Hello Martha,
Many of the smaller sites do not have credit cards on the site. That is an
expensive set up for a business on the web. Secure lines, percentages,
fees, etc. Mine has been check or money order only and the order form
printed out and sent to me in the past. This year I will have both options.
Congratulations on the Ramsey Road to happiness. We cut up our credit
cards to celebrate the new year.
