Hello there Anonymous! I Too had the same issues. The problem is just that we were both clicking on the wrong links! The link to google drive printables, are NOT within the word "here" or in ANY of the words on That Line: they are contained in each of the printable file names on the line BELOW …. the darker black Cal..words. Hope that helps! 😀 Thanks Ana your prints are amazing as is your blog always! Happy Haunting!
