I've been taking pictures of wooden things recently...
I love the colours of these wooden beads
One day, when my children were tiny, and we were out in the park, the decorator painted over the height chart I had penned on the wall, and wiped out the precious record of their youngest years... I was broken hearted. I decided I would never again record their heights on a wall. I bought a plank of pine and nailed it to the wall. I measured a centimetre scale up the side, and we are still using it. When we moved house I simply removed it from the wall and took it with us. I wish I'd done the same with the pantry door which was festooned with sticky labels of all types, from food, toys, games etc - they loved it! I think I have a photo of it somewhere. The height chart is now a little messy with the measurements of 6 people.
