Well, it's been a long year this year and Christmas is fast approaching! My Etsy sales have slowed right down and of course I can no longer guarantee Christmas delivery anywhere! We can't expect those poor reindeer to run around so much when the big day is so close now can we! ;)
Instead I'm here to say a massive thank you to everyone who has bought from me this year.
Without you I would not be able to do what I do and Silly Badger Designs would cease to exist. I love my business and I love my little shop, I throw all I am in to everything I do with it and I am so completely besotted with it and beyond proud.
I never imagined my first year being so wonderful and filled with so much positivity!
And you, my followers, likers and customers have made that happen for me. There's a little quote that floats around online fairly often that goes something like this...
When you buy from a small business an actual person does a little happy dance.
I can quite honestly say that this is so very true, I have danced more this year than i have in my entire life! My partner always knows when I've made a sale or something awesome has happened because I will squeak before bouncing around joyfully... apparantly silly badger should actually be bouncing badger!
But in all seriousness.
Thank you to everybody who has supported me this year and shown me love, to the customers who have bought my items, to the strangers who've liked my work and followed me further, to the good friends I've made since starting my business.
Thank you to every single one of you.
You may have noticed that I'm actually struggling to put these incredible feelings in to words... I just feel so much happiness and warmth from everything you've given me in the past year.
I've had a rather rubbish December here, I felt so depressed and horrible but you guys kept me focussed on something I have complete control over. It's made me realise how much I adore my work and my business.
SO I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I wish you joy and laughter and so much love! I wish you every happiness in the New Year and I thank you for your support.
