Craftys Awards time
It’s time for The Craftys Awards and that means nominating your favorite crafter. The Craftsy Awards were created to celebrate the best of DIY and Crafts. The categories range from traditional such as knitting, crocheting, sew, and scrapbooking to a category known as “geek crafts.” The Craftsy awards were launched in 2014. This is such a great way to recognize our creative community. Crafters have submitted so many awesome projects that selecting a winner will not be an easy task.
