Photograph your work

It is a nice idea to take photos of your completed stitched pieces and keep the photos together in an album.  Write the date you completed the piece, and other notes such as who it was stitched for, on the back of the photo as a lasting diary of your stitching life.  Take the photo in good light, trying to avoid use of the flash if the piece is framed behind glass.  Even take photos of any stitched cards you make as again they are a lovely reminder of the work you produced.
