The Upside Down Chat...

[Nicole Young]

:D Bet you're wondering what in the world I am talking about?!?!? Huh?
Well, I have had quite a few people mention that they are unable to make the Monday night 11PM chat time but would really like to get those chat bonuses, so I thought:doh: ...and thought.:doh: ..and thought :doh: some more...
And it hit me! :D An Upside Down Chat...:twins:
Once every two months I will hold a chat at 11AM Eastern (day to be announced) and anyone that comes can pick one of the past chat bonuses as their freebie!!! I will send them out in a PM after the chat is over!:tup:

So each Upside Down Chat you will get a choice of 4 bonuses (from the previous 2 months)! If you ever miss one of the regular Encore! Chats you can always come to this Upside Down Chat and get the missing Chat bonus!!!

So watch for more details, the first one will be coming up in October!!!!! Date to be announced soon!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo:

[Nicole Young]

The first UpsideDown Chat will be Monday, October 15th at 11AM!!!!!
Hope that you all can make it!!!!!

[DixieMama]

You are SO good to us, Nicole! MWAHZ! :D

[RoadMap4Us]

Great idea! I hope to never miss one of your chats but if I do, this is just the ticket! :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:

[sueya]

Thanks for picking a day when I'm off work! I will try and make it to this one.

[Seratonin]

This is a great idea, now the trick is not to forget about the upside down chat :)

[sammdc]

hahahahah yes excellent Idea

[mommabyrd2003]

Great Idea Nicole. I typically don't ever have anything going on Monday evenings, however it's good to know for the rare event I won't miss out on the bonus although the chat is the better part. The bonus is well the bonus.

[flrebareba]

Woo hoo I love your thinking !!!!! I cant seem to stay awake that late anymore.. thanks for the chance to not miss your chats...

[EmmaJean]

WOOHOO!!! Nicole, you rock!!! I can only ever make daytime chats so this is PERFECT for me. Thanks for thinking of everybody and coming up with an AWESOME solution.

Wahoo, thanks Nicole! I will put it on my calendar!

[bsneely]

Oh!!! Thank you!!!!! I haven't been able to get to your late nite chat. This is just great!

[dapupsmom]

This is wonderful! I've never been to one of your chats, cause I'm deep in sleep at 11. And normally, this wouldn't work for me either. BUT, I'm take that day off from work, so I'll be there!!! Yahoo!!!! Thanks Nicole!!!

[Greenfingers]

This sounds good- I've never managed to get to one of your chats (4am for me) so I have asked for a reminder for this one tomorrow. Are we supposed to have done any challenges or anything?

[isshinryu_mom]

What a terrific idea... hope, hope, hope I can make it!!

[Nicole Young]

Are you ready for 11AM tomorrow? (Monday, October 15th???)
You can get a freebie...
we will have a fun and relaxing chat about DSP, design style, upcoming challenges and kits, and maybe some off topic discussions...your favorite book? your favorite movie? I don't know...just come and let's inspire each other for new creative scrapbooking ideas!!! :D

[Nicole Young]

Well looks like the chat rooms are working now, so join me for some chit-chat if you want at 11AM!!! If you prefer to just PM me due to the mix up, then that is fine too!!! I just want you to get your bonus!!! :)

[Nicole Young]

all bonuses have been sent out to those who let me know!! PM me if you didn't get the bonus!!! :) Thanks for being so patient this morning!!!!!

[FrugalByDesign]

I could not get in the chat room this morning... Wanted to chat, but no luck

[Nicole Young]

If you tried to get in this morning and couldn't go ahead and send me your choice of bonuses in a PM and I will get that link to ya!!! :D

[dawn-in-nz]

Well would you believe I haven't been able to get back onto DSP since it went down while I was online yesterday! I tried on and off all day and all night (my time) with no luck at all. I even went so far as to put out an SOS on my blog to see if it was me or DSP! It turned out to be at my end but neither I or my ISP could resolve the problem. In the end I rang him this morning and he set me up with a proxy and it worked. Far too late for your chat though Nicole, it was at 4am my time but I was going to be there to get the extra 5 points for the Featured Designer challenge :(

I have all of your four offered bonus kits thank you, I just wanted my 5 points :cry: - well not just that, I wanted to chat with you all too :).

[PacificTonz]

I love the idea of a down under time but isn't 11am EST midnight here in Brisbane and 3am for the Kiwis or have I got the time zone skewed again?

[dawn-in-nz]

You're right about the EST 11am time being in the middle of the night for us (4am NZ at the moment because of daylight saving) but I don't think Nicole was calling it the 'Upside Down Chat' because of us Toni :).

[caraffle]

Wow, Nicole, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!! I have so much trouble staying awake for the 11pm but am stupid enough to forget that is is every other week. Love Ya for this opportunity to get to your chat during the day.
