Home made natural dryer sheets

So easy to make, re-usable, safe for your body and the environment, and you can make them whatever scent you want.

What you need: 1. An old 100% cotton shirt or other piece of scrap cloth. 2. Scissors 3. Pure essential oils of your choice 4. sandwich bags or rubbermaid container 5. Marker 6. Ruler ( optional )




Use the ruler to measure out desired size. I cut out 4x4 squares

I cut out 15 squares and used three different scent combinations. For a calming blend, use one drop each of chamomile, lavender and rosewood per square. This is nice for sheets. Do not use more than 5 drops of e.o. per square to be safe that it will not get oil on clothing once in the dryer.

I put them in snack bags and labeled them so they would keep their smell and be ready to use. You could also use any airtight container. Re -scent the squares once the essential oils fade after 2 or 3 times use.

Nice and inexspensive essential oils to use are lavender, lemon, and orange. you can also add a few drops to your wash, with baking soda and vinegar as a fabric softener, making them multi-purpose , cost effective and safe for you and the environment.

Wrecklace driving Jan 29th, 2008

Tonight I drove off the road, I didn't slide of the road, I just drove right off while reading a text message. Yah, I know, I hate to even admit it, life is about making bad choices and learning from them, right? It was a good lesson learned, especially after I realized I was so stuck that I was going to have to leave my car there and walk the remaining 3 miles home in the dark. I got home around midnight. A car even went flying by me and didn't stop.

Relaxing while pumping water Feb 2008

Knock yourself out! I will! Feb 8th,2008

Being lazy by not shoveling out my chopping block led to my bruised eye. A piece of wood flew up after chopping it, and it hit me right on the eye. So I immediatly grabbed a handful of snow and held it over my eye, while wondering if I had poked my eye out.

Got wood? No, but I need some! Feb 11th 2008

My mom and dad came over today with a load of wood and some propane( I'm running out!). We had to haul it up on a sled. After the chores were done we went into town and loaded up on a yummy hot pizza and salad.

Love to ski Feb 14th 2008

Sicker than a dog, March 1st, 2008

I can't remember the last time I was this sick. What is wrong with me I wonder? Waking up so cold, shaking, shivering, in so much pain having to rock back and forth to ease a little of it. I could barely get out of bed to get down the ladder to feed the pets, let alone chop wood and get the fire going. See I don't really plan ahead. Then I realized my cell phone was dying, and the charger was in my car wich was at the bottom of the driveway, almost an 1/8th of a mile away. So I made a quick call to my ex-boyfriend for help. knowing he was the closest person that would help me, what a nice guy. It seemed like forever before I heard the waaaaah waaaaah of his sled ripping up the hill, I was feeling sicker by the minute. He had a bag of relief with him, juice, nyquil, crackers. After he started a nice warm fire he quickly took off and once again I felt alone and helpless. The next morning I woke up, cold and weak, and knew I couldn't take care of myself, and once again called my ex-boyfriend to come rescue me. He took me to town and dropped me off at my parents where I recovered quickly under the care of my mom.
