Hi Lily, yep, I'm watching The last time I caught jigsaw-itis I did just the same and bought loads in one go, I ended up with swollen feet from the hours and hours I sat puzzling. Glad the puzzle arrived intact, I did go a tad OTT with the bubble wrap but I hate it when the box gets bashed xx

WOW you got some really pretty puzzles and some great deals. I am glad I do not have a good space to do puzzles and keep my cats from stealing the pieces. lol I hope you have a great time putting them together! I wish I could put more than 1 thumbs up on this "and then" was so much fun!

@@lindakelly7430oh my goodness! These stones were at the bottom of our recycling bin. Hubs found them months ago. I guess that's where your parcel ended up! It confused us both as to why they were there. They are beautiful, thank you so much for them 🥰

Fun haul! Enjoy! ❤

I like puzzles also. Have you tried the wooden Wentworth ones? They are amazing! I don’t have a lot because of the cost but love the ones I have so much.

I have one Wentworth puzzle and I lent it to one of my friends after the pandemic... and she still has it! They are expensive that's true! 🥰

I actually did the Marbles one, and it's quite hard. I did in 7h 51m 38s I enjoyed, but I wish I had picked another one from the series. My advice would be sort all the pieces and go by color and distinct marbles.

This is so funny, I’m still laughing at the ‘and then…………’ You are very fast at 500 pieces. It takes me ages to complete one. I bought a couple from the charity shop but they had pieces missing. It’s frustrating! . I always put a sticker saying completed on ……… no pieces missing! There are 7 charity shops near me so they usually cost between £1.50 and £3. Have you visited the world championships?

@ArtJourneyUK

Oh that's one of the reasons I don't like buying puzzles from charity shops, plus the ones round here are so expensive; makes a missing piece even more frustrating! I think the little "completed" stickers was such a good idea! I haven't been to the World Championships.. yet.. I only heard about it last year and became hooked watching the livestreams. Am fascinated by how fast people are! I'm a slowcoach compared to them! 🥰

I know right... 🤯

do you frame your puzzles or break them down to do them again ? they are lovely pictures . Happy ccoloring xxx

@ArtJourneyUK

9 ай бұрын

A bit of both. I have framed some of the art puzzles I did a few years ago, and we've had them up in the spare room like a mini art gallery 😆 but I mostly break them up. Usually take a pic first and then disassemble them. My favourites I keep to do again, the others I give away or donate. There's an old man who lives nearby who did puzzle swaps (like a puzzle lending library) during the pandemic and I give a lot of my completed puzzles to him where they get lent out to other puzzlers in the area 🥰

I prefer 1000 piece puzzles too but the 500s are good for some ‘snack size’ puzzling, a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

Thanks so much for your product recommendations! So glad I clicked your vid :D Gonna get the Becko board for my mom (already have an a3 art stand) as she's stooping too much and she's puzzle crazy. 🧩🖼🎨
