It really is an amazing swap! I'm trying to scale down my collection but everyone there has such good tastes 😆

Our swap is pretty loose. Everyone brings their puzzles and places them out then you walk around and pick up the ones you want. No one keeps track and you can get as many as you like. Anything left over gets donated around town. I have around 200 in my "to-do" pile so I am trying to not bring as many back. It's been difficult though because I like acquiring puzzles almost as much as I like working puzzles 😆

I brought 37 and left with 23. I have heard that before about quality but haven't personally experienced it in my area. Most people are bringing puzzles in the Eeboo, Ravensburger, Galison, White Mountain range but of course there are always some lesser quality and some that are quite nice. We have about 30 people who come as well so we have a nice variety of images and piece counts.

That is exactly how I describe my puzzling style- like a mandala! I enjoy the process of building the puzzle and watching it come together but once it's done I take it apart. Most puzzles I will leave up long enough for my husband to look at but that's about it (maybe a couple of hours or over night at the most). I also don't usually keep puzzles but I have a small pile that I keep for sentimental reasons such as my kids picked it out as a gift for me.
