Getting Wrapped Up
Just a quick post before I venture out to finish up the last minute errands and grocery shopping. Curt and I have been wrapping presents all morning and our sweet little Love Bird Parsley has been helping.
Parsley is 14 years old which is a little old lady for sure for a Love Bird, but she acts no different than she did as a youngster really. She loves to bite and shred paper and had a ball helping Curt with the wrapping.
She certainly doesn’t get as much press as the big birds, Macaws Beaker and R.B., but we do love her!
While I’m here I’ll also share this jumbo binder clip I made awhile back. When I saw this idea on SCS I just had to try it. This was one of the ideas I had for everyone in my office before I decided to make the Reindeer Food. These would make great holders for a photo or a special card, or as placecards at dinner. The really do need the ribbon tied tight around the top to keep the clips tight enough to hold something. I’m thinking I might make a variation for Valentine’s Day. Easy peasy quick project.
I hope you are enjoying this weekend before Christmas. I fear there are more things to do on my list than I can actually accomplish, but we’ll see. Breathe in..breathe out…remain calm…focus on the Reason for the Season…exude joy…that’s the ideal…continue to pray for calm and focus…
Merry Christmas!!! :) Thanks for stopping by amid the holiday rush!
She is so pretty! And helpful, too, apparently
That clip is great - I may have to try one of those soon. Merry Christmas!
Oh so sweet!!! Shes adorable!! Love that wrapping paper! I have a feeling most of us Demos trees will be overflowing with that gorgeous stuf!!
Marry Christmas Jami!!
Awwwww, Parsley!!! Come visit Texas anytime, you darling helper!!
I completely understand the last minute rush … I’m in the midst of tags & ribbons before our children and our little guys arrive later this morning for our family celebration! Although I certainly cannot sway from my current work …. I do love these clips & adornments! Wow! You go girl, Jami! I’ll check back later … ahead of you, I believe, on that “Oh why did I eat so much?” sentiment! I can feel it coming, Jami! Yikes!
Merry Christmas!

I am in love with Parsley! She is just beautiful and looks like a lot of fun, too.
That’s the sweetest thing evah! Tfs, Jami.
All of the goodies and stamped items are also very, very lovely, of course!
Everything looks wonderful! Love all of your festive pictures of getting things done for Christmas. TFS
Thank you for your love bird photos. Pets are a big part of our lives.
Parsley is so cute! I loved my peach faced baby for years (Mickey). He also loved to shred paper and help out. I’m glad you had a wonderful Christmas and PJ day!
HOW FUNNY!! Great pics
