It's still important to save some of your all time favorites though because nothing can replace a real piece of art, a picture isn't the same thing.Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851446861098955538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-57047875740148665302009-06-12T10:43:16.852-07:002009-06-12T10:43:16.852-07:00My mom used to put it on the fridge and photograph...My mom used to put it on the fridge and photograph it.

She thought her sister had done it. That's when you throw the "How'd that get there" look out and say it was a mistake. I've gotten pretty good at it. <br /><br />I used to save everything when my oldest was little, but I've learned to weed through and save the special pieces and toss the others. I just try not to get caught!Debbie @ Three Weddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778199494515694006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-59697621731469499592009-06-10T18:43:42.229-07:002009-06-10T18:43:42.229-07:00Oh yeah, I know the feeling.

Sometimes nicole will say she didn't like something she did and chunk it herself, but I have kept anything that she made for ME, not just in art class. Some stuff I have pressed in pages of my journal. Others I have in my organizer that I carry with me always. I love all of it.MaBunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729495477063071692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-59344820926559604922009-06-10T12:33:47.817-07:002009-06-10T12:33:47.817-07:00I usually keep just a few projects (now that they&...I usually keep just a few projects (now that they're older, my big kids don't bring too much artwork home anymore anyway).<br /><br />Another idea (similar to the copying/putting in the scrapbook idea) is to scan the artwork and save it to a disc. You could even go so far as to type a description on each "page" so people would know what they were looking at - it would be great for a graduation slide-show as well.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01329375303392385316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-47775954103181629642009-06-10T10:18:44.468-07:002009-06-10T10:18:44.468-07:00Not to jump the gun here...you might already plan ...Not to jump the gun here...you might already plan to include this. I had a scrapbooker tell me to photocopy and shrink down artwork and then put it in a scrapbook with the child's comments. They still see their artwork and can comment on it while it is fresh in their little noggins.<br /><br />Personally, I purchased a few of those expanding artist portfolios from a craft store. Most of the artwork fits inside just fine. <br /><br />Your suggestion for the sweater box would be great for anything, but especially for 3-D artwork or sculpture type projects.noexcuseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149834972952594159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-84945188664108994122009-06-10T06:47:14.356-07:002009-06-10T06:47:14.356-07:00THANK YOU.

My daugther was only in 2 mornings a week "Mommy's Day Out" and we have a bag FULL of goodies that I can't bear to part with.
