Today is our son’s 30th birthday. I illustrated a birthday design in Procreate then used Brushstrokes (N1) for a painting like image. I used Pixelmator Pro to add Happy Birthday text to the front for his card and inside I included this message for him.
In your 30 years you have seen one of God’s blessings
10,950 sunsets!
Enjoy this moment
May all your hopes, dreams, and wishes come true!
The years go by way too fast but I’m proud of the man you’ve become. You have an easy-going disposition, a sunny smile, and big ol’ warm heart. You fill me with so much joy! I love you baby boy!! 
Music factoid to honor my birthday boy… From the Ace of Base first US studio album, The Sign was #1 US Billboard Pop single in 1994 and is still quite popular among many of us today.
I’m meshing things up since tomorrow is DH’s off Friday. I revised an old sketch from 2019 of a mermaid riding a sea horse for this week’s FFO challenge.
Can you see the improvement in my mermaid’s face?
Let me close things by saying, I’m thankful….
For my son!
Despite DH not getting his permanent crowns yesterday because the lab did not make the correctly, the dentist couldn’t find anything wrong with the tooth that’s been sore which is a blessing!
To have our basic needs met and good health.
I moved my Thursday blog communities to my side menu. Please check my friends out if you can. You’re invited to join me on the dance floor next time with Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sunday. No theme is necessary to join but for those interested Monday’s theme is Latin Artists. I will leave you with this 70s Latin Rock 80-song playlist I discovered. Until then, have a doodletastic day!

Happy Birthday to your son, a little late.
I love your sketches and also Latin music. Not sure I’ll have the time to write a post for Monday, but will definitely drop by, at least. Have a great weekend!
You’re always welcome to join the party anytime but don’t worry about it if you can’t. I understand. Thanks for the bday wishes for my son. Have a good week, dearie!
Happy birthyday to your son, Cathy, and I love your art!
Happy belated birthday to your son. 30 is a milestone. I’m certain you are very proud of your son. L9ving the music. Love your card you created for your son. You got the feel of the painted image and l9ve the Mermaid. I do remember the previous drawing and the face is better. You should be proud of yourself!
I remember turning 30 and having a bit of trouble accepting my new status. It’s funny how a number can play with your head. Thanks for your visit and kind words, Birgit.
Thank you for the bday wishes for our son and I’m happy you liked my art, too.
You’re most welcome, Cathy!
I wish your son many happy returns of the day! I do enjoy your drawings and yes, they get better all the time.
I can’t believe he’s 30. The years went faster than a finger snap. Thanks or dropping by, darlin’!

Ahh, thank you! I wish I had thought to create a pdf of his bday card with the inside blank for anyone interested. Maybe, I’ll do that next week. Thanks for your kind words regarding DH. He’ll get through it. He’s a real trooper!
