Children's art that lives forever

I'm one of those mothers that's a professional organizer's nightmare. I can hardly bear to part with a single one of my girls' drawings, whether it's a 3-D art class project, or a scribble on a napkin. So I always love ways to turn kids' creations into more formal keepsake pieces, helping to validate my love of all that delicious early artwork.

 

Chooch Magooz is a shop providing those very services, and from what I can tell, what she does with personalized childrens artwork is just gorgeous. Scan your child's work into a jpg file and she'll recreate it in white embroidery thread on black. Pretty striking.  Or for a more a more complex piece, she can do it in full color in a larger embroidery hoop even adding detail like fabric or butons.

What a smart gift for a grandparent, or to hang on Mommy or Daddy's office wall. Or even just for your own child so they know how much you value that very perfect drawing of a pickle that actually did look like a pickle.

The prices are amazingly good--about $27-32 US (she ships from Spain). The one catch: You have to order by 11/28 to make a Christmas delivery. Go for it. -Liz
