This puzzle was sweet, in every sense of the word. The Heritage puzzles are always sturdy and of high quality. I’m a Mark Frost fan, and this puzzle reminded me of his style. What could be better than a forest of decorated Christmas Tree cookies?!?! I doubt I’ll wait for the winter holidays to make this beauty, again!
