This weekend was officially twelfth night, which is the day when you take down the Christmas decorations and wave goodbye to Christmas for another year. So, the decorations and the cards go away, which is where I thank all those bloggers who sent me cards (in no particular order):
Thanks guys!
I also sent out cards to various people. If you recieved one you’ll know what you got free…
Yes! Badges! I thought it’d be a little bit of fun and a little gift to people. It’s not my fault that they’ve become more popular than Buzz Lightyear playing on a Wii this Christmas.
Luckily, I still have a few spare (and can order more in too, so if it does go crazy I can introduce new designs and the like), so if you want one, here’s what you have to do:
Purchase a Link in my Topspots
You notice that on the sidebar there is a list of “Scratchbackers” - a way of “Tipping” bloggers. I thought I’d give it a go to push the badges. You will get both designs of the badge for $5. I know it’s a little expensive, but it’s to cover postage and packing costs (as well as letting scratchback and paypal take their cut).
When that’s done, make sure you email me your postal address to send you the badges. I promise I won’t stalk you!
On top of that, you also get a link in my Topspots, now - to appease google, the links are nofollow, so how do you get a dofollow link?
Post On Your Blog Wearing The Badges
Yes! If you post a picture of yourself wearing the badges, on your blog, you’ll get a mention in my “end of the month” post as a way to say thanks, whatever you want your link text to be, just make sure I know about it :).
You may get two links, if you’re attractive ;).
As I said, it’s a bit of fun, and it could succeed, it could fail. We shall see!

I’m a hot and lovely girlie swede. I should get one for free!
Heh, I bought the card and the stamps to send you a chrissy card, but got tied up with work and completely forgot about it until about 3 days AFTER christmas.
Ah well…
I was totally shit this Christmas. I wrote out all my Christams cards and then just forgot to buy stamps for them until it was too late. It was the busiest Christmas ever and I spent 90% of december drunk on free champagne.
I’m rubbish..I think I sent 3 Christmas cards this year, and those were handed over in person. I just gave up on the whole idea of cards because all the ones in shops this year where a big pile of shit.
When I went home I found a drawer filled with Christmas cards I had written out from previous years and not sent out so I think it’s a reoccurring theme with me.
I didn’t give out any cards this year! I’m so bad, I had brilliant plans I had 40 cards and the box remains unopened. Their awesome cards too. I’m gonna use em next year!
Christmas cards are really bad for the environment but I do send no more then 5 every year to the nearest and dearest.
Don’t trust supermarkets to recycle your cards though, I saw a massive clear plastic bag (that we order in they are that big - very good for students, as you don’t have to go to the bin everyday) full of Christmas cards ready for the skip. I was applaud.
Hehe, nice one Rhys, cool badges.
Never heard about the Christmas tree having to come down on the twelfth night. Mine normally stays up till Easter… Keeping it festive!
the badges are so cute. thank you again for mine : ) x x
Those pins do look nice! I did give out cards to various people just for who they are and what they’ve done.
Hey you guys!
I got mine. You’ll have to get your own!
