Hi Sharla!
When I try to click on any of the links it is taking me to the same webpage that is not the right thing. I am not sure if it is just my computer. I am excited to use this resource!
Melissa
The links are not working for me. It keeps bringing me to a page that says the domain was recently purchased. I would LOVE to share this page with my new choristers. Is there another way to access the links?
Joni Waldrop
Is this still being worked on? Whenever I click on an idea it just pulls up a blank page. Thank you!
Emily Brown
Thank you! This is amazing and is getting bookmarked right now!
Jan
some of these links do not have “instructions” nor are they a link to instructions. Covered Balloon Pass for instance takes me to a page with only the title, which is not a link.
Please help.

Love love love your book and resources! Some of the videos say “this video is private” like the ones for the Patch Cross Patterns.
How can we access the videos?
Thanks!
