I saw the idea somewhere (magazine? blog? who knows...) to keep all the art from each week in a single place (bin on the wall, stack on the counter) and then let the child choose one piece to keep each Friday. I'm thinking my tolerance will be one piece a month, though. Unless it's really really cute.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561209913356687178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143028068444804616.post-31508576267249866802012-05-21T09:19:05.365-07:002012-05-21T09:19:05.365-07:00I save everything.
