look what i won + look what YOU won!

my fun new dancing shoes! (thanks BAITfootwear & sandyalamode!)





this morning the funnest package arrived!
though i love cheering on handmakers with great giveaways here whenever i can, i have to be honest: i really should enter other folks' contests MORE often!

but a couple of weeks ago i was enticed by the beautiful sandyalamode when i saw the vivid array of fun shoes i could choose from in her BAIT footwear giveaway.

and lo and behold - i WON!
much to my delight, BAIT has the funnest ever selection of primary coloured shoe-y superstars. the choice was a toughie - but my faves from the start are these cuties in cobalt blue. 

they are superfun and comfy, and so very well made! (and since you know my love of dandelions, i thought i'd show them off today in the photo above from our happily yellow & green park!) 

AND... much overdue, this starts a fun new blog series of what YOU nicies have WON here on the rikrak studio. (so many amazing sweeties have offered the funnest ever prizes here over the years. 

IF YOU'VE WON SOMETHING FUN ON MY BLOG, PLEASE DO SEND ME A PICTURE OF YOUR PRIZE (AND YOU WITH THEM, IF YOU FEEL KEEN!) to rikrakmail at yahoo dot com and i'll feature you, too!) 

let's spread the handmade love! 

(& speaking of giveaways ... just enough time to enter to WIN the little red door giveaway (ends tonight) & the may *i love my sponsors* giveaway, too! yay! )

congrats card by hillarybird

...............................


cue the national anthems!
ready your handmade banners!
get out those cameras!
here come our medalists!

welcome to the 2011 handmade olympics medal party celebrations!!

so glad you could all attend! what a fabulous month and a half of handmaking amazingness it's been!

while you're taking your seats... i've just a few words i'd like to share!
(what olympic event would be complete without a speech?!)

cheers to everyone who nominated, cheered on and encouraged others in handmaking, as part of the 2nd annual *handmade olympics!*

over 12000 individual votes were cast (i *think* that might be more then voted in our last election! :) {you nicies should run for office the way you've inspired grassroots cheering like this! amazing!}

and how fun is that our medalists are from all around the world!? i love the global spirit of handmaking!

ah, how i LOVE the handmade community! your enthusiasm was inspiring! the events were created in the hopes of celebrating handmade, and what a celebration you all helped to create!

congrats to ALL of the fabulous nominees, the amazing folks shortlisted for each event, and now, to our medalists!

thanks to everyone who played.
hope it encouraged you, at the very least, to get your wonderful work out there, and to cheer on others in our lovely handmaking village! whether you played, voted, created or cheered, i think we all play a great part in building our amazing handmaking community, together!

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!

without further ado... as nominated by YOU, shortlisted by our fabulous judges, and voted on by YOU, our medallists (whose prizes total over $2000 worth of handmade & vintage goodness) in the 2011 handmade olympics ARE.....
