Summercalendar - surprise :-) - day 22/22 and completed

If you're following my blog for a time, you might have seen the annual advent calendars I receive and assemble day by day. Advent calendar means winter & 24 days until christmas. But...

... in my german jigsaw puzzle board we organize these calendars in summer, too. Why just 1 calendar per year if you can have fun assembling 2? And never forget the joy of those friends who are drawn by a lot to each other to choose the jigsaw puzzles, assemble them and divide them in portions of 22 days? Yes, in summer we only have 22 days to set ourselves apart from the advent calendar.

 That was the foreword to the summer event.

Now comes the most important thing: I actually only get my calendars in winter. This year, a friend who prepared many of the large puzzles for me (f.e. Linderhof in 2021 - how could I EVER foget that?) surprised me with a very large parcel and 22 small bags made of Yute.

Oh yes, they are filled properly - and here we go with day 1 /22

buildings at night, ships, water ....
