A 12 hour puzzle challenge to end the year!!!! Yes!!!!

I liked you decluttering your puzzle collection. You have a get channel that is growing

I would have such a hard time getting rid of a puzzle I hadn’t done yet. You did a great job so far!

Also no need to enter me on this- it's STUNNING but I think I would struggle with it and I know there will be someone else who for real loves it :)

Wish we were neighbours so I could trade with you. You give away some good ones!

Cavalinni (sp) puzzles are great. I have the color chart one that I loved.

Good choice!

Last time we moved I did not have as many puzzles as I have now. I would not like to move them now. I feel for you. But then, I already had over 2000 books at the time of that move, so...LOL

Books are much heavier... so I think I'll stick with puzzles ;)

That was so fun- when you get settled let me know if you'd like to try one of the "magic puzzles' I would gladly send one over!! They don't hold together for crap but the images and "magic" portion are super fun!!

Welcome to the channel!!! Favorite brands for quality - Ravensburger, Jacarou (although a bit shiney), Antelope (they have a paper backing, but it stays together really well), & schmidt

looking forward to your12 challenge. Merry Christmas!

You are only bringing one box to temporary housing?? That better be a big box!!! 😄😄😄 Great video. Yes there is something to be said about decluttering the stash. And I have to say I literally LOL'd when the idea of working the 500pc puzzles for a 12 hour puzzle challenge popped into your head. You got so excited!!!! Looking forward to that video as well.

lol yes - love when a good idea comes into my head. The one box is going to be quite small since everything we will need has to fit into the truck of our car. Luckily there is a whole new area with thrift stores to expore!

I loved the All Good Things are Wild and Free puzzle! Also, the Yankee Wink Hollow puzzle went together super quickly and could be added to your 12 hr challenge.

I did the Trick or Treat Hotel in a 300 piece. I love the Winnie the Pooh puzzle. Will keep that one in mind.

I have and worked on Written In the Stars 1500 pcs Buffalo Games is the same image as the Follow Your Destiny 750 pc you showed and rejected. Puzzle was fun until the only part left was the trees. Then I was dead in the water. Tried sorting by shape. Didn’t help. Too many dark pieces and same texture pieces. I put it back in the box in sections with the tree pieces in a Ziplock until my skill or patience or tenacity increases.

@thecasualpuzzler

I could see that section being tricky. The sky looks pretty though!

I think you got quite a bit accomplished. The Winnie The Pooh is really cute. I think it will be a fun one. Every once in a while I get a good haul from my thrift shop. Because I really don't have an attachment to them I put them together and then donate them again for someone else to enjoy.

Sometimes it is so hard to let go of things, You did a great job of decluttering!

I love Cavallini puzzles! It's hard to part with puzzles but in Montreal, there is a puzzle warehouse that takes donations of puzzles, sells them at a discount and donates the proceeds to a women's shelter. (Pretty eye makeup by the way!)

Are you referring to the Puzzles for good initiative by Jigsaw Jungle?

Always hard to decide what to keep and what to pass on. Going by the 'will I do it again' method does help. The 500s you put by for the 12 hour challenge look good. I do not have the space to keep large quantities of jigsaw puzzles so most of mine get passed on to the local community. I hope all goes smoothly for your move next year and that you have great Christmas.

I just bought Follow Your Destiny by Buffalo for bingo on your Facebook group. I’m using it for the Space theme square, I hope it counts. I know it’s technically astrology themed but I thought maybe it was close enough?

I don't know what a 12 hour challenge is, but I will find out because I'm sure you will do a video! Looking forward to that! You are only taking one box with you to temporary housing, but that's OK. Because you can find all the thrift shops around where you are moving to and find new puzzles there! I'd be nervous about someone else packing my puzzles, will you tape the boxes shut or something to make sure they don't lose pieces? What will you do with the puzzles you are letting go? Will you donate them or give them to friends? I have a self-imposed rule, I do a puzzle only once. I have too many puzzles and not enough space! So once I've completed a puzzle it goes to either my sister, or a friend or a puzzle swap, or I donate! I really enjoyed watching you go through your decision-making process.

They are VERY thorough when packing. We've gone through this process before and am not too worried. Putting them in ziplocs is a good idea though. We are having a big yard sale so I'll try to sell some, the ones that don't sell can be donated to a local veteran's organization that takes puzzles.
