Questions and comments
Question: Why is there a discount on an e-transfer?
Answer: There is a cost to using credit cards and paypal. You have to leave my site and trust in sending an etransfer for the savings. For those people who know me, they will feel comfortable with this process as being risk free. Until we meet you may feel more secure using a credit card that can be traced. I just like to offer a discounted price wherever I can.
Comment: The Exploding Sketchbook was like an idea machine! M.
Comment: The Exploding Sketchbook did not have directed instruction which I found somewhat difficult,
but I really liked the ideas that I came up with. I have signed up for the Figuratively Speaking
painting class. S
Comment: Learning how to paint expressive faces was just what I was looking for. I want to try this on my own now. S
Comment: Paypal kept shutting down, but I persevered and was able to pay. D
Answer: Thankyou for letting me know. I am looking into switching the server. Hopefully no one else faces this challenge.
