A Bratty Front Page!
Etsy Military Brats graced the front page with this fantastic group of bratty items to coincide with our Storque Featured Team article last night.
For those who missed it, take a look.
Click on the treasury here, it will take you to the flickr site where you can click on the buttom for "all sizes" above the photo to see it enlarged.
To connect with Etsy Sellers that share the unique background of growing up in a military family. To promote our art and increase our exposure to other military brats who participate,and to expand Etsy's customer base by attracting buyers through promotions and other marketing strategies.

Links to you... Back again... Let us swap links!
Link also known as (aka) Tagging
Some want to link/tag in the shop announcements others want to link in items… either is OK with the Brats and with Etsy… who wishes to create more connections within etsy for shoppers to browse successfully, therefore, feel free to check this list of Brats who wish to participate in this form of promotion within our team.
HOW TOO:
To link items, you just copy the link (right click and copy shortcut) on the item title, like when making a treasury.Then edit your item you want the link in ... and paste the other brats item into it....
TO FIND GOOD ITEM LINKS:
For example, if I want something to link to from a seahorse pendant, I search all items for "seahorse" and "brat" and voila! I got a link in 2 shakes of a seahorse's tail!
AN EXAMPLE: see this listing of Terryann's to see how it is done...

All Brats are welcome and Terryann will keep an updated list and post it from time to time…. Here and on our Google site.

The average Brat attends 10 schools in 12 years. I’m a below average brat. I only attended 8 in 12 years. Most brats have never lived in a place more than 3 years. You might argue that we have no roots and no hometown. But, I would have to disagree. My roots are my country, family and friends. They are the millions of people like me whose parents served our country. My hometown is America.
Brats are highly creative people too. We often moved in the middle of the school year and learned quickly the most creative and effective ways to make friends. Brats are also creative because art gives us an outlet to express how we feel and to share our incredible experiences. TerryAnn, one of our bratty teammates has written in her blog (http://justsoterryann.blogspot.com/2008/05/military-brats-how-i-survived-11.html) “I am an experience junkie.” That’s what it means to be a brat. We must live our lives to the fullest.
“We military brats have lived dozens and dozens of places, few of which remember us, and we have known tens of thousands of people, few of whom hold us in their thoughts. We are incredibly adaptable. We can transform ourselves to a large degree, to become, for a time, what others wish us to be. We are good at this, almost shamanic. We grow up learning to pick up and shed accents, slang, manners of dress and attitude and behavior. We are quick studies at mirroring the people around us. We are natural actors, disappearing into a new role, then shrugging it off like a discarded silk caftan pooling in iridescent folds about our feet, already forgotten, as we reach for a completely different garment in which to lose ourselves.” Mary Edwards Wertsch – brat.
