I've been planning to start a Jesse tree next year, so thanks for posting your link...I now have all the ornaments written down so I can shop the after Christmas clearance racks!

BTW...I know Emily of (the former) Domestic Notebook from a playgroup. Had no idea her blog was "national"! Small world...

Blessings,
