St. Patrick's Day Addendum

OK, with the green filler, I think that the white candle can stay.



This looks more like it, right?

WINNERS!

Our Team is a winner!

We have winners!
Cenci and Nancy!

 

Cenci decided on the Chocolate Travel Cup
and
Nancy's choice is the Chocolate Small Casserole!
Congratulations and thank you all for your February Sales!

St. Patrick's Day?

Oh yes! I L-O-V-E my Small Fill-It Hurricane! For St. Pat's Day, it is filled with gold covered chocolate coins. I really think that a Flowering Sage 3" X 6" Pillar Candle would look best, but sometimes we just use what we have, right? Anyway, I hope that this gives you another idea for this fun Longaberger piece!

Your Choice!

Because we haven't had a good incentive in a while...
Because we need sales so desperately in February...
Because I love ya...
 

For every $150 in sales that you submit in February,
your name will go in the drawing for one of these two items!
Your choice~
Chocolate Travel Cup
or
Chocolate Small Casserole

Oh, and they will both be given away.
There will be two winners!

Ready?
Set?
Sell!

Merry Christmas!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas Carols are most beautiful in your church. Your family time is most important. Your thoughts are of the Christ child and the greatest gift. This is where you should be.

It can be so easy to turn off your Longaberger business at this time and if you choose to do so, that is the beauty of Longaberger. However, I encourage you to
Keep Your Business Open Through the Holidays!
This is your busiest time of year, and as we hustle and bustle, we encounter more people than ever before. As you plan holiday parties and get-togethers, think about all the people you see who maybe you haven’t seen for quite some time. When you are out and about, be ready to share what you know and love about Longaberger. Don't miss the bargains for you and your customers. We have some very exciting sales Now and coming up.

Praline Apple Pie Recipe

This is my very favorite fall pie!  

Let's start with my very favorite pie plate.

Woven Traditions® Grandma Bonnie’s™ Pie Plate

Item #34479POT

This pie plate is perfect for any pie or dessert your family loves. At the Longaberger home, one pie served four family members. Big slices for big appetites, but if you do have leftovers, don’t forget the Woven Dish Cover for easy storage. Also great for quiche, fruit, veggies or appetizers. Woven Dish Cover is Dishwasher Safe.
9"d; Capacity: 32 ounces

Recipe

Plush Pippin Apple Pie, $3 at Walmart!  (I haven't found these wonderful pies in several years, so I stocked my freezer)

Move the frozen pie from the container and place in your Longaberger Pie Plate.  Bake according to package instructions, maybe a little longer.  Cool one hour.

Praline Topping

1/2 stick butter

1C firmly packed brown sugar

1/3 C whipping cream

1t vanilla

1 C powdered sugar

3/4C chopped pecans, toasted

Bring butter, brown sugar and whipping cream to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium, heat, stirring often.  Boil one minute.  Remove from heat.  Whisk in vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth.  Pour praline mixture slowly over pie, spreading to cover.  Sprinkle with toasted pecans.

Enjoy! 

Oh, and sell some pie plates!  Include this recipe!
