Midnight moms/croppers

[wdwmickey]

Here is the thread Disney Rider suggested. Those of us who are up to the wee small hours cropping & making swap items can chat on this thread instead of bogging down the other ones Hope to chat with some of you tonight

I'm in! this will be fun!

Here's a thought...I really love to have someone to talk to and ask opinions from when I am scrapping / cropping. What if we did...say once a month...an on-line crop. We could set it up for a Friday night or Saturday afternoon / night and even possibly hold sign-ups. Anyone interested could come onto the thread during the crop, get in the conversation, ask opinions, or whatever all while sitting at home and working!!! I don't know about everyone else, but it would be awesome for me! I know I am more likely to actually get myself to do it if I have the "push" of a designated time frame and in a "group" environment. (Even if it is a virtual group!! ) I don't know if it is something that would need a hostess or not?? Maybe one of the mod's will read this and weigh in?? Anyway, just a thought...I have seen them other places and thought it may be fun!

I love this idea! I usually ask DH questions about my work/pages...poor guy is usually relaxing playing Xbox when I am bugging him haha.

I am so glad I was nosey on my lunch break and opened this thread (I am usually passed out by 9:30 eastern time...I know, ridiculous. All my co-workers tell me that will change when we have kids- so I'm gonna enjoy it while I can

I'm thinking if we do this on a weekend...maybe some that are usually in bed earlier than others may stay up later and be able to "hang out" more. Obviously, those that wanted to participate could join the virtual crop later (since we have possible interest from all different time zones). And, when you have had enough or are just too tired to go on...just say good bye and log off!! I just think it would be fun to have an appointed time to be able to chat and help each other out. And, since only some of us are close to each other, it seems logical! (To me anyway!) I know if I said to my DH I have a crop on Saturday from 7 pm until 1 am...here at the house on the computer, but I will not be available to anyone...just like it would be if I were at a crop somewhere else...he'd say ok, shake his head and go on with his day. But, what it will do for me is make me come, sit down and WORK!!!!! I love doing the swaps and make the time for them. But, what I don't do is make time to scrap...for myself!! I seem to find time to scrap for others. So, it's time to do it for me and I need that lead!! LOL

Erin--that's a great idea!!! I would love to do this. DH & MDD are tired of giving me their opinion and I would love some feedback and a dedicated time to work on my pages not swap stuff

If you wanted to do that on the boards I know they have chat sessions and we could have a chat session (I don't know how it works but I can ask on the mod board). You other choice might be setting up a yahoo group or something like that- I mean you could use a thread on the board but a chat set-up may work better.

Let me ask about how chatting works and I will get back to you when I get answers (but it may be tomorrow since I am going to meet my Sis for dinner out of town tonight).

Rebecca - that would be awesome!!! Thanks! I look forward to hearing what you can find out!

Rebecca I'm not sure if we can post pictures on the chat thread though.
We could do it here, but I'd rather have it in the scrap forum instead of the swap forum, more traffic.

Either way would be good...do you think it is a good idea?? Do you think it would work and / or generate interest?

Yeah, I think it would be a blast.

I'm a midnight mom but we could do it from 6 -1 or 7 -1 so people can come and go.
We just need to pick a date. Maybe do a poll on the scrap board and here to see what day of the week works for most.

do you want to set up the poll or should I?
We should wait to see what the webmasters say about where we should post, here or the chat.
Sometimes the chat doesn't work so Rebecca and I are trying to figure the details out.

 

[wdwmickey]

We can put the thread/chat wherever y'all want. I just started it on the swap board because we've been chatting late on the swap threads

Very cool!!! It doesn't matter to me who sets it up...I just think the motivation would be great...plus the conversation would be fun!! So, when we hear what's what, let's do a poll on both sides and invite everyone and see what works best for people. We can do a sign-up and hopefully keep it up...maybe once a month. Would you want to do a different "host" like the layout challenge every month to sort-of have the responsibility of setting the dates up and whatever? I am excited!!!!

 

[DisneyBarlans]

Sounds like a great idea!!

 

[wdwmickey]

Looks like everyone went to bed early tonight? I finished another set for the ABC swap and I'm off to bed.

 

[Disney_rider]

Hey all!!!
The chat is a great idea!!! I "Skype" does anyone else. you can see me crop from where i set up my laptop when I crop. Fridays are good for me...Generally..Once of month is good.
