newbie with questions and my intro

Hi, I am , and am 35 years old. I am from Berks County, PA.

I am a homeschool mom of two boys. I am happily married since 91.

My favorite essential oil is Tea Tree, use it for everything. I just

add it to my commecial shampoos and lotions, but would love to make

my own. I also love to garden and have herbs growing about my yard.

I live in an old farmhouse and have a huge garden. I love to eat

healthy...but also love a Big Mac or nice bloody steak once in a

while lol.

I recently visited a homemade soap store and was intrigued by the

products. I bought a witch hazel with tea tree and dried orange peel

toner that I just love. I would love to make this for gifts for my

friends.

I also got a perfume in a roller called Dragons blood. I love it!

She mixed it right in front of me and I saw her use Patchouli, but do

not know what else..I would love to find out...anyone know? I would

love to find out books or websites that have recipes to make

fragrances...she had home fragrances too, such as egg nogg, she made

using a recipe she had written down...where can I find these secret

recipes?

Also a wonderful brown sugar scrub with almond oil and other things

in it. its called Candy and its great!!!

I am excited to be in the group and I will post any things I make and

have luck with. Thanks for having me in the group!
