Bit slow off the mark here, you all heard/seen the Plummies? Quick get on over and vote by 31 August. Whip Up’s nominated for Best Craft-Related Website!

We’ve looked around, and so far, there have been no awards that specifically target the crafting world. Well, we aim to change all that with the Plummies. The Plummies exist to recognize excellence in all the many facets of crafting. Plummy award winners are nominated, and then voted on, by their peers. There will be winners in many seperate categories, with a “Best Overall Crafting” award as the grand prize.

Plummy Award winners will be recognized with official certificates, as well as buttons they can display on their website. Winners in each category will each receive reconstructed Plummy trophies, as well as the official certificate. The winner of “Best Overall Crafting” will receive the official certificate, the Plummy trophy, and a subscription to the Plum of the Month Club. All crafters should take pride in the fact that their peers have recognized their talent, as well as the hard work and dedication that goes into making their DIY business successful.

One of the goals of the Plummy Awards is to introduce you to crafters you may never have seen work from before. So please, view each nominee’s webpage before you vote in a category.

They also offer the Plum of the Month.

Each month, a different delightful surprise will be waiting for you in your mailbox. Rachel and Amy comb the globe, looking for the very best in handmade DIY goodness to include in their club. Because of their wholesale relationships with vendors, they are able to get very good discounts on prospective Plums, which means for your $15 subscription payment, you will receive upwards of $30 in merchandise!
