An 80th Birthday and a Happy Anniversary

Safta (the Hebrew word for Grandmother) was turning 80 but unfortunately it was during Israel's recent lockdown, so the family could not be together to celebrate her big day. Her daughter-in-law therefore asked me to make a special card which she intended to photograph and send to Safta by Whatsapp.
I showed Safta holding a big chocolate cake with the number 80 in candles. She is surrounded by balloons and bunting and I added a few Israeli flags since she and her husband have recently moved here permanently.
Her daughter-in-law said the card was perfect!
Safta and Saba (the Hebrew word for Grandfather) also recently celebrated their wedding anniversary. Their daughter-in-law came back to me once again with a request for another card.
This time I showed the couple on the card. They are enjoying a glass of champagne to celebrate their anniversary. Saba is wearing the pale blue cap that his family says he always wears. In front of them is the opened bottle of champagne and a pink rose.
Despite restrictions, I hope they had a lovely day.

Lovely cards. I'm sure they helped to make up for having to celebrate during the Coronavirus restrictions. xx
