Yes!! Without a doubt Donnalouise - meeting you all was just the best thing! Here’s to an amazing 2024 too! 😍

Great puzzles for 2023. Hope you finish your wildlife puzzle. Good luck with mixing the bags. My goal for next year is to do my first 5000 piece puzzle 🙂

Thank you! I am going to try my best to finish Wildlife - I just can’t wait to see the finished image - it’s going to be spectacular! Yay on the 5k! Have you got one in mind? The Artistic Mickey is a fun one 😍

Such a great video! 👍🏻🧩

Thank you so much! 😊

Great video as always. Puzzles that I would love to see you do on your channel.🤞🥰 Piatnik card puzzle. Just looks different than anything else you've done. Downtown Clementoni. I know Donnalouise has done this one, and I would love to see the difference in how you would approach it. This is one of my dream puzzles. I can't find it anywhere in Canada, and it's quite expensive to ship it in from Europe. Would just like to gather as much info before committing. Yes, yes, yes please to live streams. If this is not feasible for you, would also like to see full length, real time videos of builds. Thanks for a great year of videos. Looking forward to whichever ones you decide to build and post. ❤

Thank you so much! Woohoo! Second vote for the Piatnik! I hope to get around to that one very soon 😍 Ah yes! The Downtown puzzle - I just love the image on that, I know Donnalouise loved it too. Hopefully I can get around to that one this year as well - it’s a shame you struggle to get hold of it for a reasonable price over there. We are lucky with Clementonis here in the UK - they’re pretty easy to get at a good price. I will do my best with the live streams certainly! As I mentioned, Judy is really keen to do a go live together - I think that will be a good start. Thanks so much for mentioning real time video builds too! I am happy to do that as well - I assume you saw the real time one of the Pisa 500 piece that I did for the members/patrons? Thank you for your continued support as a member too - I truly appreciate that. Happy New Year and happy puzzling to you 🥰

Thanks Vicky! What a great year for you. Hope 2024 is just as much fun!

I love the idea of highlights for a video series, so cool! I would love to see the wildlife puzzle in its entirety in 2024, it's so pretty 😍. Also, the Pokémon one seems so colorful, I would love to see it completed. Happy new year!!!

Thank you! I’ve enjoyed making these vids - it’s nice remembering happy things 😍 Me too! I will try my hardest to get Wildlife done 🥰 Yay for a Pokemon puzzle vote! That one has been sitting on my shelf for a while - I hope to get around to that one too, and hope that the kids are still interested in doing it with me! ❤️ Thank you so much for all of your support - I really appreciate it!

The Lahaina one is so beautiful, I can't wait to see that one!

Oh yes! It’s so hard not to just rip that one open and start building it right now! Alas I have the dragon one out at the minute, so it will have to wait a little longer, but I really hope to make a start on it soon 😍

I am looking forward to watching you work on the dragon puzzle. I am getting ready to start my first 3,000 pc Clementioni called Manhattan Balcony Sunset . I got it for a Christmas present...Take care and Happy Puzzling in the new year !

Great montage video, Vicky! I'd love to see you finish the Dragon puzzle. 😊 ❤ more Grace 😂 . He's a beautiful cat. Happy New Year 🎉 and Happy Puzzling!! ❤

Thank you so much! The dragon puzzle is underway again! I am loving that puzzle so much, that sometimes I forget to stop and do wee update recordings 😍.

I’m so happy that you had such a great 2023! I’d love to see Wildlife and the dragon puzzle get completed. I love the giant puzzle builds!

I agree!! I just received my Disney Orchestra puzzle that I ordered and will be starting it once I finish my 4000 piece Educa Old World Map puzzle! Giant puzzles are something I just heard about in the last year or so and I love them! Thank you for your patience with building them for us to see!

I love seeing you work the big puzzles and would like to see you finish Wildlife. I get inspired to do a smaller piece count if available like the Disney Orchestra and A Night at the Circus!!!

Yes! That’s brilliant - thank you, I am going to make it a goal to get Wildlife done - I can’t wait to see the finished article! I love your inspiration to do the smaller versions. Some images really suit a large puzzle, but they’re equally lovely in a smaller format too! Thank you for your comment and for watching! 😍

Wow! What a wonderful montage. Soooooooooooooooo many. I am currently starting the Clementoni 6000 Downtown one. I think I will really enjoy it but it will take some time I think. I love the 40320. That was such an amazing gift to receive. I look forward to whatever you decide to build next. I'm sure you are wanting to finish off the Wildlife one but there are so many others you must be tempted to dive into as well. I have the 5000 Ravensburger Space one and that looks like it will be challenging. I sorted it a while back but haven't got around to starting it yet. All the best for 2024 and take care.

Thank you so much! Yes, a lot of puzzles last year - especially 500 piece Ravensburgers!! 😆 I really love that Downtown puzzle - I will have to get that one done soon too - it looks so fun and lovely, and I do love Clementoni! I hope you have fun with it! The 40k was just the biggest, and most wonderful surprise - I’m still shocked that I have it! You’re right, I just want to start them all! If I had a giant room with several large puzzle tables, I would do several at a time if I could! Alas 😆 I hope you enjoy the space one when you get around to it - I’m looking forward to that one too. And all the best for 2024 to you as well! ❤️

Happy New Year. I hope finished your wildlife puzzle

Happy New Year! Me too - I will try my utmost to get it finished this year 😍

For the next year, I think I would love to see you finish Wildlife and the Dragon puzzles. In 2023 I did my biggest jigsaw yet - which is only 1500 pieces (space is an issue), but hey, still moving upwards. Hmm, maybe next year I can see if I can make space for a table that would potentially fit a 2000 piece one - if so, then it's a good goal to have. Other than that, my 2024 jigsaw resolutions are hopefully going to the World's (practical issues need to be figured out) and then log/save pictures of every jigsaw I did throughout the year, so that at the end I can make myself or my social media some summaries or collections, I think that would be fun.

Yay! Thank you! I will definitely finish the dragon puzzle - I am back working on section B of that one again, it’s so much fun! As for Wildlife, I’m going to try my hardest to finish that one this year too! It would be so great to see it finished - I just think it’s going to look so stunning! Well done on your 1.5k! I hope you figure out a strategy for a 2k - I really like that as a puzzle count, I can just about fit a 2k on my normal puzzle table too, which is a bonus! Woohoo! I hope you do make it to the worlds - I don’t think I’ll make this year unfortunately, but I would say definitely go if you can! It’s such an amazing experience! I love your goal to log your puzzles and share them on social media - Instagram has an amazing puzzling community - I look forward to seeing them! 😍

If I may offer some unsolicited advice....... Vicky's video on how to do large puzzles in small spaces changed everything for me. I didn't think I had the space to do more than 1000 piece puzzles, but since watching that I've built several 2000 piece and recently my first 3000 piece puzzle. I'm still working my way up and am trying to get my hands on a 6000 piece one. I, of course, do not know all of what your challenges are but that video really helped me and I adapted the advice to my situation. Hope you can find something that works for you. Happy Puzzling ❤️🧩♥️

I will start today with the first part of the 18k magical bookshelf 🥳 my Birthday is on Sept 15 maybe we have the same ? Have fun with the wildlife double section 😉 greets from Switzerland ☺️

Thanks for letting me know! I definitely want to get onto the Piatnik this year 😍. Memorable Moments could happen - if I get my butt into gear with the Wildlife puzzle that is! 😆 I hope I can get started on that this year too! 😍

I can’t wait to watch you do the Disney moments as I’m currently working on it now.. I’m officially half way and working on the 6th part.. doing Peter Pan 🙈 just look at all that blue.. did you know with that puzzle there is a hidden little Mickey Mouse head in each part??

Yay! That’s so cool you are 6 parts in - not too far off finishing! I have heard that Peter Pan and Fantasia are among the most challenging sections, lots of solid colour! I didn’t know there was a hidden Mickey!! That’s cool - thanks for telling me - I will definitely look out for him 😍

I would love to see the wildlife and dragon one finished. Lovely video as usual. Did you get the triangular shaped boxed puzzles from a charity shop in Edinburgh? A few years ago I went in one there and they had six or seven and I was tempted but wouldn't have been able to get them back here to Greece.

@Vickymakesandbuilds

5 ай бұрын

No, I got them in a charity shop in Stirling where I live - that’s a shame you couldn’t take them back with you, I do get it though, those triangle boxes aren’t the best space savers! They look cool, but lack in practicality a bit 😅

This was a fun way of starting the year :) I'm looking forward to see you finish Wildlife this year, if you find the time and energy for it, and also starting your Clemetoni dream puzzle, because that image is so beautiful.

I’m also itching to crack open Lahaina Vision - it’s hard to see it there and not start building it! I just have so many others too 😆 Thank you for watching and for supporting my channel x

Thank you for that suggestion! I am up in Scotland and live in a small town so there aren’t many puzzle shops, but I would love to do a video based around the town I live and somehow link it to puzzles, perhaps even do a tour of the local charity shops - see what I can find! Only thing I have to be careful of is the general public being in the footage - if I can figure out a way to blur out faces, that could definitely be a possibility! 😍

Really would like you do the piatnik cards jigsaw

Yes! That’s three votes for the Piatnik - I can’t wait to do that one and will definitely be making a start on that one sometime in the first half of this year! 😍

looking forward to see you do the visiona or Lahaina visions puzzle with mixed bags. curious to how you attack those large piece count puzzles and curious to see if they are easier than my current puzzle (doing the 12000 piece Ravensburger creation of Adam at the moment) as image or if you run into the same issues as I currently. (having a lot of pieces of the same color and mostly puzzling kinda blind since the image is so big that you only recognize from a distance that you puzzles a face or a feet :D). since I do mainly big puzzles myself I really like your videos of the biggies. just a few questions, do you know how many pieces you puzzled in 2023? do you consider mixing 3 bags of the wildlife puzzle so that you do a 10080 piece puzzle or will you go immediately from the 9000 to 13200?

Thanks for letting me know! It’s going to be interesting mixing on of the 13k puzzles. I have mixed 9k, but that was a collage so a little different to mixing a continuous image puzzle like Lahaina or Visionaria. There will be really large sections to do there so I can see why you have that issue with your 12k. No I don’t think I will mix three Wildlife sections. I did think about it, but even on those middle sections, there is just too much green for me to think about doing 10k of that puzzle all at once! I think my next stair step will be 9k to 13k 😍
