Art I Will Keep
Posted by Daphne on Thursday, November 27th, 2008
I've griped about the mountains of artwork the kidlets bring home. Am I heartless for not wanting it all? I am saving a few things, or I'll save things for a few weeks and then rotate them out.
But this Obama plate she made at school recently is going in the archives. Think how excited I would be if my mom pulled out a McGovern plate I had made back in the day. And he didn't even win!
This also cracks me up because it shows what a liberal bastion her preschool is. No parent complained.
Good idea to put this in your archives. Your daughter could make another one for her to have now.
I am interested in the other things you have in your archive.
That is pretty good … but ah, yes. The mountains and mountains of artwork. That is a tough thing to deal with. (And I still don't have a solution…)
I scan my daughter's school papers and store them in a portable hard drive. While most of her art is 2-dimensional, some things do not scan well, and I sure that is the case with the Obama paper plate, so I either make a little extra space for it or a picture does the job. This strategy has turned the mountain into a small basket in the home office. Now it is much more manageable.
That would definitely be going on my "save" pile too!
I have also saved her "portrait of dad" tuffy red hair, weird large blue mouth. you know a ringer.
