Where for ART thou?

This popped into my mind when I was picking up Son #1 from school today. I have a humongous bin of art work that I have no idea how I'll ever part with. Since I will eventually have another wee one in school, there is also no way I'll be able to keep everything they bring home. I will NOT, repeat NOT EVER, throw anything away. They are so proud of what they create, it would break my heart. My solution? Wrapping for family gifts! This may sound like common sense, but I realized just today all the non-holiday opportunities I've missed making a little more personal by using Son #1's creations. He brought home a paper plate penguin today, and since my wonderful Mother in Law loves penguins, I'm going to ask him to present it to her at our next visit. I can already see her reaction, and it's prominent placement on her fridge. While not gift wrapping, it will be cherished by her as much as any gift we could ever give her.
