The Gallery - Home

In our kitchen there is a wall. 

On that wall are the pencil marks that show the passage of time and the how quickly the children are growing. I can never decorate that bit of the kitchen, which shows bad planning on my part, but it's okay because it is hidden behind the door!




It is also the wall of 'art'. This seems to grow on a daily basis as another masterpiece is created. I will have to rotate these creations or my home will be completely decorated by the children. But I love the colours and life that they bring to our house.



Without these marks and personal touches our house would never be a home, and trust me, it is well lived in ;-)

Now go over to Sticky Fingers to see other entries in this weeks Gallery.

  10. Love it! We used to have a wall at my Dad's office. We were gutted when he moved businesses because he lost 15 years of our life! Wish we had a wall space for art. Ours is the fridge and we struggle to get in it!
