Since I remember, my mother always had wonderful smelling potpourri around the house. Every month she would change the fragrance so the house would have a different inviting new smell! Sometimes it was a lovely gardenia scented potpourri and other times, lilac or merlot. Of course when I moved out and got my own home, this nice tradition became part of my life too! Now, all my children have moved out and I’m on my own. I needed to find a hobby to fill my empty days with and making something useful out of different looking and smelling potpourris, sounded like fun!
So, I sat down and brain stormed for a while and then I had an idea of making lovely fragrant potpourri balls made out of a sponge material. I started with digging out a 2 inch hole at the top of the sponge ball. Then I filled it with an essential oil for the sponge to absorb and boost up the aroma, before I covered it with colorful, fragrant potpourri. To finish it off I added a beautiful silk ribbon, so you could hang it, as either a lovely accent to your home or for giving a nice potpourri fragrance to all your clothes in your closet or drawers. I’m having a lot of fun plus I don’t have to worry about what to give for birthdays and Christmas’s anymore!

Me and my girlfriends always fight over which one gets to use her favorite Scented Candles, reed diffusers, or potpourri for our intimate dorm parties. I mean, we can’t have lots of different aromas floating around the room; people will get dizzy, so we decided to have a contest. The one that would make the best argument for their favorite one would win, and get to use it at our parties for a whole month. Of course we got into a fight when we’re all trying to convince each other why one is better than the other.
