  1. Hi María! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. I could easily say that the blog is a labour of love. Concerning the creative process, there is a mixture of plug-ins that I use for the activities, some of them were purchased and I can only use them by going business, which is the reason why I had to place ads on the blog – basically hoping that this would meet the expenditure. Anyway, I’m so happy that you find the activities worthwhile. You made my day!!!!


  3. Hi Ita! Nearly all the activities have the an option button at the end of the activity with the keys although this one didn’t. I’ve just activated it. Thanks for letting me know.
