soo i have a new button

i must be in the christmas spirit, because this is what came out when i sat down to design a button.

but it's cute and festive, so i'll keep it until christmas is over and then i'll make a new one.

who knows, there may be a complete blog/shop redesign coming after the new year anyway...

so for now, you can put this cute christmastime button on your sidebar

by copying the HTML in this little box under here [highlight, right click, "copy"]

and then by following this nice little tutorial i made for you :)
