After taking all of those digital photos, you can create a slideshow on your desktop, print out smaller versions for grandparents, or (my favorite!) make a big collage out of their mini art prints.

Storage is the problem we are running into in my house. I want to keep them, but they take up so much space! Taking pictures of the artwork will help solve that issue. <br/>As far as craft ideas go...I have saved extra birthday invitations or ones that were sent to us for the character pictures on them. The kids like to write on them and "mail" them. I love the idea of taking pictures of their artwork. Storage is the problem we are running into in my house.

No, actually I found you through smellyann's blog, and I found her through the carnival giveaway. I looked at your giveaway, too, but I got distracted by your posts! LOL. Anyway. <br/><br/>I love the statement you quoted: "Much of the value of crafts are in the making." So true. When I make something, I totally enjoy the process. But then, I discount that because I turn around and want it to be useful, too, so I can justify keeping it around. Not always necessary!<br/><br/>And that idea is very freeing. In fact, I can think of some things right now that I could discreetly dispose of, and no one would ever come back and ask me, "You know that [thing] I made? Do you still have it?" They probably will not remember because the value and the enjoyment came from the making. What an epiphany for me today. Thank you!! Well, I found you through the blog carnival.
