It's even more wonderful that you can share them with your son, too. My kids sometimes get so excited to show me what they've created that I could never toss them away. Lola, I love the quilt idea and have seen it done. Quilting is one of those talents I have yet to learn. I have a beautiful sewing machine my husband gave me and it's just waiting for when I'm ready.

Although, I do like the idea suggested about downloading it all onto a CD. That way it could be kept forever. The only problem would be when CD's are no longer used.

To that end, I came up with an idea of having the child color the same picture every year, and keep the results in a binder.

Mom was a bit of a pack rat, saved most of my art from early childhood through high school. When I arrived at my own home, I couldn't wait to go through all of it - what a memory popper! Projects I remember making right in front of my eyes, very cool. I did eventually start whittling down the art I wanted to keep (to show my son some day, and get another big laugh) into a single box (now in my own attic). Great tips on how and where to store and display!
