Hi everyone!
My name is Filipa and I have been doing puzzles since I was born  So that will be 30 years by now
I like all kinds of puzzles =D 2D, 3D, landscapes, cartoons, etc but mordillo puzzles are my favourite!
The biggest puzzle I have and have done is 8000 pieces  I had to use the floor of my living room because I live in a small flat, so nobody could visit me at the time... eh eh
Unfortunatelly I live in Portugal and I cannot easily participate in your competitions.
Do you know of any other competitions worldwide?
Thanks a lot and keep puzzling!
Best regards from Lisbon,

Hi Filipa, welcome to the forum, your English is excellent, it puts us Brits to shame! How long did it take to do an 8000 puzzle? I'm just about to start a 3000 puzzle and think it's gonna take me aaaages!!! Regards, Derek.

Hi Derek,
thanks for your message
I don't know how long I took because in between I was not living in Portugal and had to suspend the puzzle making but I believe around 6 months (not everyday of course). But really my biggest problem was space for the puzzle and for the pieces. I like to have all the pieces turned up and visible and with this puzzle in my flat it was impossible!
I have 2 with 3000 pieces and they are great to do  Good luck what is on the picture?
Best regards,
Filipa
