CohabiTOT – living stylishly with children

My friend recently posted this on her blog:

“Fourth day of preschool and this is the art that came home today – just today.  I mean, people…  I have three kids, so that’s 9 total years of preschool – about 2268 DAYS of preschool.  I’m gonna have to buy a storage unit at this rate.  And don’t just tell me to throw it away.  Moms don’t throw their kids’ art away.  At least not this week.

Here’s my suggestion for her!

( I originally posted it on Barista Kids but in cased you missed it):

Another day of nursery school and my son has come home with more artwork.

I have been taking photographs of the extra special projects and saving them on my computer. Especially the ones from building class at the Little Y. My 3-year-old Alan made a great bird with Ms. Maryann. This is the kind of project that won’t last for long–Alan already wants to know if the bird will float in the bathtub.

So I just uploaded photos of his best crafts to the Blurb website, and they’ll make me a great art book. See the cover of the one I’m working on at top

It’s only $25 to have a nice hardback book with a dust jacket that includes Alan’s art projects. I love this, and it helps me keep all of our stuff more organized. Plus, I don’t feel so guilty throwing that bird from building class away one day.

How do you save your child’s artwork?
