What to do with Artwork?

It was my husband’s idea that I write about this. Rachel has started doing crafts resulting in a lot of colourful papers in the house. We are a family that firmly believes in reduce, reuse and recycle, which is why at least ½ of the gifts we give are in cloth bags. But I digress. Throwing the paper Rachel’s done her artwork on in the garbage or recycling bin just because it is “used” didn’t have much appeal. I suggested we keep it (it’s usually brown craft paper) and wrap her gifts from us in it or her gifts to others. So that’s what we’re doing and after Rachel’s torn it to shreds removing it from her gifts we’ll recycle it. We’ve got so much of it I’ve started giving it to the Grandparents to use as wrapping paper.
