That's a great idea. I'll have to start saving my gkids artwork.

Very cute idea!!! I'm a teacher and used to send home a portfolio of special things the kids did. I would be honored if my parents did a wall hanging of one of their pieces, as would the kids.

Looks like you might have a future fabric designer!! Neat...

very nice!

She was always so proud of them.

very neat - thanks

What a great idea. I have a reindeer wreath that my daughter made many moons ago. She would absolutely love this. Me thinks it might make a great christmas gift.
