Puzzle Description:

A stash of love letters from the high school sweetheart from many years ago. Don't peek - they're very personal!

Okay, this one is a little difficult. If you can get past the tricky color logic in the middle, about half way through, then you will be able to sail through to the end easily. At one spot where I was stuck, I could tell the blue either went on this side or that side, and figured either way, the space in between had to be black.

Keep at it, you can get it! :-)

Here's a Tom question for you: What's wrong with this picture? If you solved 8824 and 9465, then it will be easy to figure out.

This is great! It was tricky, and I kept messing up so it took me couple of tries. The bow in the middle is amazing, and so is the shadow of the string. The lipstick is a neat touch. My only complaint is that it looks like one letter instead of a stack of them tied together.

Since the bureau belongs to a woman, (I guess that from the ladies underwear and butterfly shirt that I hope don't belong to a man... O.o), I assume the owner of the bureau kissed the letters from her sweetheart, instead of her sweetheart kissing them and leaving a lipstick stain? :) Other than wondering about that, I'm not sure what's wrong with it... I'm turning into a really bad detective!

I can't wait for the next one in this series!

Diana, you are a really good detective. You are exactly correct, there is no lipstick mark on the real letter.

I did try to make a stack of letters, but then the puzzle would not be solvable. I tried different ways, and gave up. I figured it would be hard enough with the bow, and that took some work to make it solvable.

i love it - the black shadow under the blue bow gives this image a nice depth. i also like the angle of the stack of letters against the black background - it makes the image pop out at you. beautifully designed.

Un poco duro de resolver, hasta que te das cuenta de lo que es y la secuencia de azules y negros.

Todos tenemos lotes de cartas como esas...

Lleno de buenos recuerdos, espero.
