I have a box in the shed full of artwork, but 50% gets recycled either into new artwork or recycle bin.
I want to make a scrapbook soon.
I take it inside and shove it on a table... Then when they go back to their dads, accidentally drop it into the garbage bin. I do keep and big painting they do and use it as wrapping paper for relos or I put it in an envelope and send it to the grandparents!
It's driving me nuts. I reckon I get 15-20 pieces per week from DD1. And believe me, it's quantity, not quality.
I've told her that it's her responsibility to bring it inside from the car and if she wants to keep it, she needs to put it in her art portfolio. That sounds very posh, it's just a big cardboard briefcasey thing from the newsagent. I've told her that anything that gets left in the car or around the house gets put in recycling.
Can't bring myself to actually do it though!
