Savta Sue

Savta Sue is an actress. She likes doing pilates and swimming, loves the beach and Tel Aviv life and Israeli dancing too. She also enjoys iced coffees, her daughter-in-law told me. There was plenty to put on her birthday card!

I have shown Safta Sue (Savta or Safta is the Hebrew word for Grandmother) Israeli folk dancing. Her daughter-in-law told me that she usually wears three-quarter length culottes and a light loose T-shirt for dancing, so I tried to show her in the right outfit. She has an iced coffee in her hand. Behind her is a stage with sweeping red curtains and a backdrop showing a gorgeous Tel Aviv sunset. A towel lies on the stage and she has swimming goggles on top of her head to represent her love of swimming. A big number 75 marks her age.

Sue loved her card and her daughter-in-law remarked "Lisa Isaacs does it again!"

This mum turned 70. Her daughter told me that she is a photographer and an adventure traveller, as well as being a grandma to seven. She also enjoys learning and helps many people study Jewish scriptures and more.
Obviously this lady enjoys being outdoors so I showed her, camera in hand, at the beach. The background photo I used is in fact one of her recent photos! But her daughter stressed that learning is also important to her, so I popped a copy of the Hebrew Bible (תנך) under her arm.
Mum apparently had great expectations with this card, since she has received others made by me previously. You can see them here and here. I hope that this one was a success too!
