Organising Children's Artwork Through Photos

Your children's artwork tells the story of their childhood. But what do you do when the paintings, drawings and school projects start taking over your home?

From their very first scribbles to the carefully crafted creations they brought home from school, children's artwork captures a wonderful part of growing up.

And even when your children are all grown up, chances are you still have boxes of their artwork, school projects, certificates and other childhood creations tucked away in cupboards, garages or spare rooms.

You kept them because they were special. But now, years or even decades later, what are you supposed to do with it all?

You don't want to throw away those precious memories, but you can't possibly keep everything. And perhaps your grown-up children don't particularly want to inherit boxes and boxes of their old schoolwork either!

The good news is that you don't have to keep every piece to preserve the memories!

By photographing or scanning your children's artwork and schoolwork, you can preserve those special creations without needing to find space for every single piece of paper.

And once you've captured them digitally, you can organise them alongside your family photos, creating a wonderful record of your children's early years.

But where do you start? What should you keep? Is it better to photograph or scan artwork? And how do you organise everything so you can actually find it again?

In this short course, I'll show you a simple, practical system for capturing, sorting and preserving your children's artwork and school memories without keeping every piece.

We'll look at how to turn those overflowing boxes and piles into an organised collection of childhood memories that you and your family can enjoy for years to come.
