Oooops! :)

One dear reader of my blog has let me know that my QP freebie for The Traveler was asking for a password – ugh. I didn’t intend for it to have a password, so I am sorry for anyone who ran into this problem. It is fixed now (hopefully!), and should be easily downloaded. Thanks, Heidi, for the heads up!! :D

Here is the link again, for your convenience:
