Hope you enjoy the video - sorry about the quality, I forgot to set the phone camera to 4k 😬🙈 Anyway, I absolutely loved the competition and I hope I get to meet even more of you next year!! Also don't forget to watch Donnalouise's video as well (her's is better quality than mine 😂😅): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7R0m8tetbKRmpc.html

Aww 2 sweet humans found a new best friend in each other! 😁☺🧡 🧩

The bloopers part is the top! All need to see till the end 😂 I hope to see you and Donnalouise next year, and we definitely need to have another puzzle night or two 🎉

That's the educa puzzle that Donna is doing just now on the ceiling of the puzzle shop!!!

This is just wonderful thank you for sharing ❤️

That was hilarious! I honestly feel like your bloopers at the end was literally what we were all like the whole time, especially those ridiculously late evenings when we couldn’t stop giggling and ought to have been sleeping! 😂 I am missing you guys so much, I had a wee cry at the station when you guys left for Madrid. This whole trip was truly a magical experience and I am hoping upon hope that I can make it back again next year! 🥰 love you all xx

I cried at the beginning... it looked like the meeting of besties from worlds apart. Seems like the miles that separate you only make the meeting so much more precious. What a treat. Thank you for sharing. Glad you had time to be together and make your friendship all that more of a treasure.

OMG!!!! I love You and DonnaLouise 💕🥰…. and I love Vicky and Jubie.. I’m in The US and I got up every morning at 3:45 am to watch the competition… it was so fun to watch..🥰💕.. I love this Vlog.. I purchased three of the puzzles that was in the competition and they were extremely HARD for me!!!🤦🏾‍♀️🥰

Janette, thank you for putting this together with Donnalouise. So good and fun to know all the great things you all shared during the championship. I was following your team and other teams from the USA, I cheered for you all. I am from Kansas. We puzzled while you guys did, me and my boys and even my husband. I will be watching the championship next year. Your channels have brought me joy and inspiration. Thank you, ladies. You did an amazing job indeed 😊

Ok, I’ve been subscribing to both of your channels for quite a while, and liked you. But now I think I’m in love.😅🥰

Loved this!!!!

Fantastic video Janette and Donnalouise, you talk about Alejandro being humble and down to earth - you two are the same you are extremely likeable people and I wish I was part of your company at such an event in the future……if I ever pluck up the adventure and courage to go to Worlds.

Loved this video and summary! Although I look like a wonky dooda didee in all those bloopers! So much fun filming with you! Miss you all so much. Best trip ever! Bring on 2024! And may everything come out good on the other end

❤😂 looks like you had a great time. 🎉

I watched every minute of the livestreams and hooted and hollered everytime I saw you. You gals all did great! What great entertainment. I'm just a viewer, but danged if I didn't feel proud of you.

You two are a hoot!!! Love the bloopers 😂😂😂

Hi! It was so amazing to be able to meet you both in Valladolid 😊I'm happy you had a great time and that you have so many new puzzle friends! I loved the videos (yours and Donnalouise's 😊). They brought back so many wonderful memories of my own... The event was so much more than I expected it to be. I don't know how it is in Slovenia, but in Poland, it's pretty hard to find somebody who loves puzzles. So, suddenly, being around so many people who have the same hobby as you do, is just incredible. I do hope I'll be able to go to WJPC again in the future. I'd really like to take part in it at least once more 🙂 I also decided to keep an eye on other competitions like that. I'm actually shocked to learn from you that in Spain they have such competitions twice a month. I had no idea... That's like, wow! I wish it was the same in Poland! That'd be cool. Recently, I've heard that Castorland is making speed puzzling competitions once for a while in Poland and also there were some competitions like that in Germany. It would be great to maybe take part in those as well and practice, you know. I have been to Madrid and stayed there for a few days after the competition too. Sadly, I did not go to that awesome puzzle store. Unfortunately (or fortunately 🙈) I didn't know about it... It looks so cool! Anwyay, I had to buy additional luggage to get some of the puzzles from the competition home by plane, so I wouldn't be really able to buy anything. But, I'm glad you did find some new puzzles for yourself; some new brands. I can't wait to see what you picked up, so I'm looking forward to seeing your videos with puzzle brand reviews 😊 I do hope you got yourself one Art and Fable/Enjoy/or Magnolia puzzle... You really need to try matte finished pieces. I wonder what your impressions would be 😉 Marta (from @marta.puzzles)

I was at a retreat this past weekend and we had free time to puzzle! So much fun!!!

I was so excited to see you and hear you commentating on the livestreams! I’m glad you had so much fun!

Hahaha it was hilarious to watch! Your friendship is so lovely to see! Thanks for the behind the scenes footage, it was lovely and interesting

love you two together! you make a great pair. i love seeing what goes on behind the scenes, i will be watching for donnaloiuse’s video too.

🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩🎉🧩i can't wait to hear everything, it's all so puzzling fun time!☺️🧩☺️🧩🛸🧩🦕🧩🦖🧩🛸🧩🎉🧩💜🧩💚💚🧡🧩💚🧡

I loved this video so much! Looks like so much fun and what an experience meeting everyone and puzzling. Something you’ll remember forever. Hopefully I can make it one year, I’m in Australia! X

🤣🤣 yeah for the bloopers!! You captured the experience and the dome so well, I want to be back there!!

I didn’t notice earlier that you had those cute flags on your shirts. Love it! It was nice meeting you all at the event!

That night at the hotel was such a great memory for me as well, glad you convinced me to come over! Great recap, I decided to watch it only when I really started to miss the whole experience and I barely lasted a week 😂.

So happy to see you two so happy! Thanks for sharing the adventure with us!

Ahh! I feel like I want to be there with you guys and just hangout and talk puzzle! Those two vlog videos were superb! I love listening to both of you! What a good time you guys had! Thank you for sharing you experience!

I'm super new to puzzling, but I'm so excited about it. This video makes me want to go to worlds next year. If I can.

Funny that you mentioned the fact of who might be tallest of your team - when I first met you in Spain I was close to commenting on it. 🙂I do not even know what I did expect (probably that you, Janette, were the tallest), but something puzzled me about all of you being approximately the same hight. 🙂 Since I went alone to Spain and since I am a little bit more introverted than Donnaluise and you (but to be honest, who isn't? 🙂) I probably met and talked to less people in total. But there still were a *lot* of people that I met over and over again and where we could continue the small-talk that had started on the first day of competition. And even on the last day of competition I met new puzzle lovers and had extremely satisfying and interesting conversations. Great event! As you said, no problem at all to go there on your own without knowing anybody in advance... Thanks for sharing your "Pairs" story!

This is so cute! Loved it all, especially the bloopers. I love puzzles BUT sadly I’m not a speed puzzler 😔 so I love what you say about going to Valladolid anyway. I speak Spanish, I’m a puzzler, I watch many puzzling KZfaqrs so it would be wonderful to just go and hang out 🤭🧩.

💖🧩

What a heap of fun you two had. So generous that you chose to share this with us. We loved the ‘Puzzle Olympics’ although we suffered jet lag for three or four nights, it was a blast. Onwards and upwards to many more👍😃

Jubie’s hair looks crazy being short 😮 I loved her hair to a 2 tone. One on the front and 1 on each side. I loved her hair style with the one on the front and 1 color on each side. Her hair style of being short reminds of those little troll dolls is fun. I’m very surprised she looks wonderful but the original is shows her fun and jigsaw puzzle trends. You and your friend must had a hard time finding Jubie. Give her my love of her new hairstyle and my joke of her hair looking like a troll doll. Those hair you see are incredibly cute and beautiful. Also let her know having a fun time with her hairstyle making loveable looks. Jubie reminds me Vanna White’s hair being short and blonde from Wheel of Fortune except the loud hair colors. Using Vanna’s hairstyle is from the first time when from turning blocks to touch-screen puzzle board fun. No more turning blocks! Just walking back and forth touching the board. All Vanna does is walk, touch the puzzle board, claps, and smiles. Are you able to wear high-heels for this job, wear make-up, earrings and dresses? What happens when you wear high-heels when you walk? I think you would fall on your face as you have that job😆. One woman told me she would end up at the hospital with those high-heels. Others said they would fall on their face if it is worn. Very few can walk on high-heels😆👠. Have Jubie comment me about high-heels idea. Can you wear high-heels? You did a fantastic job working with Jubie on those jigsaw puzzles!

You too are so amazing and the chemistry you have is like you have known each other for years! I am always excited to see new videos from you both and it was an even better surprise to get double the fun and once! You did amazing at the competition and with the commentating! I can’t want for more about your amazing adventures!

I´m so glad you got to meet each other in person finally. I know EXACTLY what it feels like. It´s happened to me twice. And also to people from Spain. Originally from Puerto Rico. Been talking to people from Spain for years and meeting them in person it´s really strange given the fact that you already know each other and like each other. Yet you have to overcome that "struggle" of the intial interaction as an actual first time. It still feels strange. ...and I hope you´d get to tavel to each other´s country to meet casually as well. And if you´re planning to go the competition each year it would be nice for you to go exploring Spain each year as well. More so since Spain is so well connected an easy to travel around. ...I´m with you, I also don´t like Madrid. No offense against Madrid. I just don´t like capitals in general. Even my own San Juan. Yes, they´re beautiful and they´re places you have to visit at least once but they´re so busy and noisy that they´re not for me. What was your favorite food? I personally LOVE Iberian ham.

Thanks for the fun video… you are just so entertaining together! Just a question … do you think you need speak Spanish if going to competition or could you get by with only knowing English? … just curious of your thoughts.

You know a meeting it's special when 2 grown woman turn into teenagers when together. x'D

What a wonderful video. 👍 Sounds like you all had a great time meeting up with your team in person and fellow puzzlers. For a first visit you all did very well. 👏 Look forward to hearing more about your trip and what you thought about the puzzles that appeared.
