The Jesse Tree Day 1


We are trying something new in our house this year for the 25 days leading up to Christmas.

I was asked to be involved in a "Jesse Tree" project. It is basically 25 people taking 1 of the 25 days & making 25 ornaments for that day. Then you all get together & bring your finished wrapped ornaments & take one of each day's ornaments so you have a complete set. It was really fun to see the creativity of the women in this group. We were also able to buy the book "The Advent Jesse Tree" by Dean Meador Lambert & get a table top fake tree for a minimal charge. I bought a tote to put it all in for storage for the rest of the year.
I am going to try to post a picture daily of the ornament that we unwrapped. So here goes:
