I want to start by saying that for being a relatively small industry of handmade soap makers, we have some highly talented bloggers! There were some really, and I mean, REALLY tight races in a couple of the categories. I am so blessed to be part of such a wonderful and sharing community. <\/p>\n

Category 1: Best Photography – Naiad Soap Arts<\/strong>

Congratulations to the winners – I have contacted them and given them award badges to display on their blogs if they choose to do so (if you didn’t get an email from me, please let me know)! Huge thanks to everyone who nominated their favorite blogs and voted in the final poll!! I’m very excited about the new blogs that have been recently “discovered” as a result of this event. I hope we can do this again next year! Please leave your comments about the experience and any suggestions you might have for next time. For example, I had one suggestion to add the category “Best New Soap Blog” which I thought was an excellent idea. I’m open to other ideas as well, so please let me know your thoughts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
