I particularly like the idea of taking pictures of the 'artist' holding their work. Great way to chronicle not only their art, but also their personality! Gotta try this the next time we go through Kate's collection. And since it's already overflowing again, we probably need to do it soon. Stacey~

I decided to take digital pictures of all of my sons' artwork. I even take pictures of him holding his masterpieces - until he gets tired of being photographed. Then it's just pics of the art itself. I cut down the 2 ft high stack to less than 1/2 an inch (I kept 4 pieces that were made as keepsakes). Now I can print everything out, organize it by that school week theme and put it in a photo album. This is a great idea. I decided to take digital pictures of all of my sons’ artwork.

But, I hate to purge all the artwork myself (although I do sometimes throw stuff away when she isn't looking - shh don't tell her!). That's why we do it together with the intent of framing it all. That way she has more buy-in to the process and can't complain too badly when she all-of-a-sudden realizes that one of her pictures is 'missing'. At least then I can say, "Remember? We recycled that one so that you could have enough room for the picture of the pony?" (I know. I'm evil. :) Kendra~ Another great storage solution! I love this. We're giving everyone lots of different ideas to choose from and they can pick which one(s) work best for them! :) Thanks for the idea! Tiffany~

Then just roll up the art and put it in the tube. They can be decorated to match the room. You can also buy the circular containers and put them in a bin and label them by grade.

We do the under bed box and I get the fun chore of going through and purging it while she's away at school. I try to purge it 2-3 times per year. Maybe the "really" special pieces can be framed like that. Course, that means she'd have to part with some of her "real" artwork since her walls are full. LOVE this idea.
