Then, sometime during the summer, I go through the basket and pull out 10-15 of my favorites. I take close-up photos of these and put them in their school scrapbook. THEN, from this group, I pick my all-time favorites (I limit myself to no more than 10) and put them in a three ring binder (one for each child).<br /><br />I get rid of the rest, and the basket is ready and waiting for the next school year.<br /><br />But it is hard to get rid of them...I like your idea of saving them for a gift when they marry.Maria (also Bia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915816897999091636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-9912678270166772382009-04-16T01:07:00.000-05:002009-04-16T01:07:00.000-05:00well, it would be a real conversation starter if y...well, it would be a real conversation starter if you wallpapered your living room with all those drawings.......<br /><br />maybe I should do that?MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-70476892161944521192009-04-15T14:10:00.000-05:002009-04-15T14:10:00.000-05:00Indeed, I see some real work that might even rival...Indeed, I see some real work that might even rival Picasso! My children always loved to draw. Well, except maybe Jimmy...He'd rather trade baseball cards. Have a grand day!

I do the SAME THING :) I...I love this post, Lisa! I do the SAME THING :) I surreptitiously hide the art that is going "out" -- a friend of mine that does the same thing says we'll see it all again in Heaven ;)<br /><br />But some things I keep forever -- like a 5 yo Francie's drawing of me that says: "I like my Mother. I LOVE my Mommy."<br /><br />It cracks me up that she differentiated between "mother" and "mommy" -- I think "mother" is the disciplinarian! :)Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332125903937752882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-34002917701126370742009-04-14T22:27:00.000-05:002009-04-14T22:27:00.000-05:00Those are great!

Then you could make CD's for your kids, or use their artwork as backgrounds or make a screensaver slideshow with them. I plan to do that when Clark starts drawing and not eating the crayons. It is a great way to keep clutter out of the house and out of storage bins, even though it may take up more space in your computer. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
