Hello and Happy Poetry Friday! I am off today to Universal with my family to celebrate my daughter’s 10th birthday! How is it possible for her to be into 2-digits already?
Last week, I posted a picture of my adventure themed costume for the SCBWI Miami Conference. I thought I’d include a reference photo this week for those of you who have never seen Sloth from the 80s movie, The Goonies.
I also want to share all of the wonderful postcards that have arrived over the past weeks. Each one was such a treasure to receive and they brightened my day every time. So THANK YOU! And thank you to Jone for organizing the swap. I feel like I have made so many friends through poetry and I am so grateful for it.
And lastly, while not poetry related, I wanted to share a giveaway that I am doing. I will be giving away a copy of Fresh Princess by and Gladys Jose. If you’d like to enter, please click on this link and leave a comment on the giveaway post.
Sloth Reads 
I’m sure I saw The Goonies, but just don’t remember the pic! My younger granddaughter celebrated her ‘half’ birthday this week, was so excited she could now say she was eight and a half! Birthdays are special, and double-digit ten is VERY special. Yes, those postcards are wonderful to receive, I agree. Happy weekend!

Thanks for the background knowledge about Sloth, Becky. Is this character why your blog is called Sloth Reads! You were not on my list to send out a Poetry Postcard but I shared it on PF today for all those who did not receive one from me. The book giveaway is great. Thanks for sharing that book. I looked it up that the the “Fresh Princess is the perfect book to encourage kids to proudly stand out and be themselves!” What a great statement. Books like these are needed in classrooms.

Actually, the sloth in “Sloth Reads” is just because I love the animal–it is my favorite. My roller derby name was Sloth as well, for the same reason. But then one day, I realized that my favorite Goonies character was also called Sloth! It just worked out that way. 🙂

Happy Birthday to your daughter! Oh, I remember turning double digits so well. It’s such a milestone…until you realize that you are really still a kid and kid rules still apply. LOL! I love how you displayed your postcards in a collage. I’m collage happy these days. Fresh Princess looks great!

I kind of miss scrapbooking for that reason. I miss doing collages. 🙂

Happy birthday to your daughter. My younger daughter turns 25 tomorrow–that’s hard for me to believe, too. I never saw that movie, but the costume sure looks fun! And thanks for sharing all the wonderful postcards, too.
