abstract.jpgIt’s one of those universal guilty parenting moments: Your child comes home, brimming with pride over his latest crayon on construction paper, and your first thought is not “Art lessons! This kid’s clearly the next Kandinsky.” But rather: “Where the heck am I going to put this one?”

When you’ve maxed out the installations at the office and your drawers are overflowing, it’s time to try a new tack. Send the creations, along with your child’s photo, age, grade and a few fun facts (favorite color, book) to the Art Archives. They’ll make a personalized DVD, set to music, of his or her greatest artistic hits.

Which leaves you free to surreptitiously recycle the “World’s Best Mom” series — without relinquishing the title.
