Hi! We are Marvin and Margaret Jack. We live in Corvallis, Oregon and we personally design and make every wooden puzzle on our site! Yeah...We know it's hard to believe, but it's true! We love our life. Sometimes it can be hard working for yourself, but there are a lot of things we like about it, too. We love where we live. We feel lucky to have two great kids, our wonderful families and the friends we have. We like to ride our bikes and go for daily walks with our dog along the river. We cross country ski in the winter and make frequent trips to the ocean year round. We sell our puzzles primarily at Art Fairs throughout the Western United States, so traveling is a big part of our yearly experience too!

We started as a young family making toys and puzzles for our own children in the mid 1980's. One thing led to another and our hobby grew into what we do for a living! Now our kids are grown, but we still love working with children and people, like you, who support them.

We love getting to know our customers! They come from all walks of life, but have one thing in common. That thing is an unwavering dedication to children in their lives. They know that the "puzzle-making stage" is a unique time in their child's life and take advantage of it with a passion. We love how connected our customers seem to be with their children!

We try as much as we can to give back to organizations who helped us out when we were a young growing family. Over the years, we have been able to donate 335 puzzles valued at over $8000 to a local organization creating gift baskets for low income families. We were happy to do this because we used their services when we were a young family in need of help! Because of your support, we have been able to extend our donations to many other organizations that are doing remarkable things for those less fortunate than ourselves. Some of these can be found in our Services section of our links page. Please check them out...Maybe you might find one that inspires your support!

We hope that everyone who experiences our selection derives some of the same joys that we do in making and sharing our puzzles! We are proud of our emphasis on design and quality in the puzzlemaking process. We would like to continue this emphasis while exploring new forms of expressing our inspirations through the art of puzzlemaking!
Happy Puzzling!
