Back when I used to still live in NYC I’d make my mom a birthday card every year, but since I bounced 15 years ago to go back to college at 30 years old, the annual birthday cards kind of fizzled out as life got hectic (sorry Mom 💗). I’m heading down to the City tomorrow (8-14-2026) for a visit with her, so I figured I’d make up for lost time by cranking out a birthday canvas 😍🥳.
