I loved this video! I love puzzles and it was fun seeing the different brands you own. Most of mine are buffalo brand because they are pretty affordable and I love 2000 piece puzzles which can get pricey! It is so true; many people that love books also love puzzles 💕 I loved that 1500 USA collage one!
Thank you Regina! It's a hobby that brings me so much joy. I'd be happy to send along the 1500 USA puzzle if you'd like since I probably won't be doing it again. If you're interested, lets connect on IG or email.
Holy moly, what a steal that box of 50 was! Great find. I have always loved puzzles, but haven't started "collecting" them (or doing them regularly) until this past couple years. Loved this video.
Found your channel while looking for puzzle reviews and then started watching your other videos . I’m over 2 to 3 times your age but I too love anything bees , puzzles , books and games .i went to Barnes and Noble this week and the puzzles are buy one get one half off . I wanted to get the bee one in the box but got a vintage Valentine one and now worried as you said the quality wasn’t good . Based on your opinions I went online to B and N and Amazon and Hobby Lobby and spent some of my Christmas money buying a few more . I got a couple like yours .The state flowers , the camping one.I want the cookbook one and the little wooden one in a bag and the 2 piece one with the donut . I like the college ones too and did the beer one years ago but only because it was given to me as I don’t drink beer either . Do you raise bees and are you a librarian ? I subscribed to your channel . Great job !
Hi Cindy! Happy puzzling, glad you found me in this little corner of the internet. Both Galison and Ravensburger are great companies for puzzles, very nice quality. I spent my Christmas money on buying puzzles too as the Go! Games store in the mall had 50% off all puzzles, so I purchased myself a few more to add to the collection. My dad is the beekeeper and it's a family business, so although I don't often put on the bee suit (only when collecting pollen), my mom and I fill the honey and I sell our honey at a farmer's market in the summer. I am not a librarian yet -- just a library aide. But I'm thinking of going back to school to get a Masters in Library Science. Still haven't decided though!
Great video idea! I don't do puzzles very often, but that USA flowers one is gorgeous! That embroidery looking one is also beautiful...maybe I need to do more puzzles 😂
I had no idea she had books, but the other day working at the library I saw two of hers get checked out, and now I'm excited to read them as well. The artwork is lovely and that puzzle was so fun!
I just purchased an eeboo puzzle at target this past weekend that I'm excited to do. They also recently had them on Zulily. I VERY recently started puzzling and I'm obsessed.
Audiobooks and puzzles, it's a match made in heaven! My Happy Coloring has significantly decreased since I've jumped back into puzzles during this cozy season.
What a fun video! I love puzzles 🧩 Do you use a puzzle mat? I don’t own one but I was wondering how well they worked if the puzzle actually stays together if you have to roll it up.
Thank you Mandy! I actually have never used the mat and am also very curious if it works well. In this next year, I may buy one to see how it works because it would be useful as I don't have a separate puzzle table. I just using my dining table, haha. If you end up getting one, let me know how it goes!
I love puzzles but haven’t done them in a very long time. I do own the Can you find it bakery scene and really enjoy it. I just passed it onto a friend recently.
I love puzzles! I found your channel from Rachel's channel and when the very first video I came across was jigsaws, I knew I had to subscribe! I am obsessed with wasgij puzzles, where the picture is a mystery and you just get a clue on the box instead of the actual image. They are so much fun. I had a pomegranate one with the same exact problem as you found about the edge pieces being a bit interchangeable.The world map one looks hard!!! I love that puzzle sorter. Great video, thanks for sharing your collection. $30 for 50 puzzles is epic!
Thanks for tuning in Alice! I've recently subscribed too as we have so much in common! I love this little community. Can I ask for Rachel's channel name? The love of books & puzzles unite! I really need to try one of those mystery ones for sure! Is there a brand you enjoy of those?
@@GloriaZThompson I think they are made by jumbo but used to be made by falcon. The older ones (lower numbers as they are numbered) are better quality as they’ve recently gone over to more recycled materials and sadly the quality went down a bit. Rachel’s new channel is just called Rachel B I think, she had tagged you in the 1001 books tag. 🙂
I love puzzles also, I usually do a lot in the winter after the holidays, so I can set up a bigger table to do them and watch television or listen to a book. My sister is the puzzle queen, I gave her a very hard puzzle I couldn't do and she did it within 3 days. Have you ever glue one to use for a picture? I did one of them like that, it was a shape of the united states indicating their license plates it was very different.
I may need to invest in a separate puzzle table or mat so that I don't take up our dining room table too much during this cozy season. But I have never done one like that and glued it. Sounds interesting for sure!
living in a small apt, can only take out my folding table at certain times. once I do a puzzle I pass it onto my sister, I never do them again, I actually never thought of that
@@whatbringscorinajoy2724 I've definitely seen more of her puzzles with different themes in the store. There's an ocean/marine one, and I think others as well. I love her art style too.
Great collection! I love both books & puzzles… I’ve done many different brands… right now my favorite brands are Heye, Art & Fable and Cloudberries. Oh, I just got my first wood puzzle by Liberty that looks challenging but amazing!
Thanks for the recommendations Anne! I just looked up Heye and Cloudberries and both brands look incredible! Totally my kind of puzzles. Uh oh... I may be buying more now, haha. Also! I didn't mention it in this video because I don't own one, but The Magic Puzzle Company puzzle I borrowed from a friend of mine was one of the most fun puzzles I've done!
