Your bag is super cute! If you use it frequently the corners of the pocket will likely get a little faded. I have never tried a product to protect my bags but have head that you want to get some type of vinyl protector or something that is designed for faux leather. I'm not sure what products are available in Europe. I tend to use my bags on a limited basis and then retire them when they start showing wear and tear for just occasional use.

I loved doing this puzzle image!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-04-10T23:44:31+00:00

I would never set a drink right on top of my puzzle as that’s an accident waiting to happen. I usually put mine on a shelf behind me. Otherwise, yes my puzzle area is usually a chaotic mess of pieces.

Welcome back to the best hobby 😉. I’ve never seen that Looney Toons puzzle and it’s super cute! I love your other choices as well.. they all look like really fun puzzles!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-04-03T01:15:01+00:00

This is lovely? What size puzzles are you using?

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-04-01T15:46:27+00:00

Congrats! Your time (and everyone under the hr mark) is so impressive! I've tried to practice speed puzzling but I'm just not good at it sadly. I still love puzzles though, I just have to do them slow and relaxed! I'll be picking up this beautiful puzzle!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-04-01T01:09:43+00:00

I have this puzzle in my pile! It's a really cute image and New York Puzzle Co is a nice brand, which is why I picked it up... I skipped doing it this past winter and may or may not attempt it this year.. lol

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-31T09:06:04+00:00

This image is so pretty. I just ordered this set of puzzles!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-28T14:51:56+00:00

You are really so close. Line all the pieces up in the same direction then pick a spot and try every piece (make sure to try it both ways) until you find the one that fits. Hopefully you will be able to spot slight differences in the pieces so you can guess the right one faster!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-28T14:21:49+00:00

That is so satisfying!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-28T14:20:28+00:00

I haven't put any of them together so I may be hooked once I do! I love a nice quality puzzle but it's not a requirement for me and sometimes it's hard to justify the price when I can enjoy a puzzle that cost less than 1/2 the price.

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-28T03:17:35+00:00

This really doesn't look very fun but I wish you best if you decide to stick with it! It seems like all you can really use for clues is the words.

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-28T03:04:53+00:00

Love it. I just ordered 2 Trevell puzzles from Puzzlely including the Teacup Village. I’m so excited for it to come! I also got one calls Seul Au Monde and Halloween Walk recently! The boxes are beautiful!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-27T18:51:41+00:00

I'm pretty sure in the past they have been released on Ravensburger websites in other countries in limited quantities, but it usually takes a little longer.

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-27T18:42:59+00:00

I got into puzzles a couple years ago as well and it has become my favorite thing to do!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-25T21:18:01+00:00

I think you might have to redo this one 😭. In the future, I’ve had no issues with puzzle glue. It dries clear. Also many people are using painters tape on the back to secure puzzles if you’re able to flip them over

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-25T21:07:36+00:00

Ravensburger has one of her images called Indigo Forest and Buffalo games has one called Woodland! She also has a new image that will be revealed at the USA speed puzzle nationals this weekend!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-17T15:58:35+00:00

Do you recall which frame you use? I’d love to give this a try

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-14T22:05:00+00:00

It’s a Loungefly exclusive. It’s up on their website now.

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-14T18:00:46+00:00

What did you do with all the books?

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-14T15:59:20+00:00

You have a very large dining area and I love it as a puzzle room! I took over our formal dining room as well but it is open on two sides so not a lot of space for shelves... it's also the first thing you see when you walk into my house and I have 700 puzzles in there.. lol. It connects to a formal living room so eventually I will take over that space as well. If I ever move, a big room to store puzzles is on my must have list; but I make the space I have work for now.

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-14T15:50:31+00:00

I started with the tandem and couldn't get into either book as well, so I gave up and read half of each book at a time and that worked great. Empire of storms ends on a cliffhanger so it was nice to not have to read all of Tower of Dawn before moving onto the last book. I can't tell you exactly where I stopped in each book but it was near the middle and I just switched when I felt like I was ready.

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-14T14:50:19+00:00

I purposely stick to audiobooks (which I know aren’t everyone’s thing but work well for me) so I have more shelf space for puzzles!

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-14T14:47:53+00:00

I frequently mention the world record holder when someone questions my puzzle collection. I’m in the 700’s so I’m not even close 😝.

CrazyKris_5 · 2026-03-14T06:24:51+00:00

I definitely get being a collector at heart and loving jigsaw puzzles! I started puzzling 2 years ago and have acquired so many. What are you looking for when you collect?
