I know, bless him - when he first did this my heart melted - it felt harsh not letting him in as he clearly wanted so desperately to get in! He just loves company I think, but I have had so many puzzles out lately. I’m glad I was able to share a wee bit of Grace footage with you all though 🥰

I've enjoyed following along with your puzzling journey this year! It's crazy to see how much you and your channel have grown. I remember you said you'd really only done 1000 piece puzzles when you first started! (If you added up the puzzles from the year, you would probably reach your subscriber count.) You've worked hard to improve your skills as a content creator and puzzler and it shows! Can't wait to see what you accomplish next year.

Thank you so much! What a lovely comment 😍Thank you so much for being with me from the start, and that’s true - the Disney Orchestra that I did way at the beginning was the first big one that I did. I’ve not looked back since! 😁 I really appreciate your words on my content creation skills - I do try and improve that all the time, as much as I can, and I’m so grateful that it shows. Happy puzzling!

Lovely retrospective! Big fan of His Royal Grace - I’m fortunate that our two kitties haven’t discovered the puzzle table. Enjoy the Bizarre Town puzzle - it’s the sort of image I think you need to assemble more than once to see all the whimsy in it.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😍. Yes, it was fun putting together the Grace section, and I was glad to share some footage of some of his more cheeky exploits 😻 lucky you that your cats haven’t discovered the puzzle table! 😆 I am inclined to agree about the Bizarre Town puzzle! There is so much going on in his images!! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 😊

He is indeed! 😻 Thank you so much - I’m glad you loved it, I’m working hard on part 2 - should be fun as well 🤩 Once again, thank you so much for your continued support as a channel member - I really appreciate it x

I only started following you after worlds, and I haven't made it far back in your previous videos, so it was fun to see some of your other highlights! Love the cat. And wow, you did a lot of big puzzles!

Hi! Thank you for following me! 😍 It was quite overwhelming looking back at 2023, as so many great puzzling things happened - I’m glad you enjoyed the highlights 😃. The cat is popular - if you haven’t seen it yet, my recap for the end of 2022 has quite a long set of Grace bloopers at the end - he’s a wee cheeky chappy! Yes, I can’t seem to get enough of big puzzles. When I first started my channel I built the 13.2k Disney Orchestra - it is still my favourite puzzle to date - I absolutely loved it and just got the bug for the big ones from there on. I’ve done several since then and have a to do stash about a mile high I think 😆 Thank you for watching - Happy New Year to you!

Yes, 2023 was quite a year for you wasn't it! The best is yet to come. You've done amazingly well considering that it wasn't all that long ago you started your channel. 👍 Loved seeing Grace up to his antics and would love to see more of him. Looking forward to the next BOTYP later this month with hopefully a somewhat easier puzzle than the Galison Flora Heart that we had last time!
@Vickymakesandbuilds 5 ай бұрын
It really was - looking back over it and remembering was so lovely and really quite overwhelming. It was a great puzzling year 🧩 I will try and get more of Grace in this year, it’s just tricky having him in the puzzle room, but I will try 😍. Yes! I can’t wait for BOTYP 3 either, it’s always so much fun 🤩 Thank you for watching, commenting and all your support - I really do appreciate it x

@heather6668 4 ай бұрын
@@VickymakesandbuildsThat's their job LOL. I used to go to bed to do stuff on the laptop and the cat would come in lay across the keyboard so that was that because I mean, you don't move the cute little buggers, you set aside what you're doing like an obedient owner and give them the attention they want.

This was a great video about your puzzling life but I’m very excited about the cat
@Vickymakesandbuilds 5 ай бұрын
Thank you! 🤩 Oh yes, the cat is very popular - if you haven’t seen it, my recap from last year has a longer blooper section involving Grace - in fact it’s pretty much all him 😆

@Vickymakesandbuilds 5 ай бұрын
Thank you! That as so fun to do - and Judy had to pick her’s up several times to get it right. I think she may have had similar pet problems as well - her dogs wandered across it at one point 😆. The high 5 was tricky, but so worth it in the end I think 😍 Thank you so much for your member support - I really appreciate it x

😂 loved the segment with Grace. He just wants to help. 😂😅 ❤ What an eventful year you've had! I love The Battle of The You Tube puzzlers!! I always enjoy your videos! ❤ More Grace! 😂 Happy Puzzling Vicky!

Yes, he is popular, but he’s not been as around in the puzzle room unfortunately. It’s just been too risky with all the puzzles I’ve had on the go. Will try and get more of him for this year though 😻 I’m so glad you love the BOTYPs and my videos - thank you so much for your lovely comment and for watching my vids. Happy puzzling!

Congrats on all you accomplished last year. You totally deserve the sucess. I love your channel.❤ Wow Bizarre Town looks incredibly hard. That puzzle would be my worst nightmare 😂. So busy, so much similar colours and textures. The Sistene Chaple also looks hard, but for me easier than Bizarre Town. You're great, you'll do fine with both of them. Looking forward to what's to come.
@Vickymakesandbuilds 5 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’m so glad you love it and really appreciate all of your support as a subscriber and channel member ❤️ Yes - Bizarre Town does look tough, the more I look at it, the more it scares me just a little 😆 but it does look cool though, and I’m looking forward to it, Sistine Chapel as well 🤩 Working on part 2, hope to pop it up soon 😁

We have a Works up here in the town I live in Scotland too - I’ve seen loads of Corner Piece puzzles, just not been drawn to any of the images so far. I am looking forward to trying it though - I have no idea about the quality and am very curious 😍

How did he get named Grace ? I enjoyed the video.....Happy New Year ....I did a puzzle pick up of a 1,000 pc Springbok. It held together great.
@Vickymakesandbuilds 5 ай бұрын
He he! So I actually explain this in one of my Disney Museum videos - I forget if it’s the first or the second. To summarise, we got him as a kitten - they told us they were about 80% certain he was a female, but apparently it is difficult to tell when they are tiny. We discovered that she was in fact a he, when he went in to get spayed! His name - Grace - just stuck so that’s how it happened 😻 Thank you for watching, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video - and great news on the Springbok pick up - I hear that they are very sturdy, especially the older ones. I have one Springbok in my collection that will be my first one - I can’t wait to try it 😍

Hiya! I do, but I suspect you might have already found it? Anyway, just in case you haven’t the link is in my description - well done on your Disney Orchestra - section A is not easy. The curtains still give me nightmares 😆
