I had been looking for a good solution to store everything and decided on these 14X17 art portfolios. (ETA: this one on Amazon is only the 12 page! If you want the 24 page/48 view look here on B&H Photo) I love them because they are larger than your typical binder or photo album so they are perfect for artwork!
Everything had been in a big storage bin and so I sat on the bed and sorted and sorted and threw things away. Then I brought each child's pile out to the kitchen island and tried to sort into chronological order.
There are 24 pages front and back so 48 slots and I just started sliding everything in. Each page has a black paper you can glue or tape things to as well.
I've seen other great ideas like the file boxes with each year divided into a folder but I wanted something we could look through. I finished Lauren & Hailey's and there were plenty of pages to get from preschool through high school so I'm excited about them!
I'm hoping they will be easy to keep up with -- it's so fun to look through and remember all of these works of art and momentos. So much nicer and neater than everything thrown in the plastic tote!
