Do you preserve the craft items you had made during your school days?

I am married and completed 23 years and have two adolescent children. I still preserve a number of items I had made during my school days as a part of craft-work. I take them out often and show it to my children (who have seen them as many times as I take them out). This includes a dozen of embroidered hand-towels, table cloth, tray cloth, dressing table set and many more, I even have a framed embroidered wall hanging done when I was in my X class. I think about my school days each time I have a look at these crafts made by me. School days are really lovely which one can never forget in a lifetime.
How about you all? Have you treasured anything else you had used or made during your school or college life?

Hello there, I do not keep handicrafts that I made during my school days. But I do keep my whole collections of bookmarks that I have collected since my school day. School days has always been the best memory to me =)) That is why, I started to keep my daughters' handicraft now. I chose my daughters' most well done handicrafts to keep since their nursery. Also, I kept all mother's day card from them. Cheers =))

Unfortunately anything I made, I painted a lot, was thrown away years ago. Mom and I moved a lot and she didn't seem to think my work was that important.
I save everything my grandkids make though, their artwork is hung on the walls of my guest room where the grandkids sleep. Everything else is found in various places throughout the house. Each thing they make is precious to me, and I'm proud to display them. By the way, I have 15 grandchildren, but only a few of them make things for me.

Yes, but only those craft that i love, still have them today. Some people always love collecting things, not only craft. during my younger years, i always collected the jersey of whichever basketball team i joined. But for the reason the some people also like it, "remembrance" i never completed keeping them all, at the end i lost also the desire.

I don't keep the craft items I made duirng school. I made some items and preserved it for sometime, but they are no more. I live in a city and it is difficult to find place to keep all that stuff. It is also difficult to take all the unwanted things with me whenever I shift to a different house.
