...............
thanks so very much for all of your fantastic nominations in the 2010 Handmade Olympics. what a wonderful celebration of handmade!
without further ado, i'm thrilled to present our judges' shortlist for event #8!
........
thanks so much to our fabulous judge for this event, the wonderful tara gentile, editor of the inspiring scoutiegirl blog!
what our judge had to say about the nominations: When I land on a new blog, first impressions are key. A clean layout, pretty features, and an emphasis on content over clutter are what I'm looking for. I love a blog with a unique perspective. I adore a blogger that is confident in their style, is consistent in their point-of-view, and shares their personal passion - whether in real life stories, friendly writing, or fabulous finds. Finally, I think a great blog inspires you to create more. If you're a crafter, they inspire you to craft - if you're a photographer, they inspire to find the next great image - if you're a blogger yourself, they inspire you to blog your heart out!
The blogs I chose for the short list, in my opinion, epitomize these criteria. They're lovely, inspiring, and full of personality!
