Drawing on Inspiration

Yesterday, I cleaned my entire craft room in an effort to find a small bottle of paint. The organizing, dusting and mopping were overdue, and I consider the day a success except that I never found what I was looking for.

I did, however, catch up on the organization of Bitty's artwork.

It was stacked up on an old buffet by the wall, but I photographed each drawing and saved the best ones in his art folder, stacking the rest to be used as wrapping paper this Christmas. I got the fabulous idea to make a collage out of the photos here:

And there are lots of great ideas at the following link. It's tough to let any pictures go, but no one enjoys them in a dusty pile!

This is also in my Pinterest queue, but I'm forcing myself to wait until the images are universally recognizable.
