Sloth Cards

It’s that time of year again… the hectic shopping, the crowds, the empty wallet… don’t forget to take time out and remember what the season is really about – BEING A SLOTH!

Spotted today in Presence gift shop – Slothy cards to give your loved ones!sloth cards1

Hannakin Sloth Prints

I love seeing sloths when I am out and about! It just puts the biggest smile on my face knowing a) that there are people out there after my own heart and b) that sloths are putting a little bit of joy into others’ lives.

Whilst in Melbourne, stumbled upon a little market on Sunday morning. Little stall selling gorgeous archival prints and greeting cards. I spotted a few whimsical sloths among them!

Happy Easter Sloth Friends!

It’s Easter Sunday today! Started with a family brunch complete with croissants, hot cross buns, sparkling moscato, and chocolate eggs of course. slothandrabbit

My little cousins also made Easter cards for the boy and I.

I got a card with a sloth coming out of an Easter egg, did you?

Woolworths Super Animals sloth card NSFW

Managed to get one of the Woolworths Super Animals cards featuring the three-toed pygmy sloth.

The cool thing about this promotion for kids is that they can get a sound reader which, when you swipe the card through it, makes the animal sound of that card. I was really interested in the noise that the sloth card made! My little cousin happened to have one of the sound readers, and, well… have a listen.

Now, I’m not sure what the Woolworths promotional/research team was thinking when they picked this noise for the sloth. If you don’t know already, that noise, the screaming noise, is the sound of a sloth mating call. The noise a female sloth makes to attract males and tell them she is in heat.

Yeah. That’s right. All your kids are listening to horny sloths looking to get it on.

Woolworths Super Animal sloth card

Did you know that in Woolworths’ current Super Animal Cards promo that you might find a Super Sloth card??

It’s a sound card too! If someone comes across one I’d love to know what the sound that they chose is. I hope it’s one of these.

 

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!

It’s My Birthday and I’ll Sleep if I Want To

Yesterday was my birthday. I had a busy day at work, but did get very spoilt by family and friends.

So here is the big news:
The boy is organizing for me to MEET A SLOTH. Pet it, feed it, interact with it. I am BESIDE MYSELF. As they only allow two people at a time, once a month, I have to wait until July at this stage. And if it shuns you, you have to leave. If I get shunned by the sloth I will literally cry. Watch this space, it’s going to be AMAZING.
