We had our swap on November 23rd, 2013 and it was a success! The mom’s loved it and had an enjoyable evening out. We all came home with 25 unique and beautiful handmade ornaments! We even made 3 ornaments at the swap and that was perfect. It gave our hands something to do while we talked. I would definitely repeat that for a future small swap. My children had a blast when they found the bag of Jesse Tree ornaments the next morning. I’m very excited to share with them the Bible story with coordinating ornament each day in December. Thank you crafty mamas for signing up and for a wonderful evening of chatting and friendship!

Did you use a particular reference for your Jesse Tree devotions? Love the ornaments!
There are several free Jesse Tree devotionals online. I found this googling real quick: https://www.rca.org/resources/jesse-tree-family-devotions. We have the Bible Story books that I will read the lesson for. I adore these books and we read them at bedtime. http://www.thebiblestory.com
