What do you do with all your kids' artwork? Keep it? Throw some out? Store it away?
I have all of the artwork of Ashleigh & Noah saved from preschool to present. Now I did not save EVERYTHING!! I threw out art that was made with food or was too bulky. I have more of Ashleigh's than Noah's. Ash will be in 6th grade & Noah will be in 2nd grade in the fall. I have their art saved in Memory Keepers. I brought these Memory Keepers from Michael's. I went to their site looking for a picture, but they did not have anything like I have so I will have to take a picture & get it on here soon. I got them in the scrapbook area. I have blue for Noah & pink for Ashleigh.
I had all of these frames that did not match so I painted them all black with craft paint. I love how a simple thing like craft black can change a look. Now they all match. I really want to do this in my hallway, too, but with 8x11 frames. I need to get to yard sales this summer looking for frames. I have a goal to clean up my hallway. It is the spot where everything is placed. I am sure you have a place where things end up in. If I reorganize & throw out things, then I can get more artwork into frames. =)
New photos coming
The picture below is the wall in our dining room.

Sorry about the light in the picture. It is from the dining room light. Noah drew3 penguins going up a hill & one coming down the hill on its stomach.
Close up of Noah's
Penguin of course.
It says "My constellation looks like a penguin."
The other wall is on the other side of Noah's & the blank frame, but in the living room. This is above the tv.
The left one is Ashleigh's & the other one is another blank. I am saving those for this coming school year.

I have other great pieces, but I need bigger frames to put them into. I love that I just took my kids' art that they did & framed it. They feel good. I feel proud. They did great!
Thanks for looking,
Melissa
