Sorry for your loss Lynn49, and THANKYOU for your insight on this, I am certainly going to try making my own. I have been skeptical for a long time about all the air freshners but never did anything about it.

The decision is, of course, yours. I just wanted to bring this to your attention; our kids are physically slower, unhealthier, than my generation was.....and aren't expected to out-live the age of even my parents! What on earth
are we doing to them?!
Sorry...but I'm still recovering from her death and am not in the frame of mind to snort chemicals made by P&G.

Got mine - it went to our old address, and husband went to pick up mail there from the week. Don't know how long it was in there, but it was frozen, and it's thawing now... smells great!
