This year’s skirtpalooza was fun, no? We like to summarize all of the fun in one post… just for fun. A skirtpalooza linkpalooza. For anyone wandering in who’s not heard of skirt week, it’s alllll here. Or here for 2011.
We started out with this announcement and invitation to join us. We then set up the four pools for skirts: a-line, full, straight and children’s and shared the lineup of guest posts, including skirts from:
Janica from JaniJo (our readers’ choice full skirt winner 2011!)
Michael Ann from Michael Ann Made (our readers’ choice straight skirt winner 2011!)
We spent a week parading our awesome Skirt Week sponsors through your living room (or bedroom or office or poolside, wherever it is you read our blog). They included:
After the sponsor parade we identified and thanked our fabulous panel of judges who dug through *365* skirt entries to choose their favorites. Our judges included:
1: Ashley of Lil Blue Boo 2: Meg of Elsie Marley 3: Amy of Mod Podge Rocks and 12 other sites 4: Rae of Made by Rae 5: Michael Ann of Michael Ann Made 6: Sabra of Sew A Straight Line 7: Natasha of Little Pink Monster 8: Jen of Upcycled Education 9: Kim of Crafty NH Mom 10: Disney of Ruffles and Stuff 11: Florence of Flossie Teacakes 12: Jessica of Happy Together 13: Mandy of Sugar Bee Crafts 14: Jess of Craftiness Is Not Optional 15: Stacey of Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy 16: Susan of Living With Punks 17: Janica of JaniJo 18: Anna of Noodlehead 19: Jessica of Running With Scissors
And during the week of Skirt Week competition, 40 finalists competed for the four reader’s choice and four judge’s choice awards. The winners for A-Line, Full, Straight and Children’s categories were all finalized.
This year’s winners by category were:
A-line Reader’s Choice: Skirt With Peepholes by MissPatee!

Skirt Week (month) was SO FANTASTIC! You two did a lot of work, I know, but it turned-out beautifully:) I definitely will be referring to the flickr pools all year long for inspiration. Thanks Adrianna & Susan:)
Thanks for all of your hard work! It was great!
