Equipping Catholic Families

 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. I’m not an expert sewer (wow, did I just call myself an artificial, usually underground conduit for carrying off sewage or rainwater ?) but I have decided that the little flaws in my sewing projects are what make them so unique.

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

As promised, these are the next 7 days of our Jesse Tree Ornaments, from the Jesse Tree Ornament Swap organized by Michelle at Liturgical Time.

This is the first time ever, my family has jumped into the Jesse Tree tradition.

First, I received an awesome 28-piece set of Jesse Tree ornament from Jesse Tree Treasures

…and then I made our Handprint Jesse Tree banner to display them!

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.

A few weeks ago, we showcased our Jesse Tree Treasures and hosted a giveaway of the beautifully crafted 28 piece set.

Each wooden disk has a beautifully painted image representing the Scripture leading to the Birth of Jesus.
