3rd Post for the day--MAKE YOUR OWN STAIN

So Matt and I want to work on our house...but of course the $ thing always gets in the way...I found on Oprah..how to make your own stain for $3.00...Here ya go.
**Make your own wood stain instead of using commercial wood stain. Commercial stains are used for a dark wood look or faux effects, but Frank says by mixing old brewed coffee and black tea, you can create your own homemade stain. Let home brewed coffee and a tea bag sit for about a day or two in a full coffee pot. The stain won't cost you more than $3, he says.**
Just thought I would share the wealth!! YEAH!

I like working. I think it is satisfying to have a job. I get bored being at home all day. I feel like I need something mentally stimulating in my life.

That stain thing is pretty cool. Do you have a coffee pot? I tea stained my doll that I posted on my blog.

DON'T GO BACK TO WORK!!!! Your baby needs you and there is NO ONE that can take your place. I am glad you cried cause that means you are a good mom that loves her baby and doesn't want someone else raising him. I am proud of you guys for making it work so you don't have to get a job!!! The Lord will bless you so that it will all work out......it always does for us and now we have four and I STILL get to be home raising my sweet kids and letting them have the great childhood that I had.
Love you guys!!!

I was wondering about the coffee pot because I know you don't have one. I bet you could use a teapot.
