I completed 180 Puzzle until now. 100, 300, 500 or 1000 pieces.

The most important thing for me in puzzle is that there are no false-fits. I hate it when puzzle pieces tend to fit in more that one place 😡 especially that I love doing art and it's not easy to begin with. My favourite puzzle brand is Enjoy Puzzle. It's absolutely fantastic!

Love your videos Mandy! Looking forward to more in 2024.

Congrats on the 2000 subs and happy new year Mandy!!!

I love your videos! I would love to see a full explanation on what you do with the puzzles you frame. Would love the details cause id love to hang mine! ❤❤❤❤

Love your channel Mandy. I had a great puzzling year. This is the first year I kept track of how many puzzles I did and I’m shocked I did 118 puzzles for a total of 53600 pieces.

Mandy, you have such of fun personality and that personality, your talent for puzzling and sense of humor, make this channel my favorite, you have done great puzzles this year. Challenging, fun and you have moved a lot, new houses from puzzle to puzzle to puzzle 😂it is a treat and a real pleasure to watch your videos. I love puzzles that stay together well, matte, large enough pieces and mostly colorful. You make me laugh with your comments and your puzzle hauls, and discord has been fun to be part of for sure, happy new year 2024 and happy puzzling 🧩❤️😊

My favorite video was the one where you got the new shelf and reorganized! I’m looking forward to seeing you go through your collection again! (Maybe when you do that you can let us know how many sets you have 😉) I’ve completed 51 puzzles so far and hoping to get 52 done before new year. I keep track of all my puzzles with a photo album in my phone. I did my first 1500 as well as my puzzle #50 this year. (Same Disney classics as you!) My two favorite brands would have to be Ravensburger and Buffalo. I love Ravensburger for the “linen” finish and it’s not shiny. I love Buffalo for the price and availability. Looks like you have lots to celebrate and lots to look forward too! 🎉 Happy New Year!

Mandy, you've had such an amazing puzzle year! I've enjoyed watching your videos and I love your sense of humor and Discord! It's been fun getting to know you this year and I look forward to more puzzling with you in 2024! 🎉🎉🧩🧩 Happy New Year! And Happy Puzzling! 🥰🧩

Looking forward to seeing what sets you complete. I love your honest reviews and real comments especially with the haunted mansion puzzle. Made me laugh and felt your pain. I also have that puzzle in my collection. Not sure I want to attempt it. See you in 2024

I would like to see you do a Magnolia 😊

Great video.. Mandy you have came so far in this past year!! Good for you. You should be proud of all you have learned. I read most of the comments and have to agree, your great upbeat personality shines thru ,every video is fun. no I cannot pick a favorite. Well I do like the come thrift with me. I am on the sidelines yelling.. get that one!!!! sometimes you do pick the ones I like. That is one huge reason I love your channel. You like me are budget minded. some channels have huge hauls of new puzzles , hundreds of dollars, I cannot relate nor justify the cost, so I guess those are my favorite kind of videos. I love your enthusiasm for this hobby we share!!!! I have done maybe 75 puzzles this year, I do not have a full time job like you. Thank you again for mentioning me. I am so glad to have introduced you to yet another type of puzzles. and you have shown us different kinds... What kind of video I would like to see, is a helpful hint one, take all the things we mention on Discord and put them in one video. OHHHH I just looked you have hit 2000 subscribers CONGRATULATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! better get working on that 2000 piece puzzle..lol lol another reason to be PROUD!!CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looking forward to another great year thanks for taking me along on your journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mandy, thank you so much for getting me through this year's Christmas season. I only found your channel a week ago when I was sick in bed and my family had to spend Christmas without me, but you cheered me up so much. I absolutely love how you feel about each picture and your stories about your house/lighthouse/random animals etc. What I like most is that you're not one of those speed puzzlers (they always intimidate me) and the great variety in your videos. I'm jealous that we don't have those dollar stores in Germany, but maybe it's for the best :) 40 finished puzzles in a year is a lot! I've only finished 4 since the middle of the year when I rediscovered this hobby... but I already have a stack of 11 new ones. I absolutely love your puzzle haul videos. I'd find it interesting if you could get your hands on brands that are more popular in Europe/Germany besides Ravensburger, like Schmidt, Piatnik, Trefl, Clementoni, Castorland, etc. That way your European viewers can contribute more to the discussion. Maybe you can keep an eye out for them during your flea market / thrift store visits. I enjoy watching your content so much, just missing a few more videos until I've seen them all. Thank you very much and see you in 2024!

I enjoy the puzzle shopping/haul videos. I completed 18 puzzles in 2023, 17,695 pieces, 8 different brands, none of which I'd ever done before. When the year started, I had not completed a puzzle since the 90's. The best part has been puzzling with the lil' puzzler at home. Second best was joining Mandy's Discord puzzling community!

Happy New Year Mandy! You are the first video I watched to open the year. With you I don’t feel alone with my love of puzzles, thank you! Have a great year 🧩

Thanks for the year end review and for all the content, Mandy. It's fun seeing you gain knowledge and experience in puzzling and you-tubing. You are seeming even more poised and comfortable on camera than you did at first. I don't have any specific type of content I dislike but I do particularly like the shopping for puzzles videos.

I highly recommend you do the GRADIENT Krypt puzzle first.

Nice year end recap! You will definitely complete more puzzles next year, it's the nature of the beast!!! LOL I've been puzzling on and off my whole life, getting a puzzle here, picking up a puzzle there, with years in between. However I got back into it in 2017 and it has evolved from a small bookshelf of puzzles to four full bookshelves of puzzles.... I love a good deal as well so the majority have come from thrift stores and sales. I had it all under control until I discovered the puzzle swap. The one in central florida isnt a one to one ratio. It's bring your puzzles to the swap, and then they call bingo style your number. You get to pick what you want from the tables. After the 5th round the tables open up and you can take what you want. Which is why I can bring 10 puzzles to the swap and leave with 15!! I've done over 70 puzzles this year, I dont have a total amount yet since I plan on puzzling today and tomorrow. I like to participate in events that are hosted on line, either on Facebook or KZfaq. Right now I'm participating in both the Winter Olympics on FB and just started the Winter Bingo by The Casual Puzzler. And in the background I'm also doing my virtual world traveling. I rotate between world tours and road trips. Whatever you do for 2024, keep doing you. That's what drew us here to begin with! 😁

Im just like you in terms of goals, Mandy, whatever i can work on will be it. Im starting to wonder if people who do 2, 3, 4 large puzzles a week actually do anything else?! Like omg i can hardly do one puzzle a month 😂 lovely video and hope to be able to do another challenge with you this year! Cheers

love your first impression/review videos for new brands!

My favorite videos of yours are the ones where you allow us to tag along on your puzzle shopping trips. It is fun and I always enjoy seeing what you come home with ! Yes, it would be exciting to see you shop for puzzles in flea markets as well as stores you may not have shopped in previously. You never know what you will find ! I enjoy random-cut puzzles with snug-fitting pieces. However, I can be seduced by an image I just can't live without and will then tolerate grid or ribbon cut as well as looser-fitting puzzle pieces. This year was not my best year for jigsaw puzzles as I had a lot of big projects at work. Of those puzzles I was able to work, I enjoyed Cobble Hill, Spilsbury, Vermont Christmas Co., Bits and Pieces, Galison (I just had to buy most of the Susan Herbert's Galison Meowsterpiece Puzzles as I love her art), and Springbok puzzle brands.

Congrats on the puzzle achievement. I did 94 puzzles with 76,500 pieces in total. Happy new year. Keep puzzling to your hearts content.

Happy new year! I believe you did at least 25 jigsaw puzzles last year as an educated guess. Don’t worry. I tried a 1,000 piece candy jigsaw puzzle by ravensburger. It’s a little too colorful for me. I purchased 3 jigsaw puzzles at a thrift store in Farmington today. One of them is an Americana theme by masterpieces. That has 1,000 pieces. The second is a croxley. That has 500 pieces. It’s a field and cornfield with a red barn. I don’t think it will be too hard for me just as long the cornfields are easy enough for me. The last one is a sea turtle theme. That image is too colorful for me🙃🎨. It looked easy but tough-looking. Why oh why I got it?🤔. I wanted to impress the woman 👩 who worked there. She told me I made her day because I did see her and have some ideas 💡. It was early or too late to get there but I managed the timing ⏱️ anyways. Once again: happy new year 🎊🎆! 2024

There's NOT a Puzzle you Can do, Love Your Talent with your Puzzles, I Have SO MANY Puzzles & Yes There are Ceaco Puzzles, I'm Looking forward for Your Puzzles for 2024. Happy New Year & Keep Puzzling Away!!!!

Pomegranate puzzle brand, is worth checking out also, I found mine at Barnes and Noble. The have alot of puzzles and brands!

I have completed 100 puzzles this year and should be 101 with the current one I am working on. I was quite surprised at the total. I haven't totaled the piece count yet. Thank you for sharing your 2023 puzzle experience, always enjoy your videos!

Happy New Year! Brands I prefer...I like several. I look for quality and image selections. My top faves are Cobblehill, buffalo, and Ravensburger. Ravensburger is my top only because of image selection and piece count. They seem to have the most variety in images and so many piece count sizes. they are the reason why I have ventured into puzzles larger than 2k pieces. most brands with that piece count and higher don't have the images I'm drawn to and would enjoy.

I took apart a Buffalo puzzle recently and I was surprised at how tightly it was holding together. It was almost as strong as a Pintoo set! Those puzzles are very well made.

Holding together is big for cardboard puzzles, sharp images are so important too. Can’t pick just one forever.

Happy New Year Mandy My 2023 puzzles - 121 # of pieces - 67,592

Yes Mandy, time is going faster, even from a cosmological point of view (which I won't go into), plus the older we get, it seems time passes by faster. You have done wonderfully this year as once one gets into a hobby, it's like a whole new world opens up with so many options, which you have discovered. Having a goal is good yet also go with the flow, at the same time. Or as Tony Robbins says it, stay fixed on your goal yet flexible in your approach. Ok, back to your video and for me to do some work myself....admittedly been sort of lazy as of late and I need to get back into things. Have a great New Year and 2024 to you and your family 🙂 My personal favourite brand, although I am much more into the 3D jigsaws would have to be Wrebbit. Being drawn into the image and feeling connected is how I pick the Tarot decks I have bought.....if no connection or not feeling as part of the "story" in the card, I won't buy that deck. That Crypt jigsaw seems absolutely awesome and a mind-bender lol Purchased the twist top 4-sided jewelry pyramid....awaiting to put that together with my Mrs and cos of you, just ordered the Krypto jigsaw as never knew they even existed. Looking forward to putting that one together 🙂 The puzzle i would love to see you with your family put together are the two Hogwarts 3D jigsaws, one has 850 pieces and the other 875, and forgot which one yet it has a connecting piece to "tie" them together. The biggest challenge is, once put together is the space it takes up.....re 3 feet wide, and 20 inches tall.....so pretty big. I still feel you'd have a blast. Apparently average time to put those together is like 30 hours though. Or even the 3D Disney Castle jigsaw I emailed you about. Their costs are quite high compared to a standard 2D jigsaw yet I believe, so worth it.

Puzzle reviews ❤

I'm pretty new to the puzzle scene. Just started about six months ago and had no idea there were so many brands around. Your videos have been a lot of fun to watch in that regard. My personal favorite puzzle brand is Pintoo; the quality, durability, and tactile experience is just hard to beat.

I love the shopping videos, reviews of new brands, when you go into the puzzles, and sagas like the Haunted Mansion 😂. 3D models and stuff are the only ones I usually skip! Love your channel! Happy new year!

Do you have a puzzle wishlist? I would love to see a video where you chat about that!! 🌈

That was a fun video to watch. I still think you could do stand up lol. I am with you all the way on puzzles that fall apart, it seems I spend more time fixing them, than making it. like to see you do a Eurographics puzzle because every piece is the same shape. All the best to you and your family and your editing skills are on par with your puzzling skills.

41 puzzles this year. I tried 2000 pieces for the first time and completed 2. Favourite were the Ravensberger challenge puzzles.

Pintoooooo!!! Good as it gets!

I could live off of just Pintoo puzzles for forever!

🎉

I look for the same things in a puzzle, locks together well and good print quality! I really hate false fits and if a puzzle has a lot of false fits in a solid color area I'll give up 😂 The thing you do where you put yourself into the image and tell the story about it is what made me subscribe to your chanel. There's something so endearing about hearing you say "you know that's my house!" 🥰 I think your shopping videos were my favorite too 😂 I'm a sucker for a good shopping trip! I'm here for all your vids though, ive been bingeing your content ❤

I never do a puzzle where I dont like the image (well with one exception--lol a freebie I got with an orderfrom I believe was Spilsb ury-- I will probably do it maybe next just to get it over with lol)

You are always enthusiastic about your puzzles and give honest opinions of your experience doing them. Finding time to do your puzzles can be a challenge if you have a job and all the housework to fit in. How many have I done this year? I don't actually keep count but I do between 15 and 20 puzzles a month, so 180 to 240 in a year. As a retired person I have time at my disposal, so once the housework is done I can do puzzles. Have you considered trying some abstract images at all? For example Robert Delaunay's Circular Forms or Grafika's Multicoloured Bubbles. I can't remember if you have done any gradient puzzles like Buffalo Plumes of Color of which I did the 300 piece version. Whatever puzzles you do for 2024 I'm sure you will do them with great aplomb and enthusiasm. Look forward to seeing you in 2024.

I’ve done 142 puzzles this year. Most of them 1000.

84 done totalling 81750 pieces, I’m in middle of my final for 2023, a 500 piece, which will make 85, totalling 82250 pieces, fingers crossed! (my first ever 5000 in that count which pushed up the piece count).

I completed 15 puzzles this year

I done 37 puzzle this year

Still working on three, but since July 31 (when I started tracking) I’ve done 73

Mine Disney and animals I love doing

I would love to see the krypt puzzle solve video

2023 I completed 10 puzzles

I have a gradient krypt. If I can find a mailing address for you, I'll gladly send it to you.

I love all your videos so I will watch anything you make in the new year 😂 I completed 76 puzzles this year 🧩 including my first 2000 piece and lots of new brands Happy New Year and happy puzzling
