Don't forget to enter the contest to win some Ravensburger puzzles at the link in the description! And tell me in a comment if you ever declutter your puzzles like this and what you do with the ones you're done with!

I think it would be really cool if you did a giveaway every once in a while with the puzzle you don’t want anymore

Its so strange to me because I only do puzzles once, and usually only ones I plan to frame.. i didn't realize people kept them and did them repeatedly!

When donating puzzles to our library, I put the pieces in a closed plastic bag so none slip out. Also I mark on the front if they are complete. They are sold in the library's bookshop.

I just got into puzzles! No need to clean them out yet... I’m building a collection!

So funny to hear you say, "Once is enough," on a lot of the puzzles, meanwhile I've done the only 3 puzzles I have (1000 piece, 750 piece, 500 piece) at least once a day for this entire quarantine (been stuck at home for more than a month now) lol Some days I do the 500 one, 3 times a day 😂😭 My mom calls me crazy but I love puzzling so what is a girl to do 🤷 P.S. I do have a couple of 100 ones that I used to love doing when I was younger but I think all you puzzlers can relate that it comes to a point when they aren't even fun anymore cause they're not CHALLENGING and you can't really do it more than twice a day without rolling your eyes at yourself lol

The nerd level on these videos is off the charts. I love it.

I’m home from college for a month and I’ve been puzzling nonstop! I tried other brands but I just can’t beat the quality of ravensburger. I’m gonna miss doing puzzles every day when I go back to school

it is that time of the year again to do spring cleaning and i have such a hard time parting with my belongings. this video is inspiring because of your decisiveness and being so straight forward with it. you have a clear criteria and have a purpose for the ones leaving you even if you enjoyed the puzzle

Yes I have donated all the puzzles I had accumulated for quite a few years. It was a challenge for me to give them all up but I was running out of storage space also. I found the senior center was thrilled to take them all and I know that was a great place for others to enjoy them too. I am a quilter so I had a lot of sewing puzzles that I know the women will enjoy. Your puzzle shirt just jumped out at me when i started watching your video so I will definitely look that up! Enjoy your videos and especially your Harry Potter ones! That’s how I found you just a few months ago! Don’t stop! You keep this old lady entertained!!!

Nursing homes are also a good place to donate. The Activity Director will be happy to take them off your hands.

Yay! Finally found a hardcore puzzler. So nice to meet you😍🥰💞

Nice, quick overview of some interesting puzzles that are still floating around. Who'd have thought a lady straightening up a bookshelf could contain so much useful information.

Great walk through of your puzzle collection. It is great to donate the puzzles you are done with to the local library. Your videos help show the range of difficulty across puzzles. Sometimes I want a challenge and sometimes I want an easier puzzle.

I’m so lucky to discover such a nice lady that loves puzzles as much as I do 😊 I hope you never stop making puzzle videos and continue with what u love.

I love the Ravensbuger puzzles. I have been working puzzles like crazy. Love the challenge.

I have been doing puzzles for weeks. I bought the 3d 540 sphere and it was the best puzzle I have ever done! Also while I puzzle.... I watch your videos. I have gotten so much better at puzzling! I have also already done both of your puzzles which were amazing! If you want to sell or get rid of some puzzles, please let me know! Thank you Karen!

Challenge is right! I love that your go through your puzzles and donate and reorganize! I do this all the time as my puzzle collection just keeps on growing and I keep having to expand to other shelves in my book cases, which makes me go through my books and reorganize them to give the puzzles a place to go. Believe me, this is fun fun fun!

It's always a *challenge* to decide which puzzles to keep and which to let go! Recently I discovered that there are other puzzlers where I work, and we trade back and forth, it's been a great way to try puzzles I'd normally never do!

Thanks for this! I've been looking at my puzzle collection and wanting to shed some as well. I love looking at your puzzles! I like your idea of separating "to do" from "do again"

I'm going to use your video as a challenge to myself to get rid of some of my collection(s). It's a perfect time of year to clear out the old to make way for the new. I really enjoy your videos and I'm glad I got to watch this on National Puzzle Day :)

Deciding which puzzles to keep and which ones to donate can be quite a CHALLENGE! Nice work, Karen!

I love the difficult puzzles, that take a long time - more challenging (love a “challenge”), more puzzling time and more satisfying when finished. I love that Ravensburger floral one! Not seen that one over here in the UK

When I recognize a puzzle in previous videos, and you agree to keep it, Karen, I smile and nod so hard.

Hi Karen, I love your channel. My husband and I are retired and we started doing puzzles a few months ago when we had power outages ( power co turned off power to avoid fire danger ) Puzzles are so much fun and relaxing we started collecting them, mostly from thrift stores ( Thank you for donating!!!!!) Now we have one in progress daily. Its already time to donate- that will be a CHALLENGE .

So glad to find this video on the puzzle lady! Now I've searched and found many more! So finally glad to have found another puzzle loving lady! Code word is "Challenge"! Watched it all Karen! I have gone through my puzzle shelves many times! Its one of my favorite things to do besides puzzle making! I share my puzzles with my daughter and another good friend! But honestly, its really hard to get rid of any of them! Thanks for the idea to donate to my library! Had not thought of that! Will be following from now on!

Karen, you’ve got a fantastic website. I only have four puzzles so I won’t be decluttering any time soon. I just mounted a cool golf puzzle using your technique of just taping the back with painters tape. Thanks ❤️.

Wow, what a CHALLENGE to get rid of so many puzzles. Congrats!

Great video! You rose to the CHALLENGE and found the puzzles you really wanted to keep and others you wanted to donate. Nice work Karen!

I love puzzles. 💗 I like the quality of Ravensburger Puzzles.

I really like the *challenge* of doing jigsaw puzzles but I've never done one all in a single day. Then, the ones I've done, I haven't taken any of them apart to redo them. I'll take them apart in big chunks, store them in the original boxes and get new ones to complete. Maybe I should start disassembling them like you do and doing them from scratch. BTW, I never thought I'd find a channel like this. I really like it! It's cool! 🙂🧩🧩🧁🍩🧁🍩

That's a lot of puzzles! I look forward to seeing the sphere and the color changing puzzle.

Awesome puzzle collection!! I just got my first bits and pieces puzzle (1000 piece pizza image!) a few weeks ago and am excited for the CHALLENGE that awaits me!

I was crazy about puzzles as a young child. My mother used to make new ones daily from magazines. Now, I am doing the ones on iPhone and on my notebook. But after seeing your videos I am considering going for the paper CHALLENGE. Thank you so much for your time and work. Now I know which ones I can give a try and the quality of each trade mark.

‘Challenge’ I do clear them out every so often. You’ve inspired me to do another purge. Great time to do it with the enforced isolation here in Australia 👍🏼

WOW! Thank you for introducing me to so many wonderful puzzle companies. I am definitely going to be ordering from eeBoo in the near future - GORGEOUS puzzles! I also have Ceaco and Cloudberries bookmarked. I am sure the puzzles that you donated are going to be enjoyed by many people.

Thankyou for showing your whole collection, I have just started doing puzzles, I have three, it's a challenge

I find it a challenge to find a good quality puzzle I will enjoy working on. I love many of the puzzles you have shown and want to look into get a couple for myself.

What a challenge! Good job in donating and organizing!

My first video! It was long and a CHALLENGE to get through, but I enjoyed seeing all of your fabulous puzzles! Quite a stunning collection. I wish I had a quarter of what you have, I thoroughly enjoy the mindfulness aspect of putting together puzzles. You could anytime send one or two this way! I look forward to watching more of your videos and reviews.

I can’t believe you got rid of the beautiful owl jigsaw!

Challenge! What a productive morning. I'm sure people will enjoy the puzzles you've given away!

I love the challenge ☺️. I have done quite a few of the Ravensbrug Disney collectors edition 1000 piece jigsaws in lockdown amongst other makes. They normally take me about 2 days to finish each one. Looking forward to watch more of your videos!

That was a good puzzle purge. Feels good to let some things go. Great idea to donate to the library. Another place would be a community center or a women's shelter.

It's always such a challenge to declutter. You've inspired me to go home and do some of that.

Hi Karen glad you're back. I usually donate 2 or 3 puzzles at a time. Most of my puzzles come from thrift stores, estate sales etc. I just have a hard time paying the prices of new puzzles. My favorite puzzles are any holiday puzzle. I glue them and frame them and use them to decorate. My 6000 piece Noah's Arc puzzle was a challenge to say the least but I do love it hanging on the wall. Loved your video and happy puzzling!!

Hey, I'm actually working on that Buffalo gradient color CHALLENGE puzzle right now! Looking forward to seeing your review on it! It's my first time doing a gradient puzzle and it's a bit more difficult than I thought it would be.

That was great video someone is going be happy at the library to do those cause some where really fun looking. Happy New year. Challenge.

I just started getting into puzzling and have already accumulated quite a few. I’m planning on donating some to a long term care facility where I’ll be completing my nursing clinical placement :) hopefully the residents will be up for the challenge!

I loved this Challenge show. Very interesting.

Challenge I love watching your videos. Puzzles help me through the long winter months. I'm looking to find some new friends and maybe get a puzzle competition going in my area.

I decluttered my puzzles right before the new year! Here’s to a 2020 filled with puzzles we enjoy! 🧩❤️

My mother and I worked on that Gradient Buffalo puzzle (the one that was gifted to you) and it was SO difficult. Especially the red to orange section. The challenge made it unfun for me personally. But there are so many good puzzles out there that I am still excited for more! I have never seen puzzles at a library! That's so cool that yours takes puzzles!

Challenge! I have yet to get rid of any of my puzzles, but I will soon. I like the idea of donating them to the library!

challenge - such a wonderful word to describe doing puzzles. The last board jigsaw puzzle I did was an 8,000 piece. Took over 9 months but well worth it! Now, 20 yrs later I find I like the challenge of doing jigsaw puzzles online. I have an app called jigsaw puzzle and the icon is a green puzzle shape. It is the only app that has puzzles that are exactly the same size and shape of board jigsaw puzzles. I do not like the challenge of weird and oddly shaped pieces. Too mentally tiresome. I do puzzles for zen reasons and especially when I absolutely love the colors and pictures. Yours is the first puzzle channel I have come across on KZfaq. Thank you. :)

Awesome video! Thanks Karen. It's always a challenge to get rid of things we like 😉 Well done

I have passed my first two jigsaw puzzles to friends/family. Keeping the last one! I had a little nest of puzzles and with the shelter in place, I am having some time to do them

Karen I love your videos!! Thank you for all of your tips. I have a puzzle Collection to I just started to get in to ravens burger puzzles! When I look at my puzzles I love the CHALLENGE that they bring 😜

I just found your channel 💕 I love puzzles but I’m quite picky so I don’t have as many as you do, you could say it is a challenge for me to find a puzzle that I want to buy immediately

I enjoy so much of your videos!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

A new challenge won: sorting out your puzzle collection. Well done! Love your videos. :)

Such a challenge to let go of puzzles, thank you!

Love a good challenge, might have to try that Krypt puzzle.

Decluttering is always a challenge! Loved seeing your collection and trying to guess if you would keep or donate.

I usually donate them. Sometimes to thift stores, or sometimes when we go camping at forest service cabins and such, I will leave one behind for the next camper to have a CHALLENGE! :)

watching this 3 years later. It's funny to hear you say you are trying to stick to this one shelf. lol Not anymore

I loved your t-shirt!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

wow- lots of puzzle makers i haven't tried and some i'd not heard of! we are kinda new to it all and i look forward to trying an Eeboo puzzle. my family does them together and we prefer fast and easy fun ones, usually 300 or 500 pieces. the Bits and Pieces look interesting but you said they are harder- too much of a 'challenge' ??? (LOL too late i know) i will watch a few more videos on them and decide if it is something we would want to try. thanks for sharing your love pf puzzles and all the great info!

Challenge....so fun to watch

Challenge! Hahaha the second I saw the Thomas kinkade puzzle I was like Karen is getting rid of that... if there’s one thing I’ve learned on this channel it’s that you don’t like Thomas kinkade puzzles

Never realized how many puzzle companies there are. Enjoy your videos, getting started on puzzles. Got a Harry Potter from Amazon in today and have one coming from Buffalo games on the way. Great jom on the videos.

Yes, I do get rid of puzzles if I think I’ll never redo them. I could never do a gradient/rainbow puzzle - far too much of a challenge for me! I enjoyed your video very much. I can honestly say that Ravensburger are some of the best quality puzzles I’ve ever done.

I think it’s great that you’re going to donate puzzles! I bet it was such a CHALLENGE 😄

Karen. I can't bring myself to get rid of puzzles. I find it too CHALLENGEing. 😊

Challenge! Great video! Lots of ideas for puzzles I want to get now :)

What a fun video! This process is similar to mine. When my “stash” gets too big, I start to get rid of some. I give some to friends, donate some or sell some on Facebook Marketplace. I am glad you are donating to your library. I will occasionally go borrow one from the library and seeing what puzzle is set out to be worked on. I have been debating on getting the Flower Calendar puzzle by EeBoo. I think you have made up my mind to get it. I am looking forward to seeing the videos from your to do pile. Challenge.

All of my Puzzles i glue to a Foam board. i have alot & did get rid of many, still have about 26 of my favorites.

Coole video!👍 (i’m living in the Netherlands and i can’t go to the puzzle day😢)

I wish I could keep all puzzles! I did a major purge recently and it was a challenge for sure.

I think trying to declutter my puzzles would be such a challenge lol. You were very decisive!

Nice collection

I would love to raid your puzzle stack. White Mountain is one of my favorite puzzle brands. I thought I had done most of the ones with themes like, old toys and games, candy bars etc. Just finished one that was all USA based with signs, foods and many things we sort of go for here. The New York City one is one I have done. Ceaco has some nice puzzles and as far as keeping puzzles, I only have three that I chose to save and they are from about 10 years ago and they have chosen not to do anymore. There were only three of them and they were called "Jeweled Vintage Culture." Each one was a classy lady with unique backgrounds wearing vintage clothing and were wearing different headdresses that had a jewel on it. There was actually a fake jewel glued to the piece. Each box contained a 5x7, so I took them to Michael's and chose a frame for all three and matting for each one and they are still hanging on my living room wall. I would not like the Gradient puzzles at all. I like seeing a pretty or cute pictures when I am done. Love so many others you have. Sorry I have gone on and on, but I being a puzzler myself, I could not resist.

cant wait on that 3d sphere. Christmas was a tradition of getting a 1k piece puzzle, would not go to bed until completion..good times

Awesome love the challenge

Letting puzzles go, is a challenge I haven't encountered as yet. Well, I think my parents disappeared some of my puzzles when I outgrew them, but the more recent ones I have kept so far. Eventually, some of the test tube puzzles will bore me, though, and I guess I will try to return them to the circuit. I have no idea how popular they'll be with other collectors, though, so I'll just have to wait and see.

Watching through some of your older videos and now I want to buy more puzzles, LOL. I have serious issues with the Ceaco puzzles, the few that I have are really cheap pieces, I did a 500 piece Las Vegas one and once it was done I tore it apart, separated out all the falling apart/separating pieces and at least half of them I needed to glue back together. I just don't have it in me to buy them anymore if they are going to keep using cheap materials. It's a pity too because their pictures are so cute.

Love your shirt 👚. I don’t like the Challenge of doing puzzles they drive me crazy but I love your channel.

I love puzzling! its great, all types! i have a group designed to swap finished puzzles that i love running and this is where all the spare puzzles i get go! oh yes, almost forgot, Challenge :)

OH my gosh, I love the bird one!

I have 105 puzzles in my house but Im sort of like you right now. Hope you can come to Mexico to our puzzles contest.

It is a real challenge for me to get rid of my puzzles. When I do give them away, I take them to a thrift store. However, I love doing my puzzles over and over, so I rarely give them away-only the ones I didn't really like in the first place.

I somehow got this in my recommendations and have to thank KZfaq for this. I'm a puzzle lover, though I don't own that many puzzles. My parents don't allow me to, unfortunately. They say we can't put them on the walls anymore and now they're taking up space. Nonetheless, I still get to do some puzzles, as some people have asked me to do theirs in the past. The best thing I've ever done is a 18,000 pieces puzzle, which I've done for family members. I feel like I've never been that proud in my life before than when I've finished it. End of the story was, I've built it at my grandparent's home, because we didn't have the space at home, it has been finished for more than a year but my relatives didn't care at all + my grandparents needed that space so I had to disassemble it again. Yes, I've cried and I'm not embarrased about it at all. Anyways have a great day! (Challenge)

I love the CHALLENGE of a great puzzle! I love the eeboo puzzles' colours, but have difficulties getting them shipped to Switzerland, unfortunately! :-(

Challenge! I don’t have quite the collection you have! I have donated over the years...usually don’t redo...have glued a few...and would love to win some Ravensburger puzzles!

I often do the puzzles and after doing them i decide directly if i want to keep them or not. I gave they away for free. A lot of people are really thankful. This is much more worth than 2 or 3€ (which i would get if i sell them) 😊 But i have to admit that i only buy puzzle till 5€. There are exceptions. I only buy a expensive puzzle where i know excatly that i would keep them. Otherwise it would be a hard challenge to own all of them. 😅

You forgot to show us the big 5000 piece lol!! I love big puzzles! Thank you for another great video ❤ challenge

Letting go of my puzzles would be a real challenge for me.

Love this video! You didn’t mention though which library was going to get them so if someone is interest in doing one of them could do so. Without that info it my be a CHALLENGE to find them.

I love the *challenge* of larger puzzles! When I need to declutter they go to a charity shop (thrift store)

Challenge! You make puzzling so fun!
