So keeping that idea in mind I took pictures of all my artwork, edited it, cropped it, etc. Since most were large pieces I couldn’t scan it however if you have lots of small pieces of flat art scanning would be perfect for you. After everything looked as close to the real thing I designed my book. That process was rather easy, since most of my work didn’t have dates I only added in the pictures {without descriptions} in as close to in order as I could. {One thing I would suggest is adding the year and a short description to each piece of art you keep so it is easier years down the road.} 

In about a weeks time I had my childhood artwork book in hand and I think it turned out wonderful. It’s such a great way to preserve all those great memories and one of a kind pieces! What do you do with your artwork from childhood or your own kids artwork?

Supplies

• Bucket with lid that screws on {so it wont fall off}
• Dirt
• Worms
• Drill
• Table scraps {Veggies, Fruit, etc. compost safe items}
• Water

First drill holes evenly around your bucket, I used a 3/16 drill bit. {including the bottom & lid}

Next add a layer of dirt to your bucket so it fills it up about a fourth of the way. 

Then add in your food scraps {we like to keep a mini compost bin under the kitchen sink that way less trips outside. Plus it makes it easier for us to remember to compost}

After your food scraps are in your bucket make sure you add about a cup of water {depending on the size of your bucket you may need more water} to get your compost moist.

Last step, add in your worms. {this can be fun for kids, of course Miss.A had to name them all. haha}

After your rolling composter is complete put your lid on and give it a good roll to mix everything up. To store it make sure you keep it out of the direct sun A. it’s not good for the worms and B. that could get rather stinky. Also when you add more scraps to your compost add some water to it {for us we live in the 100 degree desert weather so this is something we may have to do more then others since it hardly rains} to keep it moist & worms alive. As time goes on you will have to add in more dirt too but this will get you started.
