Cool App: ArtKive (for preserving kids' artwork and school work)

Just discovered this app on iTunes: ArtKive (http://www.artkiveapp.com)

Currently, it is FREE on the app store. I've been spending the last two days taking pictures on my iPhone of the massive amounts of artwork I've saved from my kids. ArtKive will organize them for each child, for each year I designate. I can share these images with friends and family.

Then, later on, I can choose to print a book and have a nifty way to archive my kids' work without having to sift through boxes and piles of paper (my current system. Ugh!).

In fact, I use this for more than just art work. I've been taking snapshots of their writing so I can save all those heartwarming "I love you, Mom!" notes scribbled when they were three to written essays in second grade about how "Dirt is Cool." It's amazing to see how their handwriting and thoughts have changed through the years. Check it out and if you find other cool apps, we'd love to hear about them!
