Hi, I'm Kelly.

I'm a mom of two, and like you, I saved everything they ever made me. Every drawing, every card, every project. Some of them I hung up, but the others I stored away because I knew they mattered, but I didn't know what else to do with them.

I love crafts and building things, so one day I had the idea to turn their artwork into a canvas. I made one for my daughter first. A collage of everything from her preschool years. Every painting, every handprint, every "I love you, Mommy" card with backward letters.

When I hung it in our living room, it hit me. This wasn't clutter anymore. It was her. At 4 years old. Forever. It felt so heartwarming to see her artwork again in my everyday life.

Some close friends saw my creation and absolutely loved it. They asked me to do the same for them, and that's how The Keepsake Canvas started.

Now I'm doing this for other families. Turning their piles of artwork into something they can display and love. Every canvas reminds me why I started.
