Marbled Stone Scents
Use these lightly scented stones as a base to hold dried
flowers in a pretty vase. The scent will last for several months.

3/4 C (175mL) All-purpose flour
3/4C (175mL) Salt
3/4 C (175mL) Boiling water
2 tsp. (10mL) Fragrance Oil (use more or less as desired)
Food coloring

combine flour and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in center.
Pour boiling water and fragrance oil into well. Scent will be strong, but does fade while drying.
Knead in food coloring with over working until a marbled effect is created. With
dampened hands, shape dough into irregular-shaped stones. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in 200* F (95*C) oven, with oven door slightly open, for 2 to 21/2 hours, turning after 1 hour, until hardened.
