The Giveaway is now closed. The Winner is MIA (Maria) from the Estonia and she was selected using the random generator from Random.org. Mia asked that the giveaway go to Kreated by Karina.

However, Katey who makes the jigsaws has offered to give both ladies a customised jigsaw. Thanks Katey
. So there are two giveaway winners!!

Thanks to everyone who entered. There is going to be a MEGA Etsy Giveaway to be posted at the end of the week. Thanks to Custom Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles for donating this giveaway to the readers of Lillys Life.

Custom Dog Bandanas & Custom Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles based in Texas, is offering readers of Lilly's Life the chance to win a 5 x 7" intricately hand cut wooden jigsaw puzzle made from one of your own photos. It could be a photo of you, your family, your pet, a wedding, a holiday memory or whatever you would like.

Each puzzle is hand crafted, piece by piece, and no two puzzles ever turn out the same. Each puzzle is cut on 1/4" birch wood to last generations. The video below shows how the jigsaws are made. It's fascinating.

  1. I would have a jigsaw puzzle made out of a photo of our daughter for my husband..I think it would be an awesome birthday gift for him...

    She was born with a hole in her heart) that required surgery when she was just 2 months old, and still has ongoing medical complications. He once remarked "her heart's like a broken puzzle..just the last piece of it is missing, but sooner or later they'll find it--you have to have faith." A puzzle of her photo would be awesome...

    Ok, I'm tearing up now..

  2. I would get one made with a beautiful picture of my Grandmother. I think that would be a great after Mother's Day gift for my mom. Losing my Grandma has been truly tough on my mom.

    Thanks for this opportunity!!

  5. Oh Lilly, if random generator lands on me, please give it to Kreated by Karina, in the first comment! A two month old with heart issues is more than this bum ticker of mine can take! I have no doubt I will be fine. But how hard it has to be to have a child going through this!! Thanks Lilly :)

  10. I would like to get a jigsaw puzzle made up of my husband's tomatoes...the ones he grew himself...on the vine! Okay, as I still cannot make that sound innocent, my vote goes to KreatedbyKarina (I don't know her or anything about her, I just think she has a good reason).

  12. I would get a jigsaw of my niece Bella. A lot of work must go into these jigsaws looking at the video. I am glad she is careful too as I could imagine that you could easily lose a few fingers.

  13. I would love to get one of the trees that my husband and kids planted made into a puzzle. If I win, please give it to KreatedbyKarina. They deserve it way more than I do.

  14. I have to agree no 1 comment makes my heart skip a beat.
    I wish there could be two winners ;)
    Though my two Little drummer boys who are the light of our 'life' after 15 yrs infertility and losing our precious baby girl - helped me piece together my broken heart.
    I love to get the one done I took on the weekend.

  20. Oh, now THAT is a giveaway I will pursue! I love wooden things, and a jigsaw made of my own photo? Well, I have a zillion photos...which one? I think perhaps a beautiful image of sunrise over the Ganges river, down at the end of the track I live at; it would make a beautiful mind engager for children who visit me; they love the Ganges, they love jigsaws, they love photos, and they love wood...who can lose? :)) Thank you Lilly...nice prize...xxx

  29. Lilly, this happens to be the absolutely coolest contest I have ever seen. What a great idea. If I won, I would do a picture of my daughter with her bf cause I think he's gearing up to ask her to marry him. :) And I wanted to let you know that you are immortalized on my You're Appreciated! Links page on my newly redesigned blog. (shameless plug, I know)

  30. Visiting from SITS and I love the puzzles! I bought my In-laws a photo puzzle of our family for Christmas, but it doesn't even compare to this! I would do a puzzle of my family with my kids. They would love putting pieces of themselves together and it would become a treasured keepsake.

  32. Hi from SITS... I love these puzzles, what a neat idea! I would love to get my mother a puzzle of her dog, Sammy. Her mom passed away recently and she is more joined at the hips than ever with Sammy... she was talking recently about getting a drawing done, I think this would be so much neater!

    Lovely lovely item
    I would choose to use a photo of my artwork in which it would depict a piece I made for my mum on Mothers day. It is a black and white photo of the two of us from 1970-Hippie for sure. I fashioned it into a smaller sized crazy quilt.
    And Mum loves puzzles.so she will be the recepient.

  37. I would have a picture of my husband and I on our honeymoon. This gift would go well for us this year since it's our 5th Wedding Anniversary and the gift is WOOD. This would be a very unique, not to mention, super cool gift for this years' wedding anniversary that is coming up on June 26.
