Taking On The Creative - Take The Weight Off And Put The Art On Display

I don't know about you, but lately I've been feeling completely overwhelmed by the amount of art work my kids bring home from school and art class.  That's not including the projects we do from home!  Yeesh!  Don't get me wrong, nothing warms my heart more than my kids sharing their creativity with me, but the stacks and piles sitting in every nook and cranny is honestly getting to be too much.  So, I came up with a solution.......here goes.
First, I had my children choose their super duper favorite pieces.

The rest we either filed away in bins for memories, or threw away together.  Oddly enough, I had a harder time with the throw out pile than they did.  My son actually said, "It's ok Mom, I can make more."  He's a good kid.  Then, the kids chose which favorites to frame......

Which ones to dangle in their room.......

And which ones we could get creative with......that's actually a mirror with their art work on it!

In the end, it was a great experience for all of us.  We felt a little lighter, a little prouder and 
even a little more creative.

Your ideas are always great! What a clever way to decorate a home with original art work. How proud the kids must be to see their projects displayed.

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
