bella puzzles: wedding guest book wooden puzzles

bella Photo Wedding Puzzle (guest book), 110 pieces, custom puzzle personalized with words & shapes, wood, 17 x 21 inches
{ photo wedding puzzle guest book }

cool. Lara makes custom wooden guest book puzzles -- stumbled across this great idea in an etsy blog post on beating creative burnout (erm...) so pls. forgive if you've seen elswhere...

you can get them with a photo, a color, or plain wood. you can get a rectangular puzzle or one shaped like a tree or your state/country. you can get your names carved as pieces. or a heart. or a monkey, or anything you want. people sign the backs of the pieces with the pens (included! so considerate). you could even use them as place cards. plus anyone who takes a scrollsaw class and whose talents are "making mischief and making art" must be supported.

[maybe i like this idea so much because my grandmother's typewriter (i know, so 2010) had a meltdown at our reception and refused to work. may or may not have had to do with toddlers. it works *now* of course, just not then -- we have these random 3-word haiku running down the left side of the paper. anyway. moral of that story: have a pen handy. anyway.]

there's a nice symbolism here -- we assemble our weddings, our marriages, and our lives from our families and friends, and so it's not just a picture of you, it's your community coming together and every piece is critical. sweet.

Lara also cuts puzzles for other occasions (baby shower, birthday, retirement, bat mitzvah) --
