At Crafty Bear Crafts we strive to make each item uniquely yours. Whether it is a fleece blanket with your graduate's school, name, and year on it or a bib with your child’s birth information. Each item is created to show the recipient how much you care for them!



Our top picks for the 2009 holiday season are:


1. The fleece scarves. Everyone can use them. They are lightweight but still keep the warmth in. At $10 each they make a great gift.

2. Fleece Blankets. Just like the scarf, these are lightweight but still keep you warm. Measuring 50” x 60” they are even big enough to share. Coming in at $23 ($25 with carrying strap) they are a steal and a great way to show team spirit.

3. For the little ones we have pull over bibs. White terrycloth washes up great. They are a generous size to cover the front and the neck will even fit over some toddlers so it could be used when doing crafts. They make a great fit and even a stocking stuffer at $6.50



SPECIALS: Right now until December 5, 2009 we are running a special. 10% off your order (before shipping). Mention ReallyWorkingFromHome.com to recieve this offer. All orders will be sent out by December 19, 2009.

1 ¾ c. flour
1 tsp soda
½ tsp salt
½ c. sugar
½ c. brown sugar, packed
½ c. shortening
½ c. peanut butter
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingredients, except candy, in large mixing bowl. Mix on lowest speed of mixer until dough forms. Shape dough into balls, using a rounded teaspoonful for each. Roll balls in sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Top each cookie immediately with a chocolate kiss and press down firmly so cookie cracks around the edge. Yields 48 cookies.

Sherrill's favorite family Christmas Recipe

"One of our family's traditional Christmas recipes is Peppernuts or Pfeffernusse. These little German anise/spice cookies can be eaten by the handful! We gather as many family members as possible together and make double batches to share with family and friends. Even the little kids can help by rolling the ropes of dough and placing the miniature cookies on the trays. It is a long day but the aroma lasts in our house for days!"



Peppernuts


1 cup shortening                 
1 tsp. soda
4 cups brown sugar            
2 T. hot water
4 eggs                                
1 tsp. cinnamon
6 drops anise oil                
1 tsp. cloves
6 2/3 cups flour                 
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cream of tartar

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs; beat well. Add oil and soda dissolved in water. Add flour, spices, & cream of tartar. Chill for an hour and then roll dough into long thin ropes. Chill again. Slice dough less than 1/4 inch thick. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 375 degrees for 8-10 min. Cool. Store in air-tight containers. Will keep for several months if well hidden.

Yields 1 1/2 gal.





♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Christmas Notes from Sherrill ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪

I love to share my products year around but especially this time of year. Isn't it great to give and get unique gifts that not just everyone can buy at a store? I don't know about you, but I like to wear a different fragrance than every other woman around. With wonderful skin care products, anti-aging treatments, glamour items, and scented accessories, we have just the thing for women, teens, and men on your gift lists. All of our gifts are 100% guaranteed to please.



One of my favorites this season is our new sugar scrub with matching lotion and light fragrance spray. When you layer fragrance on your skin, it lingers without being overpowering. All 4 fragrances are so easy to wear. One or more is sure to fit the bill. Choose from Warm Amber, Exotic Passionfruit, Simply Cotton, or Sparkling Honeysuckle.




For your feet and legs especially after Christmas shopping or baking days, pamper your tired tootsies with mint bliss leg and foot treatment. For wonderful soft smooth hands try our Satin Hands set. (note from MariLee: I own the Mint Bliss lotion and it is my favorite! You will not be disappointed!)









You can check out all our products at www.marykay.com/syoder




Specials: If you do not have a Consultant working with you, you can order from my web site. Shipping is complementary and when your order is over $40 I will include a free sparkling Holiday lip gloss.


Thank you and have a glorious Christmas!

Chrissy's favorite family Christmas Recipe


Peppermint Fudge Cookie Sandwiches

"Sandwiching a creamy peppermint patty between warm brownie cookies creates an irresistible sweet treat."

¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels

¼ cup butter
½ cup sugar
1 egg
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup white or semi-sweet chocolate morsels

2 candy canes or 8-10 peppermint hard candies (about ¼ cup crushed)
10-12 mini foil-wrapped peppermint patty candies, unwrapped

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line Large Sheet Pan with a 10-in. sheet of Parchment Paper. Combine chocolate morsels and butter in Classic Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 40-60 seconds or until smooth, stirring after each 20-second interval using Classic Scraper. Add sugar and egg to batter bowl; mix until well blended. Add flour; mix just until flour is incorporated. Using Small Scoop, drop 20 level scoops of batter, 1 in. apart, onto pan. Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are set. (Do not overbake.) Meanwhile, place candy canes into resealable plastic bag; crush using flat side of Meat Tenderizer and set aside. Place white chocolate morsels into Small Micro-Cooker®; microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 30-60 seconds or until melted and smooth, stirring once. Set aside. Remove sheet pan from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack. Immediately turn over half of the cookies using Mini-Serving Spatula; top with peppermint patties and remaining cookies to form 10 sandwiches. Drizzle chocolate over cookies and immediately sprinkle with crushed candies. Transfer to platter. Line pan with additional parchment and scoop with remaining batter. Bake 9-10 minutes. Assemble as directed above.

♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Christmas Notes from Chrissy ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪

My top picks for the season are the snowman plates (set of 4 costs $21.50) and of course THE DEEP COVERED BAKER!! ($69.00) I love the deep covered baker!! You can make a whole chicken in the microwave in 30 Minutes!! It would make the best gift for moms on the go that do not have a lot of time to make dinner. Throw some stuff in it and throw it in the microwave. People that like the crockpot, Clean up of the deep covered baker in a fraction of the time that it takes to clean up the crockpot, (scrape it, rinse it, put it back!!)


Another top pick is the weekday dinners done recipe collection. A 2 week meal planner with 10 recipes, 2 grocery lists and a well stocked pantry check list. The entire weeks worth of food is 15 items or less, all of the recipes cost $2.00 a serving and take 25 minutes or less to prepare. ($6.50)

Another top pick is the Easy and Impressive Appetizers cookbook. ($7.50)

Also...there are so many things in the catalog that are $10.00 or less.



The Pampered Chef makes a GREAT gift!! Everyone cooks whether they like it or not!! Why not make the kitchen an enjoyable place to be. My goal is to get families back at the dinner table and make dinner easy!! You want to buy from the Pampered Chef because you will get me as your personal consultant. I am here to make sure you love your products and make sure that they are making a difference in your kitchen!
