The Last Week of Advent…via Jesse Tree ornaments!

This is the LAST week of Advent via the Jesse Tree Ornaments, from the Jesse Tree Ornament Swap organized by Michelle at Liturgical Time.

With December 1st being a Sunday this year, this is the shortest season of Advent possible. We actually have a couple extra ornaments to accommodate other years, when Advent includes more days! For no purposes other than to show them off, here are the remaining 7 ornaments!

3 Kings off to a late (or early?) start

 If you have been watching my blog, you may have noticed that I don’t tend to do things the easy way.  If there is something I can makefor our own family set, I do.  I spend a lot of time making Catholic Printables, but sometimes I just need to make stuff, with felt, scissors and glue.

want to transform your Christmas celebration?

  “Would you like to transform your Christmas celebration from 12 hours of frenzied merry making to 12 days of festive and prayerful celebration?”    

This 12 Days of Christmas project was created by a fascinating company I was blessed to discover at the Catholic Marketing Network this past summer.

This team of song writer, choir, crafter and designers have created a jammed packed craft kit focused on their beautifully sung version of the 12 Days of Christmas, explaining   the Catholic/Christian meanings of the song.
