I have something today that I hope will be of some use to you with the Holiday season coming up. Measuring charts are great, especially if you need a 1 c. of something and just realized that the kids used all of your clean measuring cups to measure out the amount of turtle food and peanut butter needed to keep the dog making those funny faces for at least an hour,  but as you all know, whenever you need them they are stuffed inside some cookbook somewhere and by the time you might actually find it the water has boiled over, the meat has burned and the kids have discovered that crayons really do melt in the dryer but not really in a washing machine.  I have this chart printed up and glued to a picture of an old-fashioned milk bottle.  I then laminated it (directions here) and taped it up inside one of my kitchen cabinets.
