Nice to see you Janette, I think the key to your puzzling success with the geometric tiger image is due to your years of not looking at the image when you puzzle. You are following the shapes. And I find it interesting because the time you spent staring at a picture is time you can use to place a piece. I own the Aimee Stewart “Purrfect peace” puzzle and the 550 piece Crossword puzzle too. If you watch Ric’s Nifty puzzles, from New Zealand, he did it on his channel. It is fun to put together, many of his followers helped him with some of the answers😊
I really like Rics channel, he takes so much time for every puzzle piece and focusses on every small detail, plus he always gives lots of background information about the puzzle, its a very informative and enjoyable channel! I participated in both the botyp and Rics 'am i the slowest puzzler on earth' contest haha, his channel has a very different, slower, approach to puzzling.🙂
Yes, you're right! I didn't think of that, but looking at the picture takes the time away from puzzling, especially when it's difficult to find the piece you're looking for 😅 Thanks for the info on Ric's channel - I have seen some of his videos, but have missed the one with the crossword puzzle. I'm intrigued to go check it, but I don't wanna spoil it for myself in case it's the exact same one. I love the idea of subscribers helping with the crossword 🤩 And yes Nina, I agree that it's a channel with completely different approach to puzzling and that's the beauty of it - we all love puzzles in a different way 😍
Oh yeah!! I forgot that you still owe me money! I’ll send out the bailiffs right now!! 😂😂 kidding, lol. Don’t worry about it. Loved seeing you again and puzzling together Janette - so glad you had a great time and I’m sorry you’ve not been feeling great ❤
OMG I can't believe I said it in the video but still didn't do it 😂😅 I don't have access to my online banking as I don't have my card on me (my friend forgot to bring it to me when I was in London 🤣), so I need to get my bank details in order to be able to log into my account. I'll sort it out though!! Loved seeing you too!! 🤩🤩 I'm all good now, so it's all in the past haha 😂
Oh, that puzzle was way too busy! Good for you for your 7th place. Loved the puzzle haul -- especially that 300-piece Ravensburger. I agree the 300-piece puzzles are the best way to relax and still enjoy puzzling.
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking the puzzle was too busy!! 😅 And thank you! 🤗 Yes, absolutely! 300 pieces is the perfect balance between puzzling and relaxation! 🤩👌🏻
I have a Samurai SUDOKU jigsaw puzzle that I've already solved. It's another version to the crossword you have. A challenger puzzle, is what they were called on Amazon, a jigsaw puzzle of another kind of puzzle. I love SUDOKU, and Samurai are my favorite type to do.💜👍
Glad you had a good time, even if you found it a bit cold. With the competition I got the impression, from what you were saying, that the organisers weren't very well organised with getting finishing times? I can appreciate you finding the jigsaw difficult. It's one I did recently and I found it tricky to do. Of the puzzles you listed I have done 2, 4, 5 & 8. Cream Teas and Queueing is very British! I don't know why you mentioned your eye. Whatever was wrong with it was not obvious at all. Look forward to your next video.
I had a great time! It's still England at the end of the day 🤩 Yes, the competition wasn't very well organised, or maybe it's better to say that it felt more like a friendly puzzle along as opposed to an actual competition 😅 And yes, I definitely found this puzzle difficult, so well done for doing it by yourself! 👏🏻 You've done many puzzles from my list! I hope you enjoyed them 🤗 And the reason why I mentioned my eye is because it was so red. I think the colour grading made it less obvious, but I got really ill and had an eye infection to go with it. My vision is still blurry when my eye gets tired, but it's getting better every day! 😁👌🏻 Thank you! 🥰
Hi Janette, I am glad to see that you feel better! The shape of the indentation of the «beast» (hahaha) is quite particular, I assume it is a new cut. Pieces & Peace puzzles are just fabulous!
Thank you Andrea! 🤗 You think Ravensburger has a new cut? I heard that they change it every so often 🤔 I agree about Pieces & Peace - I absolutely love this puzzle! 😍
The 300 piece Ravensburger macaron puzzle is not easy AT ALL! Pro tip: The pink one in the foreground is not resting on a spoon... it's more like a fork with three prongs... I spent A LOT of time trying to get the "spoon" together... 😀
Hahahah thanks for the warning!!! 😅 It happened to me before, when I was doing a puzzle without the picture where I was accidentally puzzling upside down and didn't clock that. Took me forever to figure it out, after countless attempts of finding the right pieces 😬
I'm so happy to hear that! I thought I was weird for finding it that cold 😂😅 And yes of course I enjoyed it! It's difficult not to enjoy being there! Especially after living there for 7 years 😍
Morocco Hotel puzzle is absolutely stunning! 🤩 And yes, the competition puzzle was quite difficult for my opinion, but some people enjoy busy puzzles 😅 It was funny when a friend at the competition said: I love how detailed the puzzle is - just goes to show the difference, because I just saw how busy it was 😂🙈
Thanks for the heads up! I guess the pieces with the blank squares would make it quite difficult to place, but I'm hoping that there will be many pieces with numbers on them 😂🙈 And 1000 pieces would make it fairly more difficult, so I'm glad mine is only 550! 😅
They usually don't make the exact amount of pieces written on the box, because it's difficult to get to the round numbers. 1000 is usually 1008 or some have even more. It's the approximate number 😅
Hahahaha yeah well it's not completely unlimited, I'd still have to fit Donnalouise in the car 🤣🤣 I'm borrowing my dad's car and he has a station wagon 😁🙌🏻
I have a feeling you will be strapping me to the roof of the car if necessary to make more room for puzzles! 🤣
Hahaha I love how positive you are about that. I was thinking more on the lines of just leaving you in Spain 🤣🤣
@@janetteandherpuzzles Proof just how mean JigJig is to me!!! 😭😭
You guys are hilarious 😂 talking to each other!!!
@@bettyc.6280 And you can see just how mean she is to me! And all I do is love her! Hehehehe 😁😁

You’re going to come back with a lot of puzzles driving there 😆
Oh yeah... I'm actually a bit worried about that 😂😅

Just to confirm, even for England, it has been colder (and wetter) than usual here this year! Glad you enjoyed your trip in spite of the weather.
I'm so happy to hear that! I thought I was weird for finding it that cold 😂😅 And yes of course I enjoyed it! It's difficult not to enjoy being there! Especially after living there for 7 years 😍
Love the colors of that Morocco Hotel puzzle! The competition puzzle seemed pretty complicated. I'm not the biggest fan of busy images either.
Morocco Hotel puzzle is absolutely stunning! 🤩 And yes, the competition puzzle was quite difficult for my opinion, but some people enjoy busy puzzles 😅 It was funny when a friend at the competition said: I love how detailed the puzzle is - just goes to show the difference, because I just saw how busy it was 😂🙈
Purrfect piece is a lot of fun! There’s a similar puzzle by same artist by Buffalo Games 2000 piece called Happy Vibes that I love!
OMG! This puzzle is absolutely stunning!! 😍 I need to see if I can get a version of it in Slovenia 😁
I did a Crossword Puzzle Jigsaw, and it was harder than it seemed like it should. I don't remember the piece count, but I think it was 1000.
Thanks for the heads up! I guess the pieces with the blank squares would make it quite difficult to place, but I'm hoping that there will be many pieces with numbers on them 😂🙈 And 1000 pieces would make it fairly more difficult, so I'm glad mine is only 550! 😅
What do you mean with its never 1000 pieces? I thought they were always the same amount of pieces that says on the box.
They usually don't make the exact amount of pieces written on the box, because it's difficult to get to the round numbers. 1000 is usually 1008 or some have even more. It's the approximate number 😅
I love that you said you'll have unlimited space to bring back puzzles from Spain. How big is your car? 😛😂🧩💜
Hahahaha yeah well it's not completely unlimited, I'd still have to fit Donnalouise in the car 🤣🤣 I'm borrowing my dad's car and he has a station wagon 😁🙌🏻
I hope we get a road trip video! 😂
