# Jiggy Thing Puzzles

A 500-piece jigsaw puzzle our family drew and boxed ourselves, sold to raise money at Things 4 Good.

Jiggy Thing Puzzles are custom jigsaw puzzles our family made together. The first, **Jiggy Thing Puzzle #001 “Celebration City,”** is a 500-piece puzzle of hand-drawn digital art full of small scenes, such as an ant hotel with a “no vacancy” sign. On October 6, 2021, I wrote that we had finished the box design and [ordered 50 puzzles](https://www.thingelstad.com/2021/10/06/our-family-created.html). We had made puzzles before, but this was our first custom box, and I was pleased with how it came out when the order arrived ([Custom Puzzle Box](https://www.thingelstad.com/2021/10/24/custom-puzzle-box.html)).

The puzzle was made for the first [Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser](https://www.thingelstad.com/2021/11/09/things-good-fall.html) in November 2021, where it sold alongside our candles. After the sale, [Weekly Thing 203](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/203/) offered the remaining puzzles for $35, printed on Eska board in the custom box. We sold 26 puzzles in 2021 and 10 in 2022. I noted that 2022 offered the same puzzle, so “a number of folks already had it” ([Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser Notes](https://www.thingelstad.com/2022/11/27/101105.html)).

No second puzzle has been published. My [puzzles page](https://www.thingelstad.com/puzzles/) has said “Coming Soon…” since at least December 2022.
