Ok i'm not sure what I want to do, I'm torn between putting her art in books A book per month that's how often they bring the work home... or putting it on the wall.

any other parents have that problem?

I say put it in a book.
Choose one of the most recent and place it on the fridge or something.

Sadly the teachers don't date them, I just know what's on what month.

We are hardly ever in the kitchen since well her toy kitchen is in the Den.

Your daughter will through the years bring home enough artwork to drown you. Keeping all of them is unrealistic. Collect them throughout the year, then at the end of the year, go through them with your family and pick maybe five favorites and discard the rest or take digital copies of all art and only keep your favorites in hard copy.

Kitty that's a great suggestion. It's so true too, between my two girls they bring home enough art, plus the stuff they make at home, to cover the whole house. I always feel bad when I don't keep it. But I can't possible keep it all. I think I'll try that choose five thing.

my girl is in pre school so it's well, yes I understand at one point i'm going to have to either get rid of things or storage them at a real storage place till one day she asks for something.

but I love this art work because you can see how much she's improved each day.

You can order photobooks online. They're bound books with fancy covers and everything. Why not scan or take photos of the art and get a photobook put together? I saw it on TV, for a woman who had the same issue. I'm not sure of exact websites where you can order them, but I know there are a few.

I plan to start keeping more of my son's art when he starts more actual project stuff.

I've been keeping in mine in those big plastic tubs. I'm going to run out of storage space soon, but I'll worry about that later xd

Well I've been an artist all my life, I still have most of my drawings, and I have them in a box, that's probably where I'm going to put my son's when he grows older and starts doing such things.

This summer I want to get him som finger paints and have some fun with him biggrin messy fun!!

Here's my suggestion, all of her best work should get put away so that it can be kept in good condition, you can always pull it out and show it off as needed. And the simple stuff can go on the fridge/walls, etc. That's what I do!

Instead of physically keeping them all, you could always scan them all to your computer and then upload them to an image host site like photobucket.com
