beyondwords

My name is Patsy. I've been addicted to jigsaw puzzles since childhood. Now they're all online, and my addiction is stronger than ever thanks to this wonderful site. I'm amazed at the huge collection of puzzles here to choose from. And the way the whole site works. Thank you everybody.

I used to prefer puzzles with 400+ pieces, but have learned to enjoy medium and small puzzles too (partly because I can do more of them). And I even did tiny puzzles on my new smartphone while in the hospital last year.

I don't like lots of detail. I prefer puzzles with several large sections or areas, or a close-up on a contrasting background, so I can sort pieces. Then I work a lot by shape. I like animals (especially cats, butterflies, birds, bees, spiders) and flowers, but sometimes enjoy others. Recently I've added sunsets and tree roots to my list of favourites. (I love looking at the geometric/abstract designs and some scenery and crafts, but only rarely choose to actually do those puzzles.) I do both new and old puzzles, and have enough puzzles bookmarked for several more lifetimes!

I joined Jigidi on 22 October 2017 and was last seen on 12 May 2021. I've solved 5644 puzzles (4.4 daily) and put together 783952 pieces (604.3 daily)
