Pile it up?
Recycle it?
I realized today there is an overflowing box of previously-used frames in my basement. And an overflowing pile of school art on my counter. And a completely empty pallate on our half-wall leading to the basement. When these three strangers meet, here's what becomes of their instant friendship:
I love it! And The Man even complimented the look upon arriving home from The Office. Now you know it's good!
Here's the new view from our front door!
It felt so much better to keep their hardwork - and now display it for all to see - while re-emphasizing that this is a home where we all live, a la The Nester.

The wall looks fabulous! I love that the artwork is hung low where little artists can see it.
BTW, I finally got around to trying your shower-cleaning trick, and it worked for me too! The bottom of my shower door is still going to take some more work, but the rest of the glass is so clear I have wanted to take friends in to admire my clean shower. :)
Karin, Another idea I've been given is the big pieces of paper can be reused as wrapping paper for their friend's or family birthday parties. Makes the paper extra special along with the present they're giving.
This is the best!! I love it.
I also tried the dryer sheet trick. I use ones that have already been through the dryer and they work just fine. Actually, I think they work better than new ones.
Hey Karin: Thanks for dropping by my blog but more importantly coming over from Shannon's!
The "glass" I used in my pics is acrylic, I just couldn't think of that name when I posted...I have lots of memory lapses! And I have also heard of that distressing kit and have used those kits before but I'm just going to paint out the table on this project, but thanks for your suggestions.
I'll be checking back on your blog so it's good to "meet" you.

Karin--I love this! Fantastic! The art is so beautiful and the colors coordinate--Great job arranging those pieces! I like the idea of the mulit-color piece being smaller than the glass. That's a very cool idea! Keep on rockin!
Lovely!
