Works for me Wednesday - Saving those "Masterpieces"

Several blogs that I read post helpful tips on "Works for Me Wednesday." I've seen lots of clever ideas and thought I would pass one along.

The girls are always bringing home "masterpieces" from school. I always sort through what is worth saving and what isn't. If it's a worksheet or coloring page, those usually stick around for the week, but then I chunk them. The projects that they are most proud of or include something personal - like their picture, handprint, etc., I keep in one of those under-the-bed storage bins. I keep in in my hall closet and as soon as those projects come home, that's where they go for safe keeping.

I remember looking under the bookcase at my parent's house and finding old projects I worked on. I loved to look at the things I did and see how my handwriting and drawings changed. I want the girls to have those same treasures when they get older.

I'd love to hear your ideas! Leave them in the comments or send me an email. I can always use a good organizational tip. I know many of you have me beat on that!
