  1. Hi. I'm glad you liked one of our images enough to post it, but would you please do me a favor and provide a link to VintageHolidayCrafts.com, as indicated in our terms of use? (See the red note in the post you got the image from or the link in the left sidebar.)

    I know you've linked the image itself from our site, which does create a link, but that also takes bandwidth from our site every time your page loads.

    Thanks and happy Mother's Day. :-)
