First comment!! I enjoyed the slide show and the haul, but ultimately.... my heart is with animals!! oh grace!! I'm hoping to use reading, art, and puzzling to help me lock down my finances in 2023. I have come across so many fun puzzles while thrifting. Surprisingly, I bought several 1000, 1500, and even 2000 piece puzzles; which, are quite intimidating but I'm hopeful! I left a few 3000 pieces thinking "nope, I'll leave that for Vicky!" TFS

Hi! I don’t think you are alone there, Grace has captured several hearts I think 😻 I think that’s a great way of locking the finances down. I also need to do that definitely 😊. I have found some wonderful things in charity shops, these Heyes are probably some of the best. I can’t wait to do one of them 😍 I hope you enjoy all your finds as well. I’ll get around to a 3k this year - I’ve done larger puzzles, but never a 3k for some reason 😆 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Love the video, what a great year. Thanks for the kind words xx

Cool idea to do a 2022 review! The solar system puzzle is so awesome, can't wait see it done. The cartoony ones from your charity shop are nice also. I would hate to do them personally because my patience couldn't handle this but I'm sure it's going to be cool in videos! As for the cat, I mean is a cat really a cat if he's not sleeping in the puzzle box or laying on top of puzzles? I don't think so lol. His little stain on the nose, I'm dying 😭😍.

Hi Vicky. Happy New Year and congrats on the 2022 Review - nice idea. I also have the Solar System one and have separated it out to the best of my ability - just haven't started to work on it yet. It looks like it will be awesome to do. Grace is a beautiful cat. Mine used to lay half across the laptop, half across whatever you were doing really. They just love to be part of everything.
