    I’m a Pisces. The biggest puzzle I’ve done is the 1000 piece SPAM jigsaw puzzle by Aquarius. It was a nightmare. It was me, my mom, my dad, my mom’s brother my uncle, and I think his wife my aunt possibly? We started it and since he lives on the other side of the US then us they left and over the course of like 3 years we ended up finally finishing it after we had started the puzzle then lost the final puzzle piece then found it but then had to wait a long time after we had placed stuff of top of the board that we were using. The board was more of a case that when you open it up, it opens up like a book and keeps the puzzle from moving a lot but had another puzzle on it that would make a massive mess if you just opened it up and we were too lazy to move it for a year and a half before moving it. Unfortunately the missing piece had been in the sunlight for so long it was no longer that same color as the rest of the pieces around it so technically we finished but it doesn’t look like we did. 😅

    Inspired by Karen's love for puzzling, I completed my first (!) puzzle last December, it was Ravensburger's The Map of the Universe - and while it had only 1500 pieces, it's design is kind of similar with this Astrology one with the circles and... the space theme :D In pictures The Map of the Universe looks all black but when you look at the pieces close enough, there's so many little details, it's such a cool puzzle! Anyway, I got a bit too excited with my newfound love for puzzling and asked for this sailboat puzzle as a christmas gift from my parents. However, that sailboat puzzle is almost all blue with lots of sky and sea pieces with no details, and... now, almost half a year later, I'm still working on it. At least on some days :D I'm an Aries, so some might say my sign's excitableness got the best of me...

    Maybe an ergonomic seat and back cushion would help your back. I know they're not cute, but your health is more important! Even though you lean forward and move around a lot while puzzling, I think cushions would still be a good investment. Also a thirty minute timer to remind yourself to stretch regularly (before you're in pain). I remember the video of the original puzzle! It's wild to me that you're doing it again when there are so many other puzzles waiting to be solved! I mean, I get it, but what a big commitment! Looking forward to following your progress!

    I'm so excited to see you work on this puzzle again! Seeing those unorganized piles of boxes full of puzzle pieces from back then gave me anxiety, looking for specific pieces must have been so frustrating and time-consuming - but I guess young-Karen found it extra challenging :D Was it your very first puzzle of that scale?

    As someone who has brought my own products to market, I'd be interested in a more detailed video of how your collaboration with Ravensburger came to fruition, the design process (I did see some of your coverage of that), and how does the financial side work out? I think a whole video describing the process from inception to completion would be very interesting to those of us that found your channel through an anvil video. . . hahaha.😊

    What I would love to know is what you do while you are working on the puzzle? Do you have a TV show in the background, do you listen to audio books? Maybe a friend is keeping you company? Or maybe you are just deeply focused on the puzzle itself 😅
