Hi, I’m Emma, the creator of Pieces of My Heart
Puzzles, a brand inspired by my deep love for art, puzzles, and cherished
memories. My journey began when I was just 12 years old, spending countless
hours with my grandma after she broke her ankle. Confined to her cozy living
room, we bonded over puzzles from her seemingly endless collection, piecing
together not just the images on the table, but the stories and laughter that
connected us.
My grandma wasn’t just a puzzle enthusiast—she was one of my
best friends and biggest supporters. She was there for me when my life fell
apart, including the moment I received the phone call that changed everything:
my diagnosis with cancer. In that terrifying moment, and through the
challenging journey that followed, she was unwaveringly supportive. Her
strength, compassion, and ability to make me feel safe and cared for were a
source of light during one of the darkest times in my life.
In 2021, my grandma contracted COVID-19, and
heartbreakingly, it took her life. Losing her was one of the most difficult
moments I’ve ever faced, but it also deepened my desire to keep her memory
alive. My grandma’s love for puzzles and the precious moments we shared around
them are the heart and soul of this company. Through Pieces of My Heart
Puzzles, I honor her legacy and the joy, comfort, and love she brought into
my life.
Each puzzle in my collection begins as a hand-painted
watercolor design or a photo I captured while exploring nature’s beauty. Every
piece reflects the joy and love that puzzles have brought into my life, and I
hope they bring the same to yours. Whether you’re piecing together one of my
creations with friends, family, or simply enjoying the quiet satisfaction of
solving it on your own, I want these puzzles to feel like a heartfelt gift,
from my heart to your home.
With Pieces of My Heart Puzzles, I’m not just
sharing art—I’m sharing a piece of my story, my passion, and the memories that
shaped me. Thank you for being a part of it and helping me celebrate my
grandma’s beautiful legacy through the timeless joy of puzzles.
