Like most kids, Mabel can't stand to throw anything away. (Even trash.)
So she had accumulated quite a mountainous pile of paper under her bed-
completed drawings, drawings she was "still working on", mess-ups, plain paper, etc.
We had to do something.
It was getting ridiculous.
I think it might have even been a fire hazard.
My mother-in-law had the brilliant idea to put her pictures in a notebook.
So we sorted. And sorted.
We picked her favorite drawings from last year and filled up a fat three ring binder.
She requested that the rest be recycled.
(She is such a 21st century kid.)

the cover pageIt says:
"Pictures from when I was 5.
Mabel's
Pictures from the past"
Clever, huh.

What a great idea. When she has her own kiddos they can see her art work when she was 5. When she becomes a famous artist the media can trace her talent back to when she started.
ReplyDeleteEasy way to save them too.
