As you know, most of the artwork that comes home is themed for a specific season or holiday. Save the best of the best and store it along with your holiday decorations for that season. Then when you go to decorate you will have some darling, homemade touches that are oh, so sentimental. The kids love it because you're displaying their handiwork, and you don't have to keep them up all year. Everyone's happy. See the jack-o-lantern? Cole made that in kindergarten. Be sure to put names and dates on the back. Happy Fall!!
*This idea brought to you by Mom, who every Christmas hangs the cutest handprint Christmas tree from when my sister was in preschool...20 years ago.

Great idea! I'll have to remember that!
Instead of the fridge, my sister in law got a cute/cheap wrought iron curtain rod and hung it about midway down the wall on a large wall near their entryway. She put the ring clips on it and lets the kids choose which art work to hang each week. It's a great place where everyone can see it and low enough that the kids can change it out themselves. I know she saves some of their work...not sure how she uses it after that though.
I love this idea - and am waiting for the day that Lorin brings artwork home from school...
that's a great idea. I'm ashamed at how much artwork I end up tossing in an attempt to "declutter" everything, I do save special things and sentimental stuff. Geez the random papers pile up quick, though! I'm intrigued and envious of your bonzai move to Mex (it is Mexico, isn't it)! Do keep us all posted on how everything is going down there. suerte...
