I try not to discourage my children's artistic freedom. My son may be the future Alexander Calder or Tim Burton. But there have been times when his room looks like it was decorated by a cardboard packaging plant. Then I have to decide between art and fire safety. And I'm sure many artists would disagree with my choice, but their moms would back me up.

They most certainly would!!!!
That's so funny...my sons were just asking about some cans yesterday that I had JUST rinsed. :)
I totally back you up! There are many tears and protests every time I remove a box from the house.
I feel your pain! I have a paper bag canoe that is currently occupying valuable floor space, but I can't seem to find a way to dispose of it without massive protests! Sigh, the pain of the artist/engineer's mother!
Oh, yes and "Mommy this is a really 'special' picture. More special than the others, you can't throw it away. I will put it in your sock drawer so you remember." And that adds to the one under my pillow and on my end table, kitchen table, fridge, etc.
