Getting them while they’re young

My young niece and cousins know all too well my obsession with sloths. Today was a month since my birthday so I packed up my cards that had been sitting out since then, and realised I forgot to post about this card that my 7 year old cousin made for me:

Not sure, but I think that’s a dolphin on top of the winner’s podium. And I may have seen recently on Facebook that she now has a toy sloth of her very own! Talk about having a positive influence!

Go, Sports!

I’ve started playing “competitive” netball for the first time in about 10 years the last two weeks. Having short quarters and having a better level of fitness these days helps, but I still struggle. Also I took a flying leap tonight (necessary when you’re as short as me) and landed on my right side. Put it this way, I’ll never put shit on someone with a pulled groin again. Ouch.

I found this cute motivating sloth from Charly Clements Illustration and he helped get me through! (PS: check out the link for some cute sloth birthday and Xmas cards!)

No Make-Up Selfie

Everyone is posting No Make-Up Selfies to Facebook to raise breast cancer awareness. I understand the sentiment, but as a breast cancer researcher, can’t really see the point unless you are donating to the cause as well. Keep in mind that dollars make discoveries, but cameras don’t make cures!

LOTR Sloths

I forgot to mention that I went to see the second “Hobbit” movie a couple weeks ago. Loved it! But then I love all the LOTR movies anyway :) Check out these Lord of the Rings sloths by S.WatercolourLOTR sloths

Origami Sloths
