2011 is just about to come to a close. Over 1,200 articles were published right here on Handmadeoloy in 2011 alone. Over 2.5 million visitors stopped by in 2011 to learn about running a creative business, check out awesome handmade and vintage items, and to see what the next coolest diy project has been posted. I have put together a list of some of the most viewed, shared, and liked posts of 2011. Hope you enjoy!
