If you're like me, you kept all the art your child created in school. You proudly hung it on the fridge or in your office cubicle. Then you stored it away in a box for safe keeping. One box became two boxes and two boxes became three boxes. You get the idea. Then you sort it into precious and couldn't possibly throw away and those pieces that weren't so precious. Now you're down to one box, again.
You are now downsizing and need to get rid of stuff. You still can't part with this precious art created by your kid(s); Mother's Day cards that read, "To my Mom, I love you." How can you throw this away? Since we're now in a digital age, this problem is solved.
Just scan this precious art work into your computer in a folder labeled "Kid Art." After you're done scanning - it takes awhile - select nine at a time to print wallet sized versions on an 8 1/2 by 11" magnet sheet and cut each piece out and stick them to your microwave or your fridge - anything magnetic like a cookie sheet for example. Ta da.
Now, you still have the paper. What to do with the paper? My thought, and it's just a thought, don't throw it away. You can shred them and make new paper out of it! There are simple instructions for making paper on line.
You can just store all this precious art work on a memory disk if you don't relish the idea of hanging it up again. Oh, and don't forget to recycle the box.
