Puzzles is about fun, creativity and joy. Rules, cheating, expectations... those things work against the joy and fun. I let go of all the rules others put on me when it came to puzzling... therefore... "cheating" doesn't even enter the picture. I understand rules for a competition... but when you get home... be free to let go of the rules. Leave the pieces together. do what you want to do to do the puzzle. Enjoy!!!! Kudos on your second 2000. I like them but they need to be busy images. As for time... it takes me about a week if i am seriously attended to it. I think I did one in 6 days and that was impressive. My first one took about six months. But that was before I was home without a full time job outside of the home. I don't time myself for any puzzles. It's about having fun... I'm not keeping score. As for apologizing for the sun... no need to do that. The sun is too big for you to have any control over. Happy 100 Birthday Disney... Great puzzle to celebrate their centennial.

Congratulations on doing this puzzle! You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. I think you did a fantastic job. It's such a pretty image. It's been many years since I've done a 2000 and 3000 piece puzzle. My eyesight and hand dexterity aren't what they use to be. Back then there wasn't a puzzle community like now and I never kept track how long it took to put them together. I think the image of a puzzle is always going to be a huge factor in how long they will take. Be proud of yourself, great job.

Now that I type it, it seems crazy I pushed through. There was so much red and the words coke over & over. I swore I would never do a puzzle over 1000 pieces again. But… just yesterday I decided to buy a 1500 piece so hopefully my speed has improved. I was proud that I finished but definitely a marathon.

Congratulations on finishing your first 2000-piece puzzle, Janette! 🙂And, welcome to the new world of puzzling! Larger puzzles, when finished, do bring a different set of emotions and satisfaction. I'm happy you had that experience and that, I believe, you liked it. I think that you worry far too much, you know... And, yes, you did make this puzzle far too complicated to finish than it actually probably is. I know you love sorting your pieces first, but not always it's the best strategy. I almost never sort the pieces when I have a puzzle with 2k or more pieces. I usually lay and flip over all the pieces on foam boards and or the tops and bottoms of puzzle boxes (I just separate the edges), and then, I simply look at the picture, pick what I want to do first, find those pieces, and start building my puzzle. That's it. I actually don't know how long it takes me to build a 2k-piece puzzle as I've never measured my time. But, up to one week and I puzzle only in the evening, 1-2 hours max a day. With bigger puzzles, well, I'm not sure if it matters... I think, you should simply enjoy to have a work in progress for a longer period of time (and not to worry it takes so long). Not everybody likes it, though. But, there is something magical when you eventually finish and look at the whole puzzle completed, especially if it's a giant puzzle (4k and more). I keep my fingers crossed that you will keep on trying to build bigger puzzles and getting out of your comfort zone. It's worth it 😉 Marta (from @marta.puzzles)

Well done for completing that puzzle, not an easy one. 👏 I don't do anything bigger than 1000 so can't comment on times for 2000 and bigger. How long a puzzle takes is image dependant.

Came for the puzzle, stayed for the pyjamas 🤣I think for these, and especially the bigger puzzles, it's normal to take some time to figure out how exactly to tackle the puzzle.

Can't wait for your 3K sub puzzle :D I haven't done a lot of 2K+ puzzle. Did the Asterix&Oblix 3K, and it took me about a week, with life inbetween. Not a fast puzzler, and I don't really sort. My dinning table is black, so I have thin wooden cardboard sheets with decrative white folie glued on. They comes in euro platte size, and I got it for free.

Jeanette, sweetheart, yes, you over thought the process, but remember the basics: the challenge of any puzzle, regardless of the number of pieces is to put each piece in the correct place to complete the image. The time it takes to complete a 2000 piece puzzle is the time it takes YOU to complete it. I am a slow puzzler. I just completed a 1,000-piece puzzle and it took me 59 days. Including the days I did not work on it at all. I will not be going to the world jigsaw puzzling championship.

I think 2000 pieces are a lot of sorting which takes time, but build as you go with bigger puzzles stresses me out. I like to work my sections usually on smaller boards then place them on the main board together so I’m not constantly reaching. Then usually the filler pieces aren’t too many to put in last. I’m currently working on the new Krypt Glow puzzle by Ravensburger and it is 881 pieces and taking me a lot longer than a 2000 piece so it all just depends on the image!

you’re ragging on yourself for being slow, meanwhile i think you did it quickly. i was cringing before you even started because i have a done a similar puzzle (1500 piece) by ceaco, disney with the gold borders, and it was an absolute nightmare. granted, at the time i hadn’t done that many puzzles before and i thought it looked like an easy image. also i had only recently found karen’s channel and had not found anyone else’s yet. you handled this one much better than i handled that one. i haven’t actually completed a 2000 piece puzzle yet, though i’ve gone about 3/4 through one before i left in pieces in the box, and i have another 2 i want to do. i’m not sure i’m good at gauging my times at all. i typically think an easy 1000 piece puzzle takes me 2 days and a more typical one takes about a week. but that’s also considering that i have a full time job and also don’t puzzle some days so it could take longer.

I feel like it came across wrong, but I wasn't disappointed with my time, but rather me thinking I won't be able to do it, and then overcomplicating the process for myself 😅 That 1500 - if it's a Mickey Mouse one, it looks way more difficult that the this one I just did! 😬 I think it's very important to have a good quality puzzle and a picture you love, when you decide to tackle larger puzzles, otherwise it can just drive you insane 😂🙈 I don't time myself either, when I'm leisurely puzzling, just when I record a video. I just started another 2k puzzle, and I think it'll take me weeks to finish. Definitely not as easy as the Disney one 😅

@@janetteandherpuzzles it was the disney classics one that i did, with cinderella in the center. it looked simple enough, but the colors weren’t as easy to differentiate once you were looking at a box full of pieces. the lady and the tramp section was difficult, and the background of the dalmations. plus it was a lot of dark blues and browns, and SO MANY pieces with gold border. i pushed through and finished it, but definitely broke it into 5 or 6 different sections, each in a baggie, before i traded it. 😂😂

My usual time for a 2000 piece puzzle? I have no idea. I am not timing any of my hobbies, I want to relax and a timer in the background is not relaxing at all. Why would you want to do a puzzle as fast as possible if you are not specifically training for a speed puzzling competition? Just enjoy doing the puzzle 😁

Makes sense! I don't time myself either, when I puzzle leisurely. I did however, want to know my average time for a 2k puzzle, so I have some sort of a time frame for when planning to record videos. I have 2 days off, and I have to plan accordingly 😅

Dont do the frame first in this puzzle it is the hardes part! 😮

Seems to be a coincidence. 2000 pieces for 2000 subscribers

1000 takes 2 days with me 2000 takes 2 weeks and 3000 takes 2 months and you finished 2000 in 9 hours and your disappointed?

Well, I wasn't disappointed in the amount of time it took me to finish the puzzle, but rather in me stressing out about it, and not believing that I can actually do it 😅🙈

@@janetteandherpuzzles you did amazing in the competition, much love from Lebanon

I dont believe it is possible to finish that puzzle in 10 hours. From 1000 to 2000 is a biiiiiig difference, not twice time... 500 (lets say) 1 hour 1000 - 5 hours 2000 - 9 h 10 min ????? Math is wrong here. Why are you lie, unsubscribe.

The time of the puzzle depends on the picture a lot. My record for a 1000 piece puzzle is 2.5 hours. I have done a few puzzles within 3-4 hours 😊 But I also did a 1000 piece puzzle in 19 hours. It all depends on the picture. I'm sorry you feel like I'm lying to you, I wish I had the timer next to me, but it is possible to do it. And this picture was very easy and the piece cut pattern is also very distinguished! 😉
