One evening a couple of weeks ago, I sat down and photographed everything I wanted kept for posterity. I did save a couple of projects from each of my boys, and the memory books their teachers had made of the whole school year. I know, I'm a sucker, and we'll see how those fare in a few years, but for now I am keeping them.
I got a coupon for a free poster print at Walmart, and I found super cheapo poster frames for $6 each, so my project ended up costing around $12 total.
We are redoing this particular corner of the playroom/office, since my husband likes my computer better (better graphics card, yeah!) and now never sits at his desk, so this corner is going to be the media/recharging station/printer/etc. area, but for right now I really like my boys' work up there.

I love this idea. My daughter isn't even in school yet and I can already tell that all the artwork will add up quickly. Thanks for sharing!
Oh Claudia, What a great idea! I just love it! I wish I had thought to do something like that, years ago.
In fact, I still have art like this..and my baby is 17. I've saved their stories..and their art. Now you've got me thinking.
Perhaps I can do a 'grandma' poster when my grandchildren get older.
Love it!
