................with your children's birthday cards and paintings/drawings etc? Do you keep them all and put them in scrap books, or do you just get rid of them?

I have scrapbooks full of every painting Zach has ever done!  James asked me why I don't just keep a small selection, but I just can't bring myself to throw them away.
I have put both Zach and Mischa's first birthday cards in scrapbooks.

I cant bring myself to throw ANYTHING he's made away  even if he's stuck a tiny piece of tissue paper onto an a4 sheet of paper lol! I have an a4 wallet with his pictures in. His 1st birthday/birth cards are in his keepsake box, and his 2nd/3rd birthday and Christmas cards are safely away. I really need to draw the line now - but I can't bring myself to get rid of things. I even have the candles from each of his birthday cakes ..... and deflated helium balloons... LOL

Amie, bless you
with the birthday cards i help Emileigh cut out the picture on the front then she sends the cut outs as thankyou cards for her gifts/cards, that save some money too, plus it's a personal touch from Emileigh
