These are the Jesse Tree figures each family made for our Jesse Tree Ornament Swap last night! I'll add pictures of CREATION, ADAM AND EVE, and NOAH later.

Wow! Could your ornaments be more gorgeous? I love them.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I LOVE your blog!! http://karenedmisten.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThe ones my family made are definately 'the least of these', but we were so pleased to be recipients of such unabashed creativity. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for the kind words! I love the ornament swap idea. I know that *my* contributions would be a "least of these" sort, but what a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteI am a grandma who is just humbled and totally excited with the work you are all doing. What a delight to see you all take your family as your holy mission. God bless each of you and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments are wonderful, what memories you have given your children.
I am a quilter who is working on a "Jesse Tree" quilt. Our grandchildren, when visiting can wrap up and we will have a little talk about Jesus.
