Bath Salts
1 c. Epsom salts
Measuring cup
2 jars with lids
2 colored of liquid food color
1 pretty 8 oz. Jar
A few drops of your favorite perfume

To make these good smelling bath salts, first measure 1/2 cup of Epsom salt into each jar with a lid. Add 15 drops of food color to each jar, one color per jar and put on the lids. Shake the jars until the Epsom salts are dyed evenly. If you want your colors to be darker, add more food color and shake again. Take off the lids and let the salts dry overnight. Now, make sure your pretty jar is all clean and dry.
Then pour the dyed bath salts into the jar, alternating colors (you may want to get colors that go together well). Add a couple of drops of perfume to the bath salts, put on the lid and tie the jar with your pretty ribbon. Now you have a really nice present to bless someone with.

2 oz. deer's tongue herb

1 oz. peony flowers
1 oz. bay leaves
20 drops orris root oil
10 drops blue lilac oil

Use only glass, wooden or ceramic container and utensils. Add oils with an atomizer or spritzer or eye dropper.

Apple Potpourri
1 c. dried apple slices

10 sm. Pinecones
7 drops cinnamon oil
Combine all ingredients and place in a tight jar or tin. Shake every few days. Cinnamon oil has an extremely strong scent that intensifies as it is absorbed. Add additional oil if needed. The red sumac berries that grow wild can be used dried as a stablizer for potpourri (in other recipes it takes the place of orris root which is very expensive). I used sumac berries instead of nandina berries in this recipe.
