    3. Hey Margie! I checked your email in our system, and it shows you did request it and were automatically redirected to the download page, though that may not have been clear. If you’ve already signed up for a type of craft, say spring crafts, and then you request another spring craft, it will automatically redirect your browser to the download page instead of sending you an email link. The best way to tell is to look at the page after you’ve entered your email address. If it says, “Download your…” or “Get your…” then you’re on the download page.
