AL and Penny's Favorite way to use Pine
Needle
Since Penny is allergic to molds that grow
on dying plants and
fresh Christmas trees just happen
to fall into that category,
we now have an artificially tree. We did
miss the aroma of the
pine and with the Pine Needle oil are
able to enjoy the festive
smell of our artificial tree! The
tree looks real and the smell
has fooled many family members! Just place
a few drops on a cotton ball and hide among the branches!
