If there are kids in your house, there's probably art on your refrigerator.

That's where most families post the latest drawings and paintings the children bring home from school. Some of us haven't seen the surface of the refrigerator in years.

Who's got a better idea? How do you display your children's art?

Have you framed their your children's creations, or put up a wall of cork as a gallery area, or found some other effective way to display their work? Is anyone scanning it into a Web site so distant relatives can view it and it's archived forever? Have you found other uses for it (stationery or gift wrap for letters and gifts for the grandparents)?

As another school year starts, please share your ideas and solutions. By e-mail: features@sptimes.com put "kids' art" in the subject line. By mail: Kids' Art, c/o Tampa Bay Homes, St. Petersburg Times, P.O. Box 1121, St. Petersburg, FL 33731. We need to hear from you by Sept. 1. Please include names and daytime phone numbers.
