    FYI I know an art teacher that uses year end artworks and cuts them up into
    4X6" size to mount as notecards. She then has an art sale for the teachers
    and parents. She prices them at about a nickel apiece so that they are
    affordable. It gives the kids pride in their work and also provides an
    extra boost to her budget. She has sent me some in the past and they are
    great! The leftovers she donates to a Nursing Home. Just another thought.
