Originally I had planned on posting this while I was in Spain for Worlds, but I had it ready to go, so I figured I might as well post it today. Which puzzles are you most interested in seeing me make videos about?

As I said at the end of the video, next year I’m planning to take a break from the speed puzzling content and get back to the vintage puzzles, which will also include figuring out some new storage solutions now that the collection has outgrown my apartment. Stay tuned to see what I come up with 😅

And stay tuned until next week, because my next video will be all about our team practice weekend and how we’re preparing for Worlds!

Not @ me zooming in on your childhood bookshelf. What a Nancy Drew collection!

[fancydeer]

you're going to have to open a puzzle museum. You can put it next to your dad's anvil museum!

It is absolutely insane how excited I am for more Murder, She Wrote puzzle videos from you

[Aviertje]

One thing you could consider as a special (or even a series) at some point maybe is focusing on people who prefer a digital puzzling experience. Not only do websites exist with different features, but there are also paid games on platforms like Steam (for PC) or google/apple app stores that are all about puzzling. Puzzling video games obviously aren't the hottest thing around so they rarely get attention, but I think it'd be intriguing to get your takes on the strengths and weaknesses of the different digital puzzling experiences. They are a different beast than speed puzzling and physical weird and old puzzles, but it might be a nice change of pace that could even draw in a different demographic to boot.

I really hope you solve the Murder She Wrote ones with your sister, those videos are so much fun. 😊

[krillias]

I can't wait for more Murder, She Wrote puzzle videos from you and your sister! So fun!

I love the 'George Went Swimming...' so much that I googled Joan Mitchell's work. Fun twist that George was her dog ♥️😂

It took me a few tries to get through this entire video without falling asleep, and I’m not saying that as an insult, but as a compliment. Let me explain…

I am a zookeeper who went through a traumatic event getting bit by a 6.5ft snake the other day, and it kind of destroyed my relationship with snakes and has made me very sad. I don’t like being scared of something I do genuinely love, but despite my logical brain saying there’s nothing to be afraid of, that Anne was just hurt and asking for help, my more instinctual side just fills me with terror now when I have to work with any snake. I also haven’t been sleeping well since the bite, because I keep dreaming about being bit.

All of this is to say that I find this channel and its videos incredibly comforting. This video made me feel calm enough to actually sleep for a while without having a bad dream, and I did go back to it so that I could watch all of the cool things Karen got. I really love when people really love things, and this channel is a perfect example of it. It’s so very sweet and wholesome in a way that I find uplifting.

Keep loving puzzles and sharing that love with all of us, Karen, because it brings me incredible amounts of joy.

Edit: forgot to say diamond 🙃

How amazing that you are featured in Highlights! That magazine was my absolute favorite as a kid... the universal "waiting in the doctor's office" reading material. Diamond!

0:58 OK BUT THE COLLECTION OF ‘NANCY DREW’ vintage hardcovers? Let’s forget puzzles for a hot minute lol jk

[sunnyscott]

If you're a world class champion at what you do, then you shouldn't apologize for you collections that got you to that level. 😊 It's your personal passion and something that you love.

[BloodyGir]

I was thinking how no matter the mood I am in it makes me so happy when you upload a video, it never fails, I truly mean it. Been dealing with some tough stuff but your videos are always a big treat :D thanks for sharing your joy about puzzles with the world Karen!

"I don't have enough space". The words every collector knows will come at some point. The words every collector dreads.

[jcortese]

I'm not a diamond painting type, but I often think fondly of the various book nook kits I see out there, and I'm absolutely positive you'd be a great fit with one of those. I'd love to see you give one of them a try. In many ways, they are a kind of 3-d puzzle, and the results are charming.

[yetiyarnworks]

I love puzzle hauls so much! Just love seeing the huge variety that exists (or used to exist) in the world, and listening to someone so passionate talk about them. My favorite videos!

[darkshoxx]

I've been on this channel so long I see 8:07 and say "I bet that's springbok" 😆

[aleciahenderson]

Thank you for giving us a full frame shot of the Magic Eye Illusions Puzzle so we could pause the video and try to see the image for ourselves. It took me awhile, but I finally saw it!! Then I couldn’t unsee it!! 😂❤

[CodeOmega]

I'm so grateful that YOU are the one buying all these puzzles. xD
I only have a few in my collection and have absolutely no room for all of the ones I'd like to see, so it's great that I can enjoy so many vintage puzzle vicariously through you. <3

[cypriennezed]

Between Jane Wooster Scott and Charles Wysocki, there are so many awesome puzzle images that trigger nostalgia 🧩 Diamond😊
