cat Hugs over the spring. He had been seriously ill for over a year. My enduring love kept him battling for life, until him and I agreed he should be suffering no… Continue

On March 10, 2009 I was diagnosed with a Meningioma ( a particular brain tumor). This is not the first, but the third brain tumor I have had in my lifetime. I am a strong woman of faith, and positively feel all will work out for the best.

I successfully underwent surgery in early April at Georgetown University Hospital. Your blessing is greatly appreciated!

You are like a ray of sun on a cloudy day! I admire your zip! I just picked up Eckhart Tolle's book. I have been hearing so much about it I thought I better have a read :) I'll keep you posted...

Hi Jennifer, I have enjoyed reading your Puzzlenut page. I really enjoy hearing from our puzzlers. Such an interesting group! Your idea for an annual Charity puzzle project is a good one. We did something like that years ago with a puzzle called Find the Keys. I can't remember where the proceeds went but it was something sea based, coral reefs maybe? Anyway, I would like to share with you that Stave firmly believes in helping out organizations within our community and many of the national groups.This year we have already donated 11 puzzles to area charity groups for fundraising purposes. As you know, each and every one of those has to be hand cut, one piece at a time and when we're working on donation puzzles we can't be working on your order. So please give us plenty of lead time to get your puzzle crafted in time for your special occasion :) I also wanted to send you a huge Hurrah for your fabulous success in fighting the brain tumor. YOU GO GIRL! My dad is fighting the fight right now and we've made it a year. What a blessing. We met with other families last weekend and there were many who were going on 3 years! It was great to hear. I'd love to hear more from you at my regular email. jennifer@stave.com

I took my new, and very first, Stave Puzzle to the office with me and had a great time putting the puzzle together! Ice Fall-ease proved to be challenging and fun! I took the opportunity to introduce many coworkers to Stave Puzzles (: -)

Life is one big puzzle. Right now, I am finding puzzle pieces that have been lost for years. I joined Oprah's Book Club in early February and began reading "A New Earth" Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. This is the first book I am reading by Eckhart Tolle.

The experiences I have lived in my life, allow me today to read with great interest “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle. I am up to Chapter 5 and the entire book thus far has been an AHA Moment. Partly because I enjoy reading, and express myself best in writing. Most of what I have read is not new to me, but still I am rediscovering myself all over again in the write words. I am relived that the Ego is not my True Identity. I am grateful to learn to live day to day in the Awakened state of Consciousness.
