I love it when my personal and professional life crossover and I get some great information that are applicable to both. Last weekend I was at a scrapbooking crop and I met a Close to My Heart sales consultant. She taught an awesome project using 12 x12 file folders to keep track of your children's memorable school work (I'll show that in another post someday). We started talking about preserving our children's work and she told me she had a closet full of their old backpacks that have all the "big projects" in them that don't fit into the file folder.
What a wonderful idea...save your child's backpack from each year and fill it with their best work. Such nostalgic treasures they will have when they get older.
My daughter's backpack from preschool and jr. kindergarten is in the pile of donations to go to the church garage sale. Thank goodness the donations aren't due until mid-October because that backpack is being picked from the pile.
Can't wait to start filling it full of memories...and continue to backpack through the next 13 years!
