What's in the box?? Find out right now on Patreon: patreon.com/karenpuzzles
Thank you to everyone for your support on my channel this year. I couldn't make these videos or be gifted to many incredible puzzles without you. I'm looking forward to taking a break over the holidays, but in January I'll be back with even more puzzle videos!
I don't have a clue!đ
Its got to be a very old and an addition that a small store made and it has to be a vintage solid color puzzle it has to be one of those or all of the ways I just said
14:30 Hey there just so you know, the reason there are 2 different box covers is simply a manufacturing thing. Its super easy for companies to print a large sheet of that pattern and have a machine cut it. Because of this, each box will get cut from a different portion of the sheet. They are likely identical editions of the same puzzle. :)
You have got it good and easy Karen! Itâs the same way for me. The first jigsaw puzzle I got is a 1000 piece eeboo jigsaw puzzle. The title is cats at work. Itâs really cute and colorful. The pieces are normal thickness and super shiny; I shouldnât have a hard time. The second one is a 300 piece ceaco jigsaw puzzle. Itâs a porch scene with an orange tabby cat on a wicker chair. The last one is a 1000 piece sur-lox jigsaw puzzle. The pieces arenât too thin. Itâs about license plates shaped like u.s. states. The pieces are one shape while the others are a variety of shapes.
Keep up with your next jigsaw puzzle! Karen, youâre the jigsaw puzzle queen! Long live Karen!
Gwyneth Paltrow head?
Don't mix up the Keith Haring puzzle! Even though it's 2022 now, back in 2015 I worked at a startup that had a culture of doing puzzles in the extra desk space we had. Eventually someone thought buying that Keith Haring one would be fun. We started on one bag (a 2x2 grid of panels, not 1x4), but while we were doing it, the CEO thought it would be funny to mix all the other bags together. We were very upset. I spent a lot of time sorting (based on some picture timestamps, almost a month) since everyone else lost interest and it was a nightmare. Even after sorting out greens with various other colors, there were so many pieces that had just green, black, and maybe white. We then got a few islands of pieces together, but we eventually gave up. I left the company several months later, so I'm not sure what happened to it. I can send some pics of boxes of sorted pieces if you're interested lol.
Omg that sounds terrible what the heck đ„ș
haha funny
thought this person apparently
I've got that puzzle! Been holding on to it for years, even during a couple housing moves. I only opened one bag, as you said a 2x2 set of panels. You're right, it's a hard one! The white borders are relatively small, but on a 32,000 piece puzzle, thats still a whole lot of plain white pieces. It's still "in progress" tightly sealed in shrink wrap on maybe a dozen foamboards. I dread the thought of dragging it out and starting again, only to find out a couple pieces are missing. đ
That was a passive aggressive show of contempt đą for the employees. Just my opinion. Glad you got a different job. â€
Even though the puzzle is huge and doing it more than once would be daring, I would be upset if I couldn't pack the whole thing together in the box. Puzzles designed to be done as a bunch of separates can't call themselves 1 puzzle imo
YOU BETTER CONTINUE TO BUY THEM PUZZLES! I am living vicariously through you! lol I wish I had the time to do more puzzles. I still have 8 puzzles still wrapped in plastic AND your Ravensburger puzzle to do!
Better to have too many puzzles than not enough!
I "only" have 6 unopened, but I agree completely. I'm in Europe and some of the American puzzles aren't available for me, or they are too expensive.
I hope to find time to puzzle over the holidays, it's kind of a Christmassy activity I think.
1,000% agree. You let us know about puzzles we never would have heard of. You probably singlehandedly got so many people to watch the World and National puzzle championships! If it wasn't for you, most of us would never had known about it. Keep puzzlin'!!
Same here. Got 2 little kids and 3rd on the way. Won't have the time for YEARS until they're grown.
@@THATSmE4EVA2u If they are old enough, you might want to start them off with kiddie puzzles. The pieces are large and have a low piece count (like 24). If they enjoy it, they might want to puzzle with you as they get older.
A lot of people have been asking when the Karen Puzzles Puzzle will be back in stock. The next batch of puzzles is on their way to Amazon, but with the craziness of the holidays, it's hard to know exactly when they'll be available to buy again. I'll keep you all updated on social media as soon as they're back!
I want to do the 100 colors Puzzle but itâs expensive. Its just the right size gradient .
Hey Karen puzzle I a couple of questions when you get a new unopened puzzle how to you get puzzle that wasn't supposed to be together unstuck without damaging the peices of the puzzle? and how many puzzles would have to collect to be considered a collector?
I would love to see a video where you visit multiple thrift stores and antique shops to see what puzzles you can find. That would be a fun treasure hunt!
I literally gasped when I saw the Studio Ghibli puzzles, they're so gorgeous! I'd love to have those 'stained glass' puzzles myself
Right?? Does anyone have a good source for exported puzzles from Japan in Europe? I'm so dumb I've lived in Japan before but my love for jigsaw puzzles reignited only after I've left Japan and now I'm stuck in Germany with only Ravensburger and Educa it feels like đ (not that they're bad, I just prefer traditional Japanese images and styles... and I've done all their Japan themed ones already)
@@Chuulip I gotten a lot of the plastic puzzles on Amazon. The brand is Ensky.
â@@Chuulip amazon?
The stained Glass ones are fun to put together! I got a Totoro one from Hot Topic, but I haven't seen one in years.
I collect puzzles vicariously through your channel, so itâs really like youâre purchasing for at least two of us. đâ€
I feel the same way!
Yes, the Keith Haring puzzle has repeated cuts. The white part is a noghtmare, so I will definitely NOT mix the bags. Each bag is four pictures, not columns, but like the danish flag. đ©đ° Each bag is also marked with some very small letters to indicate the section it represents. Good luck!
You know how your Dad has the Anvil museum? You're collection of puzzles will be big enough to make a puzzle museum someday!! Glad you had a great 2022!
As soon as Karen talked about the Keith herring puzzle having sections I imagined how cool it would be as a community/ group event, imagine a meet up where we work on sections together !
Honestly an excellent idea. I am so rarely interested in meetups, but showing up and just doing a big puzzle would be so fun. Though I feel like Keith Haring would probably be a rough one because someone would say "I'm looking for a red one with 3 prongs" and 6 people would yell "GOT IT" because it all looks the same.
Eight regular people or one Alejandro
I feel we need a video dedicated to Sean. I think whenever you complete a puzzle you got from Sean, I think it would be nice if you gave him a shout in your video every time. Just so he gets the recognition he deserves for giving you such a deal on the puzzles.
I also would like to know how Sean came to have such a collection if you could tell us in future videos when you complete 1 of the puzzles. How Sean came to get them.
Iâve literally never been more jealous of anyone in my entire life. The Keith Haring puzzle!! đ I slowed down a little on puzzles in 2022 but if I had access to your collection I would quit my job and live in that huge cardboard box so I could do puzzles all day đ
Years ago, I went to a Haring exhibition up in SF and I remember the feeling of being enveloped by the large pieces in some of the rooms. I betting that puzzle would feel like that.
I so love the vintage Springboks...I got into puzzling because of Springboks. You must showcase the octagon ones as well.
I finished my keith harring puzzle this year (after procrastinating on it for 8 years). Donât recommend mixing bags. The white band will be the same cut for every image; so if you mix it instead of guessing 4 images with the same shape, you will be guessing many more and making it very difficult as the white band can only be sorted by shapes.
For the educa puzzle, I brought my new but it was damaged in shipping. I guess thatâs why the older educa puzzles are in a wood box instead.
Not sure you'll see this but :
I was puzzlin a LOT when i was a child, my aunt on my father side was as passionate as you are about puzzles, so i'll always go to her house and do puzzle with her and loved it. She passed away when i was teenager and never did a puzzle since. i've founded your channel last week and seeing you so passionate as her about puzzle made me wanting go back to it, so i made an amazon whishlist with tons of puzzle that i'm sharing with my friends asking if they can help me go back to it. The first one on this list has just arrived today so i'm watchin this video while making my first ever 1000 piece puzzle on my own (i only did 250 to 500 pieces when i was younger) and so ready for it ! Even tho it might take few days or week i don't care, i'm just happy about it ! Thank you â„ (btw you're so adorable and passionate, the world could turn into puzzlin everyday if they see your channel !!)
Are you still puzzling?
Iâm most excited to see the modern artwork vintage puzzles with the poster!! When you held up the poster at 12:30 , I knew that colourful âDisks of Newtonâ puzzle would be the most satisfying to watch!!
**Carnival of Harlequin*
I saw one of your videos for the 1st time a few days ago and i am already hooked! I saw the episode where you were taking us thru your studio, and i recognised a box from my childhood in your vintage cabinet! My mom was quite a puzzler and i worked along with her. Back in the 60s, she had a puzzle that fascinated me, it must have been a gift from someone because it was a modern art piece... she would never have bought that for herself. I solved that puzzle dozens of times... when i moved away, i took it with me. But with so many moves around the country, it disappeared and i couldnt remember the name. I have even gone to the puzzle sections in thrift shops looking for it. Then you identified that puzzle as Carnival of Harlequin! Then i watched the episode with the estate sale and decided to just keep looking, but at least i have the name. Then just now i saw this video today.... congrats on you finally getting it! I dont know why i have such a fascination with that puzzle... goes back to my 10 year old self!
I can't wait to see the Keith Haring puzzle! It's one of the only giant ones I've seen that I would enjoy doing myself but I don't have the space so will need to live vicariously through you.
"Guys, I think I have a problem........." made me laugh so hard!
Keep it coming though, your videos are so relaxing. Also, your knowledge of puzzles is awe inspiring.
As a student, my time and space to do puzzles is wayy limited, so i end up doing maybe 1 or 2 per year. Watching you satisfies me, fulfilling the need to do puzzles and it honestly feels so nice! Thank you for doing the bare minimum of doing what you love and going through the process of making these videos to etertain us strangers, it means a lot.
Hello,
Just wanted to say really short thank you for making me fall in love with puzzles again. Iâve seen your videos and I started making puzzles again after 12 years or so.
I still have an old Ravensburger with missing pieces, I completed its 500 pieces at like 10.
A super nice and chilling activity but I also watched your videos with the championships and I should start training ahah. Subscribed!
Karen not knowing Bandai Namco (one of the largest japanese entertainment companies) is weirdly adorable :D
Oh no, did I get it wrong? I'm not too familiar with Japanese media, I'm sorry!
@@KarenPuzzles You said it correctly! (Well, correctly to how it's said by English-speakers; we don't pronounce our A's like they do in Japan.) It's just very cute because like the original commenter said, Bandai is one of the biggest Japanese media companies-- they don't just make/import puzzles, they make massive video game franchises like Pac-Man, Digimon, Tekken, Dark Souls, all of the Gundam stuff, any video games based off of comic books that ran in the biggest Japanese comic line (like Dragonball Z, Naruto, My Hero Academia...)
If all of those names are nonsense to you, it would just be a little bit like someone in another country looking at puzzles produced by, I don't know, Nickelodeon? And saying "oh, I guess Nickelodeon imports these puzzles from America!" Like, sure, but that's not the half of it! đ
@@WickedTurnipsNickelodeon? More like Mattel or Lego. :)
@@Kumagoro42 Eh, your examples focus on the fact they're all toy companies, my example focuses on the fact that they both do make licensed toys of characters much better known from popular media. (Barbie was famous as a toy first; Goku and Spongebob *have* toys but are *known* for the shows they came from.) Different angles for the same thought!
@@WickedTurnipsI was just comparing market power. Bandai could buy out Nickelodeon 20 times over.
I love seeing all of the vintage puzzles that you received. It brought me back to being a kid and doing puzzles with my family so I thank you for brining back those memories. I even had to google a few of them and share them with my mom and it brought me a bit of joy so I really appreciated this video.
A year later Karen gets swole from lifting all these giant puzzles.
Also Lamington is so generous and nice sending you all those puzzles! So are Sean and Tania
And GOSH the vintage collection! All these new puzzles! They're all so cool and pretty! The book design puzzle is creative I love it
Iâm upset with Ravensburger for discontinuing the double retrospect puzzle. I wanted one when I first heard about it, but I couldnât afford it at the time. I saved up my money, only to find out the discontinued it not long after releasing it. Now all you can find is a very expensive used one.
I just love the vintage puzzles. Especially the videos when you research the background stories. They are so great to watch! More of those thank you!
I just did my first Liberty puzzle and it really was such a fun experience! I found 4 of them at the Goodwill for $15! I only knew to pick them up because of this channel, so thank you!
Collecting puzzles isn't a problem, it's a hobby for a bunch of us đ looking forward to the giant puzzle next year & those new hexagon/circle shaped puzzles!
There should be a competition to guess the total number of pieces in all the puzzles Karen owns. I reckon she must be over a million by now...
I canât wait for you to write a book about your puzzle collecting journey like your Dad did with anvils. I will be buying it and visiting your puzzle museum đ TY Karen I love your videos and the safe place youâve created in this channel. Keep up the content for 2023!!
I'd be excited to see the rainbow puzzle that's in the black circle!
While I was watching you go through the vintage puzzles, I remembered a circular puzzle we had when I was growing up. I was hunting for it online without knowing the title and found it just as you got to your copy of Treasure Hunt. Excellent timing.
Aw, I loved this video! Congrats Karen on an incredible 2022! Thank you for making fun, informative, thoughtful and soothing content. You're a gem! I hope you have a well-deserved rest over Christmas.
Iâm definitely most excited for the big piece count puzzlesâŠthe first giant puzzle you did was my introduction to this channel, I have a soft spot for it
Fabulous puzzle haul! I love the stained glass window miniâs at the end and of course canât wait to see the next giant puzzle you do and all your new vids for 2023. â€
Congrats on such a successful 2022! It's been so exciting seeing all you've done!
I must admit I am quite jealous of your Playgroup Puzzle haul. I have two of their puzzles (the circle gradient and 100 colours) and they are some of the nicest puzzles I've ever done! I'd love to see a relaxing timelapse style video of you solving one of their gradient puzzles. And don't sell the 100 colours puzzle short. While it is small it is such a brilliant kid's puzzle. The way it shows how colours and shades relate to each other makes it so fun to put together (the piece cuts and quality are great too).
Karen, so glad you're here- looking forward to another year with you! I am just learning about all the different shapes pieces come in so you doing a puzzle that changed its format would be interesting to me.
You really werenât kidding in your last video of having NO space for Christmas decorations!! đ đ Would most likely love to see you do the rest of the Playgroup Puzzles and (maybe) one of those huge puzzles as well next year đđ!! â2022â was definitely your best year for puzzle videos and am excited to see what you have in store for the future đ§©
I loved this video! Your genuine excitement and love for puzzles is both beautiful and inspiring. â€ïž Many of your new puzzles are like art pieces. My goodness those vintage puzzles are fabulous too. Have a wonderful holiday break and a happy new year.
Glad you had such a great 2022; hereâs to a fun new year. I recall our family laboring over that Jackson Pollock puzzle years ago. It sat unmade in our family tv room and weâd all work on it now and then until we felt frustrated. We felt duty bound to finish it. Finally we did.
This is Karenâs version of âSo, a lot of you have been asking for my Skincare routineâŠâ
Just kidding slay Puzzling Queen!
Hahaha thatâs right! It does sound familiar. âSo a lot of you have been asking about my puzzle collectionâŠâ
Ha ha ha - and in my humble opinion, a far superior video too â€
This wins best comment for me today!đ€Ł
@@itsamazing101 I think im missing a reference lol
The only skincare routine I'm willing to watch for 40 minutes đ„°
I'm so glad your channel is thriving!!! I love watching your videos..... I'm most excited to see the one with all the special cut pieces....I bought myself two vintage rainbow Brite puzzles because I love her and you inspired me
Merry Christmas Karen! And Merry Christmas to Katie and your folks!! đ„° Your channel brings me so much joy!
What a great haul! I really enjoyed this video - just when I thought you must have shown all the puzzles, there were MORE puzzles! And how great to get the vintage ones in such good condition. I have a few stacked up to do over Christmas including the Ravensburger "Glass Slipper" one. I hope you have a great Christmas with your family, Karen, and I'm looking forward to your 2023 puzzling adventures đ
This channel has rekindled my love of puzzles! Both rebuilding old ones I bought when I was younger but had not touched for years, and several new ones bought in 2022 :)
2022 has been a fun year watching all the different puzzles you have done. I look foward to many more fun hours watching you puzzeling. I am thrilled that you are able to have this as you only job now. Have a very merry Christmas and enjoy your vacation.
It has been such a pleasure discovering your content in 2022! I love watching your videos with my kiddo, and we have become such puzzle-heads thanks to your inspiration! We got about a dozen puzzles between the two of us as gifts this Christmas season (so far!!) and look forward to more of your engaging, enthusiastic, educational puzzle-based content in the new year! Happy holidays to you and your family, congratulations on your triumphs this year, and seasons greetings to Katie and the whole Puzzle family!! I'm excited for adventurous projects, approachable puzzles, watching your impressive prowess at work, speed based puzzling, and you still enjoying these items (and this content producing job) with grace, sanity, and no burnout!!!!
Congrats on an awesome 2022! I want to see the puzzle with all the whimsical pieces :D And looking forward to all your vintage puzzle stories! Merry Christmas!
That's a LOT of puzzles wow! I admire your passion for these! Thank you for making these videos and can't wait to see how you solve these new puzzles ! :)
2022 is done and dusted. Iâm so looking forward to seeing you again in 2023 and hopefully seeing some of those beautiful puzzles you just showed us.
Thanks Karen, happy holidays and a merry Christmas to you and your family. Take care of yourself and we will see you next year.
đđżđâ€ïž
I would gladly take any puzzle you didnât want. You inspire me to keep up my passion for puzzles. I love watching your video and definitely want to do more puzzles!
This is such an exciting look into what 2023 is going to look like. I can't wait for you to do these puzzles! I am really looking forward to your videos working on these!
Thank you, Karen! Happy holidays, and enjoy your down time!
2022
What an amazing haul. I found 1 vintage Springbok puzzle today for $2 at the thrift store and I was thrilled!
I have a hard time following the really big puzzles, but canât wait to watch each vintage one you got!!
I discovered your channel this year too and have just been binge watching your videos. I also bought my first 3 puzzles! Though it wasnât as easy as I thought they would be, (I thought that if I watched your strategy videos, I can solve the puzzles in no time) I had so much fun waiting for the puzzles to arrive and attempting to solve them!
I also realised that solving puzzles werenât as easy as just putting pieces continuously and there actually was a long process sorting and searching for the pieces which requires a lot of patience and therefore I cant sit down and have long puzzling sessions.
I also could finally relate to having back pain and neck pain leaning over the puzzles, the lighting being a problem, and the lack of space and Iâm honestly shocked at how much bigger the puzzles were than Iâve imagined.
Merry Christmas and happy near year!! đ hope you have a good break!
You'll definitely get better at them the more you do!
I can relate to this lol,
Did the same and my whole room became the workshop for a 5000 piece puzzle.
First time since I was a kid puzzling it took 230 hours so it shows how fast Karen is in comparison haha
I get so many puzzle ideas from you! You have definitely re-sparked my interest in them. I have done three in the last week!
I also picked out Wayy too many puzzles for Christmas (yours Iâm most excited for) haha Iâm never gonna have the time to finish them but itâs so satisfying collecting these gorgeous ones!
Oh my gosh!! You need a bigger apartment. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful puzzles. I'm so glad you took the leap to do this full time in 2022. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family and I can't wait to see what you have in store for 2023!
2022 has been amazing, heres to another year of puzzling! of course im the most interested to see you do the giant puzzles!
O wow Karen, so many beautiful puzzles there. Canât wait to see you solve them. Thank you for your videos this year, Iâve loved watching it. Merry Christmas đ
Have an amazing vacation Karen! Can't wait for more puzzle content next year!! I love all your content and would enjoy your commentary for any of the puzzles you showed here.
I feel like your passion for puzzle is recognized and some carmic force blesses you with these amazing gifts (and purchases). Keep on sharing the vibrancy and colour with your passion!
I love watching your giant puzzle series! The 32000pc ravensburger one looks amazing, can't wait to see it!
Happy 2022 Karen! It was sooo fun to follow you this year and watch all your videos. You're the only person I know who owns as many puzzles as I do. Looking forward to seeing what you are capable of in 2023.âĄâĄ
Thank you for all this content! I'm a recent puzzle enthusiast and you have really opened my eyes to the joy of puzzling đ Thank you and happy holidays âïž
What an exciting 2022 has been for you Karen!! Thank you for sharing your passion for puzzles, you really made me reignite my love for them too đ€ enjoy the holidays and see you in 2023! đ§©
From your 2022 puzzle haul, I'm most excited to see you solve the Liberty puzzle. They do my favorite jigsaw cut. They may be pricey, but their puzzles are sturdy, enjoyable, and fun to solve over and over. The whimsy pieces make even a solid color picture fun to solve. I have an original artwork I want to be made into a custom Liberty puzzle, that's my Christmas wish!
Looks like *2022* has been a very good year for you. There are so many cool designs that it's hard to choose. Disks of Newton from Springbok is my favorite! I have mini haul from Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. I love watching hauls! It's so cool to see all the different puzzle designs. Wishing all the best in 2023!!
So excited to see what new videos you have coming! Thank you for a wonderful year! I'm excited to see all your big puzzles and difficult puzzles, but just to make sure you get a break from the chaos, I'd love to see the Jonathan Zawada artist puzzle and all of the Springbok bookcase puzzles! It would be neat to see you do one for each season considering the Autumn one is on there.
Cant wait for next year! Looking fired to seeing you solve more puzzles and Everything else you do for us. Merry Christmas and a happy new year, Karen!
What a truly marvellous collection. You really are a connoisseur of jigsaw puzzles Karen. I am delighted to hear that your channel has been so successful.
I am waiting in anticipation to own your Karen Puzzle from Ravensburger next year, when it finally reaches the UK! Sending you warmest wishes for a peaceful
and healthy Christmas.
You are so great at building puzzles! When i do them, I use a headlamp and it makes things a whole lot easier. I would definitely recommend it
Happy Holidays Karen! Thanks for all you do and "see" you next year!
Pre-Congratulations on being chosen to star in your own 'My Strange Addiction' episode!
Your joyfulness when opening all of them just makes this such enjoyable viewing. Iâd most like to see the 32,000-piece one, but it does need to be all mixed together. Could you mark the backs in different colours again? I know it would be time-consuming but maybe you and friends could do it whilst hanging out or watching a film. Anyway, happy Christmas, birthday and New Year!
I am currently working on the 42k Educa. I mixed the pieces so it is taking FOREVER, but I love it! I have been working on it pretty consistently since September 2021 and have a little more than 7k pieces left. I acquired the Haring this summer. Iâm not sure when I will get to it as my todo pile has been growing while working on the 42k. I havenât decided yet if I will mix or not. However, despite always seeing people saying donât mix, I probably will mix in the end. Itâs just what I do. I also mixed the 40k Disney Memorable Moments and I will mix the 40k Mickey through the Years when I get to it. I just donât know how good a video that would make though as it would be slow going.
Iâm just so happy for you! Those new ones are beautiful. And the Springbocks! So happy you got them. This video just keeps getting better and better. So happy for you. Thank you for sharing your joy!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Karen! Thanks for a great year of content, looking forward to seeing what the next year brings đ
What a wonderful year of 2022! Hope next year will be another great one fore you Karen. Excited for the mysterious puzzle!
Have a great holiday, Karen! I am so excited for the big puzzles, looking forward!
The crystal puzzles look beautiful! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Congratulations on all of your accomplishments in 2022, and I canât wait to see what 2023 brings.
Such a giant collection of beautiful puzzles, new and old! My absolute favourite was that Liberty puzzle with the funky piece cuts, definitely would love to see you solve that one on the channel. And to be honest, regarding everythingggg in this video - if you're doing puzzle solve videos or commentary on the history of vintage puzzles and so on and so on, I don't think you need to turn these puzzles into crazy weird challenges. They and your work speak for themselves. Merry Christmas Karen, excited to continue alongside you on this puzzle journey in 2023!
Happiest of Holidays to you Karen! I love that you have gotten out and done some competions! Those are always fun to watch! I don't think I would ever have the courage to do one, but you never know! And I love all the puzzles you received in this video! I find myself pausing the video so I can write down the makers etc etc! Your videos are always fun, relaxing and encouraging to a kindred spirit puzzler! Thank you!
I discovered you this year and so glad I found your channel. I love jigsaw puzzles and there's no one I can rave about them to IRL. Merry Christmas!
So many puzzles to do!! It is difficult to pick just one, but maybe the Liberty puzzle. I am a fan of the Liberty company, and that one looks really unique. Congratulations on all your success in 2022. Wishing you more to come in the new year.
What a fun haul video! Can't wait to see what you do with all those puzzles! So glad this year went well for you on CZcams! Hopefully that means many more fun hours of watching and listening to you!
2022 has been made much better by watching your channel! Thank you so much for your lovely enthusiasm! The puzzle I would most like to see you make is the 42000 one. I was totally blown away by the 24000 one, so I canât even imagine the size of this!
Enjoy your break, Karen! Happy holidays :D Thank you for everything you do for the puzzling community đ„°
im not into puzzles but watching your love and enthusiasm for them makes me so happy!!
It was your channel what brought me into jigsaw puzzles again and I always wait for your new uploads every week. Have a nice Christmas, Karen
I recently found your channel and have been binge watching them all!!! I especially loved watching you do the huge puzzles! And now I want to start collecting and doing more puzzles đ Thank you so much for making all this content and canât wait to see more videos in the new year! â€ïž
Yay enjoy your new puzzles! Canât wait to find out which is your favourite. Love watching your puzzle hauls! So entertaining đ
I'm very glad I found your channel. It just randomly popped up because I have been talking about this puzzle I have been working on that is Star Wars and it is so freaking difficult. But watching you gave me strategies so it was less cumbersome and more strategic. I hope you have a lovely Christmas break as we bring 2022 to a close and we'll see what puzzles 2023 have in store.
Hi Karen, I have the Keith Haring Puzzle. The sections are each 2x2 of the mini pictures. And YES the patterns repeat, they even repeat 4 times within the same section and there are no colour gradients. One red, one yellow and so on. I can really not suggest to mix this up. It would take ages
Thank you Karen for the great content which you are creating for the puzzle community. It is my favourite time of the week, when you're releasing a new video.
I actually started to rewatch quite a few of them including the 24000 Life puzzle series....which made me actually buy it. I couldn't ever have imagined to take on such a big puzzle project without you.
I wish you super Happy holidays and lots of time to rest and recharge your batteries.
Greetings from Germany
2022 - the 42k puzzle or one of those octagon boxesâŠIâd never do them myself but Iâll love watching you!!
The ones I am most excited to see you do are the ânot quite solid white puzzleâ and the Kate Banazi puzzle you showed right after it. Also Disks of Newton by Springbok. I agree it is very beautiful. I wish it was still in production.
Thank you for inspiring me to get back to puzzling. Iâm almost 60 and itâs hard on my back to work on them for long periods of time. Itâs so hard to stop when you are in the zone, but when your body is aching, you just have to. Watching you do those huge puzzles has invigorated my puzzling spirit! Even if it takes a long time, itâs still fun and satisfying. You are a gem. I have a puzzle (glued) that I did in my teens called âJigsaw Jungleâ. Have you heard of it? It was Spingbox I believe. So fun. Everything in the image has a puzzle design on it. Tigers, spiders, leaves, and mountains. You would love it. Happy new year!
I am in awe watching you tackle the big puzzles but I enjoy all your puzzle content so as long as you keep puzzling I'll keep watching
so excited to see you take on those Bookcase Springbok puzzles! Such a cool concept, great way to present 2 puzzles in 1 box
