Aron plays the bass guitar, enjoys playing rugby, and watching the Premier League football club Chelsea F. C.. He is a keen Scout, likes camping, and he also enjoys woodworking.
I have shown him with his bass guitar on the cover of his album. There is a saw and some wood to his left. On the right is the Chelsea F.C. crest, a rugby ball and posts, the Scouts logo, and a green tent. The background is blue, Aron's preferred colour.
I took the album to the UK myself when we travelled there for our nephew's Bar Mitzvah. I happened to be around shortly after Aron received his gift and he seemed thrilled with it! He couldn't believe that I had branded his bass guitar correctly (I had requested a photo of it) and loved all the details that I had included. It was delightful to see someone enjoying my work first-hand.
I embellished several pages inside the album. Each page, like the cover, has a black and white striped tallit (Jewish prayer shawl) on it since many boys begin to wear a tallit from the age of Bar Mitzvah, 13. In addition to the tallit, each embellished page took on a theme. The first page featured Aron's black bass guitar once again. Next I added a rugby ball and some goal posts, then Chelsea F.C.'s crest, followed by a woodworking themed page. Finally, I created a page devoted to the Scouts and Aron's love of camping.This album was a lot of fun to work on, and the way it was received made all my

really nice, lisa!
You certainly do put a lot of research and effort into every card. It's such a great idea to personalize them this way and I'm sure they are treasured. xx
