About our Jesse Tree Ornaments
Jesse Tree ornaments are approximately 1/4" thick and 2 3/8” in diameter. The front side features a colorful image made from high resolution photos of our felt ornaments. The images have been printed on vellum with a permanent adhesive backing. The back side indicates the day the ornament is to be hung, and both the Bible verse and the chapter to read in the book, Unwrapping the Greatest Gift: A Family Celebration of Christmas by Ann Voskamp (please note, the book is not included). You will also receive a velour drawstring bag for storage and a colorfully illustrated pamphlet. If you do not have the book, you can simply use a regular Bible and follow the scriptures outlined in the pamphlet or the back of the ornament.

Each wood slat is 1/4" thick and the pieces have been hand-painted and sanded to give it a beautiful rustic look. The tree is intended to have an aged, distressed look. The tree is approximately 27" tall and 16" wide. You can choose "Tabletop Tree" which will include the tree base so that it can stand up freely or "Wall Mount Tree" which has a bracket on the back side so that you can easily hang it.

What is a Jesse Tree?
During the advent season, the tradition of the Jesse Tree is the perfect way to countdown the days until Christmas. This ornament set was designed to correspond with the readings from the book, Unwrapping the Greatest Gift: A Family Celebration of Christmas by Ann Voskamp (please note, the book is not included). This holiday tradition is a wonderful way to engage and educate kids of all ages and it helps to keep Jesus at the center of the season.
Our Jesse Tree ornament sets are to be used in the same way you would use a traditional Christmas advent calendar. There is an ornament for each day December 1st through Christmas Day. Each ornament symbol represents a story from the Bible. These stories help to walk you through the lineage of Jesus, starting with creation and ending with his birth. During the month of December, we are reminded of God's plan to give us the gift of forgiveness and salvation through Jesus his son.
Baby Whatknots
Meet the Maker
Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a stay at home Mom to three wonderful children. I started my Baby WhatKnots business in 2010 and I truly enjoy what I do. God has blessed me with an amazing husband and three wonderful children. I would love to share with you how I started my business and how God has led me right where I need to be.
A Blessing in Disguise
In 2009, during the economic downturn, I was laid off from my job. At the time, my husband and I were expecting our first child and I was 8 months pregnant. The plan had always been for me to be a working mom; day care, car pool, the whole thing. After I lost my job, I quickly scrambled to return things back to normal. I remember taking my big old belly on several interviews and never receiving a call back.
My daughter was born several weeks later and it didn't take long for me to realize that I wanted to stay home with her. I just couldn’t imagine having to go back to work. After she was born, I started to make her accessories. It started with burp cloths and blankets and then moved on to pacifier clips and hair bows. It was something that I enjoyed doing and it wasn’t long before I had friends and family requesting items from me.
In 2010 I opened my first online store and started selling my creations. Several years ago, I came across the concept of the Jesse Tree. I started to make and sell sets in my shop and local community and my business has now grown to selling hundreds of sets a year. I am so grateful that God has blessed me in so many ways and given me this opportunity to spread the Gospel.
I look back now and know that God had a plan for me all along. I felt so scared and defeated the day that I lost my job. I was so confused about what God was doing but I’ve learned now that even when things don't make sense, I need to trust Him.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
