Got a Kid Art “Situation”?

Hello Beautiful!

The youngest of our grandbabies--Campbell and Lucille--turned 3 this past week! (I can hardly believe it…)

Even though it snowed in Wisconsin today--it FEELS like spring and it also feels like it’s time to clear stagnant and stuck energy in your home--you know, that “Spring Cleaning” (or Spring Clutter-Clearing) thing…

We have had two AMAZING Virtual Clutter Clearing Circles--in February and March and plan to continue for at least one more month--info below--get it on your calendar if you’re interested!!!!

In working with clients, we OFTEN run into a section of “Kid Art”--this can be piles of old artwork, tubs of kid artwork or just artwork pinned up on bulletin boards, refrigerators, walls, etc.

Clients want to keep it all (or most of it) mostly for sentimental reasons and because their precious children, grandchildren, nieces/nephews made it and brought it home for them!

It’s hard!!!!!! You don’t just want to “throw it away” but also, you definitely CAN’T keep it all and compromise the chi in your space.

I have two BEAUTIFUL solutions to this dilemma for you! And, if you don’t have kids of your own, perhaps you know someone who would love this info…

1. This is by far my favorite--this artist--Mimi Gravel--recycles your kid’s art and creates GORGEOUS collages worthy of hanging in your home and office--check out her website for the full effect, but here are a couple of examples:
   

What a fun and beautiful--highly energetic--way of saving and ENJOYING kid art. Because if it’s in a tub in the basement, you can’t really enjoy it!

1. This website, Artkive, also has some choices for you! My favorite is the option to turn your child’s art into a book which preserves the pieces and makes them very accessible to enjoy for years to come--no more crumbling tempera paint or chalky residue! They send you A BOX (genius) for your art selections and then they compile it and send you a completely finished and BEAUTIFUL book to enjoy and share.

Enjoy selecting your favorites and leave the work to someone else--you will LOVE the results from either of these options and the best part? No More Art Clutter for you to contend with--feels SO GOOD!!!!!

Do you have any other great ideas for handling this category of clutter? If so, I would love to hear from you--also, let me know if you try either of these options I would also love to see the results!

Lots of Love,
XOXO

PS: Our next Clutter Clearing Circle (virtual work session) will be Friday, April 29th, 2022 at 12pmCT--Our topic will be “Closing the Circle”--I hope you can make it!
XOXO
