Remove the roast from the crock pot when done, set aside and keep warm.

Linen Spray




Homemade Linen Spray


1 teaspoon essential oil (I like lavender)

1/4 cup witch hazel (you can substitute this with vodka, cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol)

3 1/2 cups water

Just spray on your sheets every morning when you make the bed. You can use this on tablecloths or any linens. It dries quickly and leaves a wonderful scent that smells so good when you turn down your sheets at night.

The witch hazel or alcohol is used as an emulsifier to keep the oil and water from separating. You can make it without, but you'll need to shake it very well to get it to mix together without leaving oily spots. I recommend using the emulsifier.
