Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Not good to hear that you have been sick again @outlander but the charcoal and watercolour sound like fun! I'm sure if you stick at it you will have more success

Well done on your results...that's fantastic news!! You put in alot of hard work to get that, you should be proud of yourself.

@Faith-and-Hope I would LOVE that! If you do paint it at some stage within your busy life it would be great if you could take a photo. You would do an amazing job

May I ask, is it sourced from the Internet @Former-Member .... ? It affects what I can do with the finished painting re copyright.

Ahhh of course it does, I didnt even think of that!! Yes it is from the internet...what a bummer!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I can still paint it @Former-Member .... just not benefit financially from it, and if I can find the photographer, acknowledge them on the back of the work.

I have printed some of my work for charity auction in the past. That was my thought .....
