Scented Letters

For our Soldiers, especially Female Soldiers, I like too try and make the letters smell good. It is pretty easy. I have a jewlery box a friend made for me. Its large, over a foot tall, and wide. It is wooden. The top of it lifts, too reveal a hidden compartment. Envelopes fit just right in there. {You can also use a shoe box. Oils can be bought at any store really I think.}

My Mom gave me a box of scented oils for a present. I never really used them. To store them I put them in the top compartment of the jewlery box. I was looking for a pair of earrings, and noticed how good it smelled. The scented oils had seeped into the velvet lining. Myrr, sandelwood, lavendar. So, I decided to keep envelopes in there. When I write a letter, I put it in there overnight, them mail it the next day.

I don't know if perfume on letters is good. Because perfume can become stale. Plus that seems a bit obvious. The oils, scent it without seeming overbearing.

Just a little something to make the letters a bit nicer? If the contents aren't that thrilling at least it smells good!!
