I buy canvas all the time and let them paint those for the house. I love that I can keep it up for a while and then they can repaint.

I also have a clothesline strung up on one wall of their room with clothes pins to clip their work to.

I also frame some favorites.

Obviously my walls won't be making it into the pages of House Beautiful anytime soon! ;)

Allie has one of those picture lines in her room. The kind that has magnets on it and hold pictures on.

I recently thought about just taking pictures of all of the artwork and putting it on a digital picture frame. But right now I already have four. one for each kid so Im not really sure. I rarely save them though. blush.

We have super-crappy kitchen cabinets so I tape their artwork to the fronts of the kitchen cabinets. Improves the look of them immensely. I also tape them to the pantry door.

I don't think I've ever displayed stuff on the refrigerator.

We simply put them on the bathroom door (our bathroom door is smack in the living room area (small apartment).  We change it by the season.  Winter just came down, summer art going up slowly.

We also keep labeled large manilla envelopes for relatives.  As stuff comes home from school or they paint, etc- I divide the items up.  when the envelope gets stuffed, I drop it in the mail :)  I share our clutter freely.

I have some of Hannah's framed. My favorites are either framed or seperated for her hope chest (which I don't open often to put things in because I get all emo.) Anyways, I've been wanting to do a clothesline, but haven't gotten around to it. Mostly it goes on the fridge until she brings home something she likes more. Boring, eh?

I am going to hang a curtain rod on Elizabeth's door and put her artwork there using a curtain rod. In the link you can see how to do it with clips, but you can also use ribbon with clothes pins attached on the ends to make it more colorful. Granted it might not be that great if you do lots of opening and closing of the door, but hers stays open all the time. There are also some other good ways posted in the link too.

Cool site Libby, now I want a decorated KitchenAid Mixer, even though I don't even have the mixer yet.
