The Eeboo Alchemists Cupboard!! Thatbpuzzle is so much fun to put together :D Also really love Eeboo UFO Victorian Ladies, but it is a bit more out there :D
I laughed out loud when you showed that first cat puzzle & said “I’m allergic to cats”. Naturally you have to get rid of those. 😂 1,000 piece puzzles are a bit much for me at this point in time too.
Thank you for this video! It is easy for me to find a puzzle to buy but always difficult for me to let go of one. I hope to see more of Marie Kondoing videos!
I love how you say "thank you for your service" or "thank you and goodbye". I do something similar and it helps me let them go. Have you ever considered selling any or do you just swap them?
Talking to them helps relieve some of the guilt of letting them go! I hope it makes the puzzle feel a little less abandoned haha! I considered selling them, but I don't have time to handle a large volume of shipments. So it's far easier to swap them or give them away locally. A while back, I had some friends sell them on consignment for me, and I was very grateful.
I would be curious about your criteria for keeping a puzzle. I can see why you got rid of many in this pile - but you clearly still liked quite a few, and were only letting go because your collection needs to be whittled down. So I am curious about what criteria allows a puzzle to stay.
That might make a good video, but generally speaking, some I keep because they represent hobbies or interests that I love, some rare ones that were hard to obtain, some because they are mementoes (gifts or autographs), some are for speed training purposes. Outside of that, the vast majority are "puzzles to do" because they're interesting for one reason or another. And I've been steadily trying to use cut down the "to do" pile based on how likely I'll ever choose a particular one to do.
This was fun to watch. I enjoyed your talking about each one. It’s interesting to hear why we select the ones we keep or pass along. One of my collections are the lovely Japanese ladies in kimonos. One I would suggest to keep is the beautiful winter lady in kimono, I have been searching for her for awhile. I hope you will video the rest of your collection that you kept and why you selected them. Happy puzzling!
If you want to buy Winter Majesty, email me at tammy@puzzle.casa with an offer. I'm always happier when things leave me to go to somewhere they are wanted!
Came from Mark Rober's video as I was curious what a person who's into jigsaw puzzles and sudoku did for a living. I was guessing an engineer as I like puzzles too. Not quite as much as you but think any engineer likes problem solving
The perennial problem of what to keep and what to pass on. As I live in a small house I haven't the room to keep large quantities of puzzles. The vast majority of my puzzles get passed on to my local community as I know I won't do them again. I have around 30 or so that I have kept, a few of which relate to my home city.
Some of the puzzles I refuse to give up, are definitely because of personal connections to the subject matter. So it makes sense to me that you have "home city" puzzles!
Would love to see the puzzles that stayed in your collection!
That will take me hours to organize! But it's probably something I should do ... stay tuned!
I would love to see the ones you kept as well!
If the - I’m allergic to cats, so these puzzles can do one - logic is on-brand, then I’m so happy I subscribed!! 😂

Eeboo does have fun images! I love that modern jigsaws have so many different styles!

It's funny how that was my go-to size just 5 years ago. But I have to acknowledge my shifting tastes :)

I will definitely have to do more! But for now I'm going to try and build some of them, so I will have more that I can get rid of :)

I will do more videos on my collection after I spend some quality time building some of them :)

You're indeed correct that I'm an engineer by training! Isn't the work of engineering simply puzzle solving? :)
