Olympic DIY Round Up

The London 2012 Olympic Games are in full swing and, if your family is like mine, all eyes are glued to the television. The patriotic spirit is always high in our house during international events, since I am a Canadian, my partner is a Kiwi and we live in Australia. :) Here is a round up of some fun ideas to get into the Olympic spirit, and I have a growing Sporty Creativity board on Pinterest with these ideas and more.
