I think they are box collectors!Rhissannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09001501916407616825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894236052593800081.post-90053916594158762132012-06-18T09:04:38.912-07:002012-06-18T09:04:38.912-07:00I used some herbal tea bags once because I didn...I used some herbal tea bags once because I didn't like them.

If I was after a specific effect, it would drive me nuts. I'll have to try coffee, and the onion skins suggested below, for more shades.Rhissannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09001501916407616825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894236052593800081.post-60584475437600713442012-06-17T19:56:53.475-07:002012-06-17T19:56:53.475-07:00Wonderful Post Rhissanna and Sookie is just adorab...Wonderful Post Rhissanna and Sookie is just adorable!

I have been guilty of adding coffee to the mix just to darken it. :)<br /><br />Sookie is adorable and her coloring is beautiful!<br /><br />DeeDee ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️https://www.blogger.com/profile/16812767820832755542noreply@blogger.com
