Puzzle #66 - Vermont Christmas Company - Canal Living - 550 pieces

First Vermont Christmas Company puzzle in awhile!  I got burned on that crazy London Promenade one and just didn't even want to try anymore.  But this one is going well.  Very enjoyable.  Reminds me how much I loved these puzzles back in the beginning.  I'm glad.  :)  And I have always loved a David Maclean puzzle.  Vermont Christmas Company has a bunch!  Downsides are that pieces can fit more than one location.  Upside is larger pieces in the 550 piece size so easier to determine where something goes. Took me a bit to figure out that top line but finally readjusted a couple pieces and it fit together.  This is a darker image which could be a bit trickier, but again, at 550 pieces it isn't frustrating.  So happy to be enjoying a Vermont Christmas Company puzzle again!

by David Maclean - Very fun puzzle.  the mountains ended up being the hardest (and last) part - even after all the trees.  But not hard really.  It is all relative.  :)  550 piece puzzles can be just challenging enough, but still a breeze.  No frustration!!  This was darker overall and I do remember that Vermont Christmas Company images aren't as crisp on the pieces, but in this size, none of that matters.  Really fun puzzle.  Probably going to do another VCC - maybe even one of their larger 1000 piece ones.  (I HAVE learned a lot of what to look for in puzzles, even within the same company!  Larger pieces are always better in my book!!!)  NO puzzle dust.
