So I've put it off making a blog list for a while, because I did it before, but did it wrong. I linked to the blogs instead of to promotional frenzy etsy shops. So I pushed up my sleeves and redid it. I'm hoping that this list will make it a little easier for the next member of the team to add their etsy shops to their blog roll.
To add shop links in your sidebar;
*First go to your dashboard and click on "Design"
*Then select a blank page element (one of the rectangles on the side that says add gadget") and open it
*When it opens select "Link List"
*Then Label the Title something like "Promotional Frenzy"
*Below that type in or copy and paste the URL from each shop one at a time
*If you don't want the whole URL shown you can paste into the line below also and take out the http:// and .etsy.com in that line that says "New Site Name".
*Then save, and these should show up when you view your blog.
*Repeat, until finished.
* Here's all the urls for you that you will need. I'll update, as needed.
I wish someone had made this list for me, so I did it for you.

Laurel Burch
Next week, I plan on having students begin a painting unit in the style of Laurel Burch. Kindergarteners will be focusing on pattern. As you can see, many of Laurel's cats feature pattern. 
As usual, one of my passions is doing research on the internet. So I spent some time on the internet to discover what I could about her as an artist. I discovered that not only was she an amazing artist, she was an amazing person. At 14, she left home with a paper bag of clothes and osteoporous. She began making jewelry which became collectable. In spite of her illness, Laurel was always prolific. Even when she was forced to paint from a bed or wheelchair, she seldom put her brushes down. Laurel said, “I refuse to have anything in my life that I can’t turn around into something magical and beautiful. I just refuse.” Due to her illness, healing was always on her mind. She considered her illness a gift. I was saddened to discover that in 2007, she passed away.
One of my students, a sixth grader, mentioned that art has nothing to do with the real world. And art grades, not important! I agree with her about art grades, not important, but art, that's a different story! Art is important, art just makes life better. So, Laurel Burch to the rescue! Let's see if I can entice her into the excitement of art by way of Laurel Burch.
Until next time,
Kim
