Shannon, huge is not the right word for this haul. It is enormous, humongous, never seen, lol. Wow. I enjoyed watching it. You must be an art lover at heart. I love art since I was little and puzzles are an art enjoyment that never ends when you put them together. Great picks. I have my own private stack to work on at home. My husband loves puzzles too. And my young son, joins in as well :)
Hi Laura. I just found your comment today and I apologize it has taken me so long to reply! I do love my puzzles and I do love art!! It's awesome that your whole family enjoys puzzling. My hubby is not into it at all - and he is *definitely* not thrilled that I have a bedroom full of puzzles. I try to keep him away from the "puzzle room". Thanks so much for your comments! :0)
What an interesting variety of brands! So many I had never heard of. I actually came across a Paper House puzzle at the thrift store today -- I had watched your video a few days ago and remembered your comment about the thin pieces. So I had a look inside the box and sure enough, definitely on the thin side. (That puzzle didn't come home with me.) Would you ever consider buying some of your puzzles from thrift stores, if the thrift stores in your area have puzzle sections? I find it a huge money saver, and it's so fun to go on a treasure hunt, one never knows what puzzle treasures are sitting there waiting to be discovered! Of course, missing pieces are always a risk, but you can mitigate some risk by only buying ones whose pieces are bagged or the boxes well taped.
Hi there!! Amazing that you ran into a Paper House puzzle and remembered what I said about the thin pieces!! Regarding thrift store purchases, I've got to be honest, I absolutely HATE it when a puzzle has missing pieces. IT KILLS ME! I also hate taped boxes. I want the boxes to be perfect, and all the pieces to be in the box, and the only way I can be sure of that is to purchase new. Of course, that isn't a guarantee, but I know I've got a really good chance for all the pieces to be there. I guess you could say I'm super picky, which is why I call myself the Persnickety Puzzler! Thanks so much for your comments and stay tuned for more videos! 😜
@@persnicketypuzzler I thought you did the post'-it notes just for the videos, but I believe you did mention you give them away as well...the notes do help for that too..yes. Awesome! It is very challenging! It is called Supervised Feast. By now, you probably saw the cat "supervising" over 100 mice feasting on a banquet! I may be purchasing Colorful Ladies. It is my style of jigsaws; it is in my cart, but I still have many to build so still thinking about it. That was a good variety of jigsaw puzzle brands!
@@bettyc.6280 I hear ya. I am also struggling with not buying more puzzles when I have tons of them left to do. I also know that Black Friday is coming up and there is no way I won't be purchasing more puzzles while that is going on. Sigh.
Hi Shannon, love your videos. I've done several cloudberries puzzles and have always experienced problems with false fits,did you have the same problems?I would like to recommend enjoy puzzles to you, for me the quality is brilliant 😊😊
Hi Janet! I did not have any problems with false fits with the Cloudberries puzzles I assembled. I will be doing more of a deep dive with Cloudberries soon and will keep my eye open for that. As far as Enjoy puzzles go, I *just* participated in a Kickstarter for several new puzzles they are releasing and I am excited to get their puzzles. Really looking forward to it now that you recommend them based on quality. Can't wait! Thanks for watching and commenting. :0)
Hi Holly! I checked out Puzzles Canada and they are actually a little higher priced than Rosewillie on Yazz, Magnolia, and Heye puzzles. On the Rosewillie site you pay in Canadian dollars but once you do the conversion to US dollars Rosewillie is slightly cheaper. Puzzles Canada does come in a close second however. Thanks a bunch for your comments! :0)
Thank you for the videos. I just discovered the joy of jigsaw puzzling, and really appreciate the brand reviews. There are so many of them at Amazon! I also appreciate that you give difficulty levels, but knowing that you can solve 1000 piece puzzles while watching TV, I am sure I have to scale the difficulty level to my non-existent puzzling skills :)
Awww... thanks for your kind words! Yes, there are SO MANY different jigsaw puzzle brands on Amazon! And to be honest, a lot of them are cheap knockoffs! You have to be careful and make sure you are getting a good quality brand. I have been puzzling my whole life, so I can put puzzles together relatively quickly. You will get faster as you keep going. It's a serious addiction that I will never get over! If you can't beat them - join them! Lots more videos are coming so stay tuned! :0)
Wow, you sure put together a lot of puzzles !! I enjoyed seeing all the puzzles and hearing your comments on each one although I am not familiar with most of these brands. I would most like you to consider showing us more about the two Djeco puzzles - Leopard and Land & Sea. I am attracted to those puzzles in particular. I do have experience with the Galison puzzles and I own 3 of the puzzles that are part of the Meowsterpiece of Western Art series as I love the art of Susan Herbert's parodies of great paintings by Van Eyck, Renoir, and Boticelli in which she substitutes cats for the humans. I recently purchased two Halloween puzzles from Vermont Christmas Company - "Halloween Nightmare" and "Scarecrow." I may not get to them until after Halloween due to work commitments !
Hi Maggie!! I am planning on doing a review of the Djeco brand sometime soon. I really like the brand - just wish they had more 1000-piece puzzles to choose from. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more brand reviews! :0)
I'm enjoying your channel so much! I'm a complete jigsaw puzzle newbie, got into it through a family member and I've only put them together at their place during vacations. But I'm looking forward to bringing that fun home and get my first one. For now I live vicariously through all the beautiful pieces you have put together. Greetings from Portugal ✨ hope your channel grows more and more
Hi Andrea! Thank you so much for your kind words! Have you figured out which puzzle you want to do first? Once you start you'll never stop! Stay tuned for more videos coming out in the near future! :0)
Hi Shannon, Thank you so much for your thoughts on your puzzle brands. We are amazed at the difference of styles, puzzle cuts and fits. Please keep going and giving us your thoughts. From Australia we wish you all the very best. M+C🇦🇺🇯🇪
Hi Mark! Awww... thank you for your kind words. I wish I could get my hands on some of the puzzle brands in Australia! I have managed to get some puzzles from Journey of Something but that's about it! Would love to hear what you think of other brands in Australia. Thanks for watching and stayed tuned! :0)
Hi Pam! The Chocolate Overload puzzle is absolutely adorable and sooo much fun to put together! My collection is not on *any* shelving at all - just neatly stacked in large piles on the floor. And I am running out of room! What a dilemma! :0)
Hi Shannon, I loved your puzzles reviews. Super cute images and nice brands like always. I think you are doing great at taking initiative in knocking at the puzzles company’s doors and asking if they would like an unbiased honest review from you. Especially because they are so well put together. Is a win-win situation. They get more business, you get free puzzles or at least at discounted prices. I don’t exactly how is done but some puzzle channels creators review a puzzle and add the link on the description so if anyone wants to buy a puzzle, they get a small profit so they can continue buying puzzles to showcase fit their channel.
Hi Laura! Thanks so much for your kind words and being one of my early subscribers. I haven't gotten any sponsorships from puzzle companies yet - but I hope that changes in the future. I am an Amazon Affiliate, which means if anyone purchases a puzzle on Amazon using the links in my Description that I get a small percentage of the sale. So far I haven't made a dime! But I'm not giving up! I have tons more brands to review! Thanks a lot for your comments! :0)
Wow, Shannon! I do a lot of puzzles, but don’t even come close to your output! You find such interesting puzzles and I love watching you show them. I love the British Bake Off too, but I don’t watch TV while I puzzle, I listen to vinyl records.
Hi Morgan! So awesome that you listen to vinyl records while you puzzle!!! Back in the day I had a *LOT* of vinyl records and I also used to spin records in college working as a DJ at my college radio station!! This was before CDs of course. Thanks for being such a loyal viewer! :0)
Hi Randee! I am *DEFINITELY* going to do a review of Magnolia puzzles. I picked up a bunch of them from when I shopped at Rosewillie. Can't wait to start putting them together!! Thanks for your comments! :0)
@@persnicketypuzzler I can’t wait to see what you chose!! I have probably 12-15 waiting for me to do and I just (obviously) love their images. I bet we have some of the same ones. My taste mirrors yours but I’m no where near as fast as you!!
@@randee719 I also *love* their images. They are fabulous! I'm actually currently filming myself putting a Magnolia puzzle together for my review of the brand! Stay tuned! :0)
Hi Phil! I typically donate my puzzles to Goodwill or try to sell them locally. I would prefer not to ship, but I may change my mind and start doing that. :0)
