Patreon!

I finally did it, folks! I created a Patreon Creator Account!

I'm still learning how it all works, so I think for now, I'll be posting the links to the videos I publish, and the images I make for the Quote of the Day.

Other than that, we can decide together, with your input, what extra kinds of things you'd like to see from me on Patreon.

Check it out at https://patreon.com/VickiBowers - see you there!

All the Best,

Vicki Bowers
