Sarah and Kerry

My customer received one of my cards for her own 50th birthday last year and has since started asking me for cards for her friends too! Her friend Sarah's 50th birthday was in October 2024. Sarah likes reading, baking, and is a dental nurse. Apparently she is always losing her glasses as well!

I have shown Sarah with a book in one hand and a toothbrush in the other! A big white tooth is next to her. I added a mixing bowl and a spatula, and, in the background, some chocolate chip cookies, a cupcake and a wooden spoon, to represent her love for baking. Some teeny tiny glasses are hiding just behind her.

My customer loved the card. "I just picked it up. It's great!!!" she wrote to me.

Kerry was also celebrating her 50th birthday. Her sister-in-law told me that she is in to meditation, loves the beach and, in her words, is "zany". She wanted to me to include an Israeli flag on the card and also told me that Kerry likes spicy food.

I have shown Kerry sitting cross-legged and meditating on the beach. Her left hand shows the correct placement for meditation. It is called gyan mudra and is a sacred hand gesture or 'seal' used to direct energy and maintain focus. Kerry is waving the Israeli flag with her right hand.

I added a little pot of red spices and a chili pepper. A big red number 50 marks her age, and a banner below that brands her as "zany".
