Sisters, Sisters, There Were Never Such Devoted Sisters

Happy New Year! For my first post of 2022 I have a custom made birthday card to show you, made for someone who regularly buys my cards and has them bought for her.

Mizzie's was going to be in England for her birthday and was planning to celebrate this year with her two sisters who live there. Her husband asked me to make her a card showing the three of them together. I based my design on a photo he sent me which was taken a few year ago, but he asked me to change their outfits according to some other photos he sent. 

I showed curly haired Mizzie in the centre of the card. Her twin sister, who has straight hair, is on her right, whilst her older sister, wearing the hat, is on her left.

Her husband was delighted with the card when he saw it. "Thanks for the great card" he messaged me. Then Mizzie wrote to me from the UK:
"Just opened my card and I LOVE IT! What a lovely surprise!"

Galia and Doron were also celebrating their respective birthdays. The theme for Galia's card should be naturopathy, her mum told me. She has just qualified as a naturopath. For those not in the know (like myself!), naturopathic medicine is a system that uses natural remedies to help the body heal itself. It embraces many therapies, including herbs, massage, acupuncture, exercise and nutritional counselling.

I created a small card showing a mortar and pestle with some herbs in it. Some leaves and flowers and a couple of bottles of essential oil surround it.

Doron was overseas for his birthday but his mother-in-law wanted him to have one of my cards as well! He is studying mechanical engineering at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, so she asked me to include the university's logo and some maths and physics symbols on a blackboard. Apparently one of his tutors is the British-Israeli mathematician Ruth Lawrence. The Brits amongst us will remember her for having been a child maths prodigy who graduated Oxford at 13. She now lives in Jerusalem and apparently likes to teach her students using an old fashioned blackboard, hence the request for it on Doron's card!
