well nicies ... all this could be yours!

or at least some of it could! :)

that's right.

all of these beautiful handmade & vintage delights are made & collected by the amazing sponsor shops of the 2011 handmade olympics. i'm so thankful to all of these superstars for making the events possible!

there are over $2000 worth of prizes up for grabs.

so stop in and nominate your own works, and nominate the works of others that you love in each of the 8 events.

someone has to win each of the 24 wonderful prize packs, right?

and you can't win if you're not entered.

{ & heck, why not make someone's day by nominating them!}

and be sure to visit + oogle at each of the sponsor shops, too!

don't they make gorgeous things?

yay to beautiful things!

indeed, most of all, let's take a cue from those *other* olympic athletic competitors to achieve our own handmaking bests... dream big, weather the ups & downs, keep trying, surround yourself with great, encouraging folks, and most of all... believe in your self, your creations, and your fabulous work!
