My favorite:
18 Tossing their artwork. After you've saved the truly superior thumb pots and the especially sentimental glitter collages, you will still have a heap of crafts the size of Mount Etna. Fill up a big black Hefty bag after they're asleep, pour yourself some wine, and then watch Hoarders. You'll feel better instantly.

I have to say, I do not feel guilty about most of these things.
I take pictures of the good projects before I throw them out. Pictures take up no space (especially when you leave them on your hard drive and don't even print them out).
Ha! That made me laugh out loud. Every time I come across old birthday cards (and I do mean OLD), I hesitate, wonder if I should keep them, and then, in a burst of courage, toss 'em out. Same with the things my Mom sends me from my childhood (old report cards and such).
So far, I've never regretted getting rid of this stuff.

Netanya - you mean you don't even keep the good ones! Wow, you're even better than i am!! very good idea!
I'd add to what Hoffman Kids said - take pics, but also take pics of them with the project. I think part of the fun years from now will be seeing how old they were when they did them. Then, toss at will.
