Hey guys,
Just a reminder that there's no video this weekend! I did manage to get the Disney 1K puzzle finished for the next video, but I'm pretty sure I won't have a video ready for next weekend. I've been feeling like absolute garbage with the changes in my health/diet this past week, but today seems to have finally taken a small turn. Hopefully that means I'm on my way to getting past the rough stuff, but we shall see! Not sure if I'll be able to catch up on a weeks worth of "to-do" stuff, but I'll of course keep you posted. 
SNEAK PEEK: Now that the Ravensburger Disney 1K puzzle is complete, I'm on to the 750 count Ravensburger.  This will be my first time working on their larger piece size, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it compares with their other counts. I must say though, I was surprised by my experience with the 1K I just finished. It seemed a lot different compared to my other 1K Ravensburgers. 
But anyways, I need to try to catch up with everything I let get past from me this week.  Hope you're having a fantastic weekend and the weather is getting nicer in your area. Take care and I'll see you in the next one!

Hey guys!
Next video will be out this Sunday (4/13), which will feature my experience with puzzles from PieceRelax. This was a collaboration video, so I had quite a few different puzzles to complete. Hope you all enjoy the video!
SNEAK PEEK: So yesterday, I sorted the next puzzle in my pile, which is a 1K count Disney Ravensburger. I feel like it's been quite a while since my last Disney puzzle, I almost think my last one was the 3K LOL. I can't quite remember at the minute, but that's ok. It's nice to be working on a Disney again. But anyway, I've had a few days of no computer work at home since I finished editing the video for this weekend, so that was a nice little break. I might take a few more days of no computer and just focus on puzzling just so that I can keep my eyes/brain from frying in front of a screen. I already spend enough hours of computer time at work πŸ˜…
But now I feel like if I keep typing, I'll just continue rambling nonsense 🀣 Hope you all are having an amazing week so far! Take care and I'll see you in the next one!

Hey guys!
Unfortunately, next video will not be ready for this weekend. I had grand plans for this past week in terms of filming and editing, and it all went out the window πŸ˜… This next video, which will feature PieceRelax puzzles, will be ready by next weekend. 
SNEAK PEAK: I did complete and transfer all the time lapse videos for the PieceRelax puzzles over a week ago, so I am ready to take on the next two in my pile. I'm hoping to at least get into one of the two Ravensburger puzzles that will be featured in the following video today, but we'll see. I have a ton of editing to get through today with it being my day off, but I also have a lot of house cleaning to catch up. Again, we shall see! 
This past week has been such a roller coaster for me, both physically and mentally, with both work and home life. I was going to push myself to get the video ready for this weekend, but I knew it would be best to let myself take a step back and go easy on myself. Sometimes, I have to sit down, and remind myself that I'm not a machine and that I have to take care of me first. I know that if I'm not well, well then, nothing will ever get done. Speaking of not being well, I do have planned a big change coming for me in the next week and a bit, in regards to health, so hopefully it doesn't mess me up for too long. 🀞Wish me luck! 
But anyways, I must get a move on with the house chores so that I can finally get to editing! Hope all is well, and I'll see you in the next one!

Hey guys!
No video this weekend. I'm honestly not sure if I'll get the next video ready in time for next weekend, but we'll see. I've got a lot going on this week so I'll keep you posted later on this coming week with an update.
SNEAK PEEK: I've been working on my puzzles from PieceRelax, and hoping to be done with most of the filming today. Hopefully I'll get to film the last clip on Monday, but that'll depend what time I get home from work that evening. I'm planning to work on a couple of Ravensburger puzzles next. I'm excited as one of them is a Disney image! 
But anyways, I need to get a move on as I have a lot of house work to get done today. Hope you had a great week, and I'll see you in the next one!

Hey guys!
So my day today took a very different turn, and I was not able to get done what I needed. I still have to film the last clip and finish editing my next video, but I'm still aiming to get it posted by Sunday (3/23). I'm keeping my fingers crossed, as I really want to try to stay on schedule.  Honestly, it's not too much that needs to get done at this point, so it's not impossible.  We shall see!
But anyways, it's late again and I need to get the rest of my nightly stuff done before bed. Hope all is well and I'll see you in the next one!

My goodness, the days just continue to fly by! No video this weekend, but now that I think about, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the next video done in time for next weekend. We shall see! It's been such a busy week with friends/family events this weekend, so not enough free time and energy to get puzzling and editing done. But that's ok. Hoping to get a move on this coming week and catch up.  I did finish the 500 count puzzle that I picked up during my last Barnes & Nobles haul from Hygge/Playview Puzzles. I'm also planning to get the PieceRelax puzzles done next, as I'm super interested to see how those journals turn out. Hopefully they don't take me too long to complete. 
But anyways, it's super late and I need to get to bed soon for work in the morning. Hope you're having a fantastic week, and I'll see you in the next one!

Hey guys! 
Next video will be out this Sunday (3/8). I spent some time doing some reorganizing, going through some new puzzles that have made it into my collection, reviewing a new puzzle frame, and revealing the puzzle for my 4K count puzzle challenge! Hope you enjoy spending some time with me in my puzzle room!
SNEAK PEEK: Well...I still haven't started my next puzzle πŸ˜…. But that's ok. It's been another hectic week, but I'm hoping to at least get the puzzle sorted tomorrow. It's only a 500 count, so it shouldn't take me too long. I have a goal to have the puzzle completely finished by Sunday, but we'll see LOL. After that, I plan to work on some of the puzzles that you'll see in this next video, but I won't spoil too much.
But anyways, hope you're all doing great! Take care and I'll see you in the next one!

Hey guys!
It's very late at night, and I probably should be in bed, but just wanted to leave a reminder that there's no video this weekend. Of course, my week didn't go as planned between work and sickness running about the household, so I didn't get a chance to open up my next puzzle. 
SNEAK PEEK: But I did start editing my next video, which will not be a puzzle review, but just a hang out at home while I organize my puzzle room, put together a new puzzle frame that was sent to me from MicePlay, and go over some new puzzles that suddenly appeared in my collection πŸ€”. Now, I thought I filmed all that I needed for this video, but I got a couple more packages in the mail that I feel like I should also film and include. One of them being the big reveal for my next biggest challenge...THE 4K COUNT PUZZLE!!! Hopefully I'll get extra time to film this coming week, but we'll see. And if you've been following my 4K puzzle dream/dilemma, then I'm sure you'll see in the picture below that I am now able to sleep better at nights. 
With that, I bid you goodnight, hope you have a great week, and I'll see you in the next one!

Hey guys!
So it's 11pm, and I've just finished editing and uploading my next video for this weekend, which will be posted this Sunday (2/23). I will be sharing my experience with my first puzzle from the Art & Fable Puzzle Company. Like every "new to me" puzzle", this was a very interesting experience. Did I think it followed through with all those claims on the box. You shall see!
But anyways, it's super late, I'm super tired, and I'm going to head to bed! Hope you've all had a fantastic week, and I'll see you in the next one.

Hey guys,
No video this week, but I've been working on my next puzzle, which is the Art & Fable puzzle that I picked up during my most recent Barnes & Noble trip. I'm really hoping to get this video out on time for next weekend, but we'll see. This image has been more challenging than expected, so it's taking me longer to complete. But that's ok 🧩 If anything changes with scheduling, I'll keep you posted. I also filmed part of another video featuring a collab with MicePlay for one of their newest items. I'm struggling trying to find time to film more content for that video, as work has been extremely busy. Thankfully I have a day at home tomorrow, so hoping I can get more filming and puzzling time. We'll see!
But anyways, it's late and I need to get a move on with other house stuff. Hope you've all had a great week and I'll see you in the next one!
