What do you think of all of my new puzzles? Which ones would you most like to see in a video, or which ones would you most want to do yourself? Be sure to open the description for links to all of the puzzles that are available to buy!
Great puzzle haul. If you ever do a Q&A video, it would be really interesting to hear how you decide which puzzles will make for good videos and what goes into that decision.
The vintage puzzle collection is so cool! I'm glad Ned shared them with you... OMG you got the Minions puzzle! Yey!! I look forward to seeing a video of that one. The advent calendar is such a cute idea🎄
I recently moved back in with my parent's to take care of my Dad. He has ALS. Your channel is something my Mom and I can watch together. You have inspired us to start puzzling again. Thank you nice gradient puzzle.
Heads up on vintage puzzles... books made before 1986 often contain lead in the ink so puzzles are highly suspect as well. It doesn't seem like you have children or pets in your home, and I've watched a good few videos over the last year, so at least they won't be impacted. As a general precatuion, because lead poisoning can happen to anyone, it would be good to thoroughly wash the surfaces with a surfactant and wash your hands after doing the vintage puzzles. Especially when doing them on tables that also are used for eating. For high quality information about lead in consumer goods, check out Tamara Rubin's website and she has a documentary on TH-cam as well. Thanks for these fun puzzle videos! I enjoy watching them while I crochet in the evening and just need something interesting yet relaxing.
I love your energy and enthusiasm. I’ve just started trying out jigsaw puzzles as a coping technique for my depression and I had no idea what a huge, exciting world I was stepping into. So many different concepts to try. Depression and self-hatred seem far away as I lose myself in the box and experience the simple satisfaction of fitting one piece to another. My three year old daughter took an interest in jigsaw puzzles even before me, and though of course hers are simpler (maybe 12-24 piece floor puzzles), I look forward to doing some father-daughter projects down the road. Thank you so much for running this channel! Keep it up and I’ll keep watching!
As I was watching the fabulous gift of vintage puzzles...it occurred to me that you should start a Puzzle Museum right next to your dad's anvil museum . the 24,000 piece puzzle should go on the wall in the entryway. Then you could have sections devoted to vintage time periods, styles (solids, gradients, photographic, etc.), 3-D, and specialties (like the mystery and code-breaker puzzles). If you do this...I want free admission !
This is the first video posted since the TH-cam algorithm decided to introduce me to this channel. I've been binge-watching the 24,000 piece saga, the KatiePuzzles videos, and many others. These videos are just so exceptionally well edited. I'm not really into jigsaws, but these videos make watching a puzzle solve entertaining. Just so well done. Also, so many gradient puzzles.
I stopped the video to post on Instagram about that advent calendar encouraging people to get it - so cute! And what a great way to get a sense of calmness and completion during the crazy holiday lead up time.
Me and my 7 year old daughter are great fans of your videos. She sometimes makes me laugh by using your expressions while building a puzzle. And I can't believe how good she is getting at puzzling. She just turned 7 last month and she just finished a 1000 piece puzzle all by herself. Now she has started a 1500 piece one and I am amazed at her puzzling capacity. You are her Biggest inspiration. I just wish I could provide her with more and more puzzles. I wish you can give some drops of your huge collection to her which will definitely take her to cloud nine. Keep puzzling Karen. We love your videos. And for a second you really scared us with "this is my last video" bit. Love you and can't wait for your next one.
I'm looking forward to the new background. I'm excited to see you compare the Krypt puzzles, I imagine the GRADIENT one will be waaaay quicker to finish. I personally love the Wentworth puzzles the most in this video.
I literally paused the video to go purchase the New Yorker advent puzzle calendar and then came back to watch the rest. Thanks for sharing all the new goodies and I can't wait for Dec to do my mini puzzles now. 😁
"Gefrierbeutel", I see Lisa is a fellow German :) Not a Minions fan myself, but I'd love to see you do this puzzle, as well as any of the others 😊 Unfortunately the weekend is almost over, but your vids are always something to look forward to on a Sunday evening!
I'll be on the lookout for one of those close up of the Three Bears Brown puzzles for you!! So many of the gradient and new designs are enjoyable to see. The Avent calendar is a fun twist on the usual holiday puzzles!!
How very “gradient” your collection is! I hope you’ll do a video about the 1930s vintage puzzles you received. And thanks to your puzzle reviews, I know what type of puzzles to get for my sister as she’s a big time puzzler when she’s not working on homework or doing any internships. I hope she’ll enjoy the ravensburger escape puzzles as they’re her birthday gifts this year.
Karen you scared the heck out of me with that surprise. All the gradient puzzles are so pretty. I can not wait to see you take on your new big puzzle the minion one.
Love the new “gradient” puzzles! Love the poppy…so pretty. Hard to choose a favorite within such a great and massive lot! Always enjoy your videos, Karen. 😃 Oh, your tree is beautiful. 🥰
I really appreciate the transparency on the little tag clarifying if you purchased or were gifted something. Thank for letting have somewhere to geek out 😄
Wonderful haul of puzzles! I like the 9000-piece Minions puzzle; can't wait to see you take that on. I also liked the holographic one and the gradient puzzles, especially the Jelly Bean one.
It's been many months since I saw one of your videos, not because I don't like them. I live jigsaw puzzles when I 2as a teenager (I'm almost 62 now). But because of the space or what to do with them after I quit doing them. I love all the puzzles you do, they are beautiful and entertaining. I'm thinking on find one to do in a near future. Gradient
“Gradient” I love the pizza John Pizzamas puzzle. I’m very envious and hope to see you enjoying yourself doing that one sometime. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated 🙂🐿
Oh, I love gradient puzzles! Can't wait to see you do these new ones! I only have one gradient puzzle ( it has bubbles in the design as well, which makes it even easier) and I love it!
I’m really looking forward to the video(s) on the vintage puzzles. Thank you so much for sharing your joy of puzzles and their history. Personally, I’d like to do Cloudberries Wilderness or any of the ‘gradients’. Gradients make you look so smart, though they are so easy to do!
Omg, this video is amazing. The amount of work you put into this.. the editing (so good), the music (on point), the content (so much fun)! That's why I love you and this channel so much 💗 ❤ 💖
GRADIENT This is the most jam-packed video I have ever seen from you!! I would love to see you make a video from your favorite puzzle company this year ( you know which)...but there are many there that I wouldn't mind either!
I also have the pizza john puzzle! I'm super excited to get to it. Gradient puzzles are actually how I got into puzzling as an adult, seeing Karen's videos on them inspired me to try puzzles again.
I just found your channel yesterday, and I'm loving your content! It's not only the puzzling, it's also your very cheery personality. I'm a rank amateur when it comes to jigsaw puzzles, I do little ones of about 500-750 pieces. My nemesis so far is the Jan Van Haasteren "Crowd Pleasers" puzzle, which is 1000 pieces. I'm wondering if you have ever done any of these crazy cartoon puzzles with all the silly faces. For some reason, I didn't think this puzzle would be all that difficult. Boy, did I ever overestimate my skills! Edited to say: GRADIENT! Also, love your new puzzle haul. So jelly of the New Yorker Advent Calendar puzzles!
How can anyone not love this channel????????? LOL. All those puzzles look amazing and the board game, so much fun! I really want to see the vintage puzzles, but keep up reviews of more modern brands so that we can use as reference for selecting puzzles. You will knock those GRADIENT puzzles out in no time!
I am most looking forward to the video about the puzzles from the 1930s. As for which puzzles I would like to try, I think either the advent calendar (a puzzle every single day!) or one of the Puzzle Michele Wilson ones. I enjoy gradient puzzles and Cloudberries, but I have done a lot of those recently and I'd like to try something different.
Oh this is heaven! I like all of them! Honestly I would be so happy to get any one of these puzzles as a gift. I'd love to see the vintage ones in a video because of their historic value, but personally I'll run to our European stores to look for the *gradient* Krypt puzzle, it looks right up my alley!
I think the Goodfit puzzles are my favorite out of your puzzle haul. I really love graphic illustrations like that and they just look so vibrant and unique!! And the fact that Savage Nature looks similar to Gaga's new remix album is the best lil bonus, lol!
I am obsessed with Christmas puzzles so I really like the Tinseltown one and I might need a puzzle Advent Calendar. ❤️🎄🧩 I loved seeing all the beautiful puzzles today. Thank you for sharing the unboxing with us. It’s so much fun to watch. Now I must go order more Christmas puzzles!
I love those little snack-size 100 piece puzzles from New York Puzzle Company! You weren’t even done talking about the Advent Calendar before it was in my cart and on its way to me!
omg those puzzles are all so aesthetically pleasing! especially the gradient ones are gorgeous, but I legit cannot pick a favorite from this entire haul! I recently picked up a few more puzzles myself, I currently have five puzzle boxes functioning as decorative pieces on top of my bookshelf: one 1000 piece puzzle called "Writer's Block" by Steve Read, three Ravensburger escape puzzles (the Wolves one you did, the one with the dragon, and the library one), and one wooden puzzle in the shape of a lynx head. they're all fairly simple images but I'm really excited about them because they're so pretty
Oh my gosh, that New Yorker Advent Calendar hits all the marks for me! Just all around stunning and 24 puzzles! I hope your reorganization/redecoration helps you feel less anxious and more inspired. I very much enjoyed this video and seeing your delighted reactions! I’d love to see a video about the beautiful collection Ned gave you, including the history and your thoughts on the puzzles themselves. Thanks so much and best wishes! (Was it Gradient? Sorry, lost the thought! )
I have the solid red Little Red Riding Hood's Hood. Completed it when it was a teen. Tried again last summer but gave up when it laid on my kitchen counter too long. Love the thickness of older puzzles.
Like those gradient puzzles. Also. I think i found the perfect tape to hold puzzles together: 3m post it tape. I think it uses the same glue that is on post it notes. So it should come off easily with no residue and no pulling the cardboard apart. I think like first layer of tape could be 3m post it tape and then crosshatch it with a more robust tape.
I’m getting the Gradient Krypt puzzle this week :) (I’m in Europe) Also those gradient therapy series puzzles are stunning. Missed the kickstarter unfortunately, but hopefully the ones I want most of those pop up on amazon again one day :) So tempted by that advent calendar to just have to do every year. But it’s definitely pricey and I just splurged haha. I actually bought myself a Christmas puzzle this year. Been binging your videos and noticed again the one you have done year after year and it looked like the perfect Christmas puzzle if you’re only going to have one (and I don’t want a ton of them, just one to do over and over) so I found it on ebay 😊 Happy puzzling! Thank you for all your great content!
I would gladly watch you put together any of the puzzles you previewed 'gradient' or otherwise. Your joy is infectious. I will say your tree and mantle are gorgeous. Whatever you start you give it your all! Didn't Lizzie McGuire take a trip to Europe, and somehow perform a concert? Seems to me Gordo was there too.
I build puzzles by listening to shows I've watched before. This month, I was rewatching "Downton Abbey" and "Inuyasha" episodes while puzzling. Got 12 puzzles done for January. No time to puzzle tomorrow, so I'm done for the month. It was nice celebrating National Puzzle Month that way.
Hi there Karen! I got a bit caught up when ordering puzzles and spent far too much having 5 of them shipped to me in Canada, so that was a hard lesson learned. I ended up forwarding two of them (still sealed in the box) to a senior's lodge because when they arrived I realized that I actually didn't like them as much as I thought. :( I love Cloudberries and ordered one from the UK (again, shipping was astronomical). I chose "Outpost" because it has a mid-century vibe to it, but we'll see how much I love it once I actually sit down and work on it. "Wilderness" has caught my eye and I think I may order it once I have had a chance to do a few more out of the puzzle cupboard. Thankfully, a Canadian puzzle company is going to be carrying Cloudberries, so it won't cost as much to ship and perhaps I can order TWO next time. :) Piecework Puzzles look beautiful and out of the 6 you showed us, I think I would most likely choose "Tinseltown". Have a "gradient" day! (see what I did, there)
idk why but your puzzle haul videos are so interesting to me, so relaxing and fun to see all your new discoveries! (I mean... I know why: because I love puzzles and your channel lmao!)
I love the gradient puzzles but I have never done one! I favorite shown was the pirsmagic one. I wish I had one. Looking forward to what comes next for you!
I found a reference to Gameophiles Unlimited that said the company folded in 1974 and was taken over by Norton and Williams Inc. Couldn't find much on them except they appeared to be based in Westfield NJ. BTW Gameophiles address is just a few buildings away from the Dublin Pub in Morristown. Gradient.
I have spent too much money on several wooden puzzles on kickstarter. Once they show up, they will be my next challenge. I also got some two sided mystery puzzles with amazing artwork.
Oh my god I love the Goodfit Savage Nature puzzle, it's so beautiful. I'm actually thinking about spending like 25$ just for the shipping to my country. Also thank you for reigniting my childhood love for jigsaw puzzles, your videos and the actual puzzling I do now help so much with my mental health. If I hadn't come across your channel, I would've never thought to try jigsaw puzzles again. Again thank you and I hope you have a wonderful winter! PS: Maybe I should try a gradient puzzle as well some time :)
I recently finished the pink Krypt puzzle and I was surprisingly fast (I dont have a lot of training ;-) ). And now that I know your channel and all these beautiful puzzles, I acquired a bunch and already finished three other graphic puzzles.
The piecework puzzles look very fun! The advent calendar also look amazing! I will be looking forward to those on your Instagram! I am looking forward see your video on the minion puzzle!
Oh I love the advent calendar. That is so cool. I wish I could get something like that in Australia. Gilmore Girls is the best. My hubby has never understood why I like it. His like it’s just a show where people try to talk the fastest. Lol. I must say, having a 16 year old daughter now, it turns out life is nothing like Lorelai and Rory. 😂😂😂
I love a haul video from Karen! 😍 This one was so good - the advent calendar, the Puzzledy ones, those Soonness 'GRADIENT's and the 1500 piece Wallflower from Piecework!! But also, don't do that to us Karen 😱 I got such a scare that you were wrapping up your channel! But so excited to see the re-organisation instead, phew!!
What do you think of all of my new puzzles? Which ones would you most like to see in a video, or which ones would you most want to do yourself?
Be sure to open the description for links to all of the puzzles that are available to buy!
vintage puzzles are my favorites! especially the ones before interlocking pieces! i love you & your channel.
I love puzzle I just can't find the Harry Potter ones
Great puzzle haul. If you ever do a Q&A video, it would be really interesting to hear how you decide which puzzles will make for good videos and what goes into that decision.
O already have gradient krypt puzzle by Ravesburger and it was definitely fun to do it! You can look forward to it! :)
Would you be able to do a giveaway for the puzzles you put in donations? Some of those look amazing.
The vintage puzzle collection is so cool! I'm glad Ned shared them with you... OMG you got the Minions puzzle! Yey!! I look forward to seeing a video of that one. The advent calendar is such a cute idea🎄

I do not do puzzles, I have not done one since probably 2000. Karen's authentic excitement makes me happy and takes away my bad mood.
Thank you Karen.
Those puzzles from the 1930s look so interesting!
Yes, I'm really looking forward to seeing them!
Yes, me too. Haven’t seen one since my late grandparents house was sold.
@Tom Rose you are right, She makes me happy
I love the advent puzzle
I want to see them so badly, I have never seen that old puzzles. A review would be great.
Oh my gosh! Best thing to see in my TH-cam feed on a Sunday afternoon, a new Karen Puzzles video!
I stopped the video to post on Instagram about that advent calendar encouraging people to get it - so cute! And what a great way to get a sense of calmness and completion during the crazy holiday lead up time.

I was about 8 when I started doing 1000 piece puzzles by myself, so she’s right on track!
The covers of ‘The New Yorker’ are just fabulous and they come in cute boxes? BRB SCREAMING!
I know!
I love the New Yorker advent puzzles!!! So cute and fun. I can see that being a yearly tradition.
I'm looking forward to the new background. I'm excited to see you compare the Krypt puzzles, I imagine the GRADIENT one will be waaaay quicker to finish. I personally love the Wentworth puzzles the most in this video.
I literally paused the video to go purchase the New Yorker advent puzzle calendar and then came back to watch the rest. Thanks for sharing all the new goodies and I can't wait for Dec to do my mini puzzles now. 😁
"Gefrierbeutel", I see Lisa is a fellow German :)
Not a Minions fan myself, but I'd love to see you do this puzzle, as well as any of the others 😊 Unfortunately the weekend is almost over, but your vids are always something to look forward to on a Sunday evening!
Beautiful!! Ned that was so nice
Oh, what FUN! That would take me 10 years to finish!
I'll be on the lookout for one of those close up of the Three Bears Brown puzzles for you!!
So many of the gradient and new designs are enjoyable to see.
The Avent calendar is a fun twist on the usual holiday puzzles!!
How very “gradient” your collection is! I hope you’ll do a video about the 1930s vintage puzzles you received.
And thanks to your puzzle reviews, I know what type of puzzles to get for my sister as she’s a big time puzzler when she’s not working on homework or doing any internships. I hope she’ll enjoy the ravensburger escape puzzles as they’re her birthday gifts this year.
I'd definitely be interested in vids about the vintage puzzles because the research you present with them is always interesting!
Karen you scared the heck out of me with that surprise. All the gradient puzzles are so pretty. I can not wait to see you take on your new big puzzle the minion one.
I'm looking forward to seeing what those older puzzles are like. Thanks Ned for sharing!
I saw the happiness when you unpacked the Lizzie board game. You are such a cute dork, and I love you for it!
Love the new “gradient” puzzles! Love the poppy…so pretty. Hard to choose a favorite within such a great and massive lot! Always enjoy your videos, Karen. 😃 Oh, your tree is beautiful. 🥰
I bought a puzzle advent calendar this year too, and I'm so excited to start it! (Different one, but that New Yorker one looks awesome)
I really appreciate the transparency on the little tag clarifying if you purchased or were gifted something. Thank for letting have somewhere to geek out 😄
“Who is Lizzie McGuire?” I’M SORRY I BURST OUT LAUGHING 😂
I loved this too! “We are all playing for this to end.” 😂😂
Wonderful haul of puzzles! I like the 9000-piece Minions puzzle; can't wait to see you take that on. I also liked the holographic one and the gradient puzzles, especially the Jelly Bean one.
I love looking up the brands you talk about and discovering new puzzles!

Loved this video! So many delightful puzzles, I’m not sure I could pick just one favourite! All the best for the reorganisation 😌
Can’t wait to see you do the minions puzzle. The gradient puzzles were some of my favorite puzzles to do during lockdown
These all look so fun! ESP the cloudberries and all of the Gradient puzzles!!
I am obsessed with Christmas puzzles so I really like the Tinseltown one and I might need a puzzle Advent Calendar. ❤️🎄🧩 I loved seeing all the beautiful puzzles today. Thank you for sharing the unboxing with us. It’s so much fun to watch. Now I must go order more Christmas puzzles!

Waiting for the 9000 pieces puzzles!:D and can't wait to see you reorganizing your room, I love these kinds of videos
I’m most excited for the 1930s puzzles
Also I looved the clip of you playing with your friends, so funny!
Gradient
Totally agree with your assessment of Gilmore Girls season 3! So excited to find a fellow gilmore fan I commented before getting to the secret word!
I’m still wanting the Minion puzzle so much… love the puzzles and the old one are just awesome
I have the solid red Little Red Riding Hood's Hood. Completed it when it was a teen. Tried again last summer but gave up when it laid on my kitchen counter too long. Love the thickness of older puzzles.
I love the wallflower puzzle!!!
You look so happy with all your puzzles 😭💜 I literally love that there's someone out there who is exactly like me. I wish we could be friends 😭
Beauty Influencers: (Flexing Advent Boxes)
Karen: “Hold my Vintage Covers of ‘The New Yorker’ based puzzle that comes in cute boxes.”
Like those gradient puzzles.
Also. I think i found the perfect tape to hold puzzles together: 3m post it tape. I think it uses the same glue that is on post it notes. So it should come off easily with no residue and no pulling the cardboard apart.
I think like first layer of tape could be 3m post it tape and then crosshatch it with a more robust tape.
From vintage to gradient puzzles you are an inspiration to many. Thank you.
I’m getting the Gradient Krypt puzzle this week :) (I’m in Europe) Also those gradient therapy series puzzles are stunning. Missed the kickstarter unfortunately, but hopefully the ones I want most of those pop up on amazon again one day :)
So tempted by that advent calendar to just have to do every year. But it’s definitely pricey and I just splurged haha.
I actually bought myself a Christmas puzzle this year. Been binging your videos and noticed again the one you have done year after year and it looked like the perfect Christmas puzzle if you’re only going to have one (and I don’t want a ton of them, just one to do over and over) so I found it on ebay 😊
Happy puzzling! Thank you for all your great content!
Ooh I hope you do the vintage puzzles on videos they look so interesting and I’d love to see them made xx
I would gladly watch you put together any of the puzzles you previewed 'gradient' or otherwise.

Whatever you start you give it your all! Didn't Lizzie McGuire take a trip to Europe, and somehow perform a concert? Seems to me Gordo was there too.

Really appreciate the very clear transparency about which puzzles were sent to you and which ones you bought with your own money 👍
I adore New Yorker puzzles. Also, those *gradient* puzzles from Soonness are so prettyyyyy
Hi there Karen! I got a bit caught up when ordering puzzles and spent far too much having 5 of them shipped to me in Canada, so that was a hard lesson learned. I ended up forwarding two of them (still sealed in the box) to a senior's lodge because when they arrived I realized that I actually didn't like them as much as I thought. :(
I love Cloudberries and ordered one from the UK (again, shipping was astronomical). I chose "Outpost" because it has a mid-century vibe to it, but we'll see how much I love it once I actually sit down and work on it. "Wilderness" has caught my eye and I think I may order it once I have had a chance to do a few more out of the puzzle cupboard. Thankfully, a Canadian puzzle company is going to be carrying Cloudberries, so it won't cost as much to ship and perhaps I can order TWO next time. :)
Piecework Puzzles look beautiful and out of the 6 you showed us, I think I would most likely choose "Tinseltown". Have a "gradient" day! (see what I did, there)
idk why but your puzzle haul videos are so interesting to me, so relaxing and fun to see all your new discoveries! (I mean... I know why: because I love puzzles and your channel lmao!)
I just found 2 of the Tru-Art puzzles at an antique store. No pictures at all! I’d be interested in learning more about those.
I love the gradient puzzles but I have never done one! I favorite shown was the pirsmagic one. I wish I had one. Looking forward to what comes next for you!
Whoa I didn't even know they made puzzle advent calendars. That's awesome!
I found a reference to Gameophiles Unlimited that said the company folded in 1974 and was taken over by Norton and Williams Inc. Couldn't find much on them except they appeared to be based in Westfield NJ. BTW Gameophiles address is just a few buildings away from the Dublin Pub in Morristown. Gradient.
Your puzzle videos are awesome!
All the puzzles are beautiful. I love the advent puzzles. Unfortunately I could not find anything similar available in Canada.
It is the New Yorker Advent calendar puzzles from WalMart …$195.00 US
That’s a lot of puzzles 🧩 looks super fun to put them together I enjoyed watching this video 😊 I love doing puzzles on a quiet Sunday
I have spent too much money on several wooden puzzles on kickstarter. Once they show up, they will be my next challenge. I also got some two sided mystery puzzles with amazing artwork.
Oh my god I love the Goodfit Savage Nature puzzle, it's so beautiful. I'm actually thinking about spending like 25$ just for the shipping to my country.
Also thank you for reigniting my childhood love for jigsaw puzzles, your videos and the actual puzzling I do now help so much with my mental health. If I hadn't come across your channel, I would've never thought to try jigsaw puzzles again.
Again thank you and I hope you have a wonderful winter!
PS: Maybe I should try a gradient puzzle as well some time :)
Gradient!
"This is the last video I'm going to be making..." . uhh, for this year?
The NY Advent puzzle is soooo clever! I absolutely love it!
I recently finished the pink Krypt puzzle and I was surprisingly fast (I dont have a lot of training ;-) ). And now that I know your channel and all these beautiful puzzles, I acquired a bunch and already finished three other graphic puzzles.
Thank you for sharing our Gradient Therapy Collection Karen! Hope you enjoy them :)
Omg that gradient krypt puzzle i have to buy!!! 🤣 i love it! I have the black one, but absolutely need this!
I'm excited for the piecework puzzles and vintage puzzles!!
Love the videos Karen keep them coming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The piecework puzzles look very fun! The advent calendar also look amazing! I will be looking forward to those on your Instagram! I am looking forward see your video on the minion puzzle!
I'd love to see you do the 1930 puzzles, plus those are also the ones I'd most like to do. Tfs.
I still have not done Gradient puzzle YET ….. I am looking forward to hopefully doing the Ravensburg Krypt GRADIENT puzzle!!
Oh I love the advent calendar. That is so cool. I wish I could get something like that in Australia. Gilmore Girls is the best. My hubby has never understood why I like it. His like it’s just a show where people try to talk the fastest. Lol. I must say, having a 16 year old daughter now, it turns out life is nothing like Lorelai and Rory. 😂😂😂
OMG!!!!! My inner child is sooooooo happy!!! You’re making my Sunday!!! Thanks!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Also - yay for Gilmore Girls!!! My ultimate, comfort viewing💞
love those new gradient puzzles... you totally got me on that long pause fake out. keep piecing it together! Piece Out! LOL
I love a haul video from Karen! 😍 This one was so good - the advent calendar, the Puzzledy ones, those Soonness 'GRADIENT's and the 1500 piece Wallflower from Piecework!! But also, don't do that to us Karen 😱 I got such a scare that you were wrapping up your channel! But so excited to see the re-organisation instead, phew!!
