Hi Carol, thank you so much for the thought about supporting me with a donation.
I used to use PayPal for everything but I ran into a problem and then heard awful stories from others that I’ve switched almost entirely to Stripe, a company I trust with our financial details. Stripe does not retain your credit card details unless you are part of a recurring payment plan.
I haven’t looked into ApplePay – I’m not sure how it would work on a blog post. I will see if that’s a possibility.

I never post my cc . Please consider using PayPal, Apple Pay and some additional methods that put an additional means of safety .
It’s also easier for the donor as many of us don’t have our cc number memorized.

Thank you for posting this Gail I’ve been itching to try this since your thumbnail webinar. Thank you for unpacking it with so many examples.
And oh to pick a favourite favourite from them near Impossible, black hats…(snap…love it)
Checks ans stripes (I love how dwarfed the viewer is by the ginormous painting and her knock-kneed pose making her seem vulnerable and a bit quirky)
(The warmth in) Welcome
Last walk (the glow from backlighting)

Once again inspired
