Second, I am now officially announcing that there will be two monthly chats at the O, starting in April!! I'll be hosting one at night (US time) and we will have an international time...I'll post another thread about that in the next few days asking for your INTERNATIONAL opinions on the BEST time to get us ALL together!!! :) We will be having goodies, trivia, and scrapping challenges at these chats, so get your google hands ready!! (or Bing, clara!! LOL!!)

Stay tuned for actual dates announced at the beginning of the month!!

THIRD, I just wanted to make sure that if you didn't finish one of our monthly challenges, there is still time for you to do the challenge and be entered into the monthly coupon drawing!! It's too late for the birthday coupons, but there is still a chance to win in the actual challenge forum!!

Check them out here!!!!

Thanks to EVERYONE for making this home such a wonderful and addicting place to be!!!

LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY!!
 
Thank YOU, Sally!!!! You did an awesome job but have you slept in the last two weeks? Is there any friendly tip you can offer a newbie on how to participate in a chat?

Love all the designers at the O too!!!
 
We'd like to say a special thank you to YOU, Sally. We've all had a complete blast. And future chats sound FANTASTIC. - Count me in!


Is there any friendly tip you can offer a newbie on how to participate in a chat?

Friendly tip coming up......click on the enter chat room and get typing :p. Although you might want to do some limbering up exercises for your finger tips - the chat is fast and furious - and I really don't know how people manage to scrap and chat.
 
I give you about 5 mins before you join in - LOL!

Mind you, I should perhaps issue a health warning - during the last chat, I kind of ignored my kids for half an hour (well, OK, maybe 45 mins) and they totally wrecked the house! But totally.
 
Fabulous idea about the monthly chats Sally ... I've only "chatted" here twice, but both times were an absolute scream!!!
 
Oh Michael...You SOOOOOOOO have to join in!!! The chats are soooooo much fun....but you will need to bring a few things:

for answering trivia...always have a second window open with google..this is important..

MORE IMPORTANTLY...roll of paper towels for wiping screen when you spit all over it from laughing so hard (tip: no liquids during the chat..buhahaha), and make sure you use the bathroom just before the chat starts, as the hard laughing can sometimes cause "wet pants":D and hold on tight to your seat so you don't fall out from all the fun:D:D:D

Seriously, Michael....Selena is right, if you come in to observe, you will join in less than five minutes....

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo excited to do this twice a month!!!
 
We'd like to say a special thank you to YOU, Sally. We've all had a complete blast. And future chats sound FANTASTIC. - Count me in!

I'm in too!!! And thrilled about it!!! :D Thank you again Sally for this special and wonderful week!!! :)

LOL Linda!!! These are certainly the most important tips!!! :D You're right!!!
 
Linda- you are too funny - but so true- I hope they are on Wed eve so I don't have to neglect dh- but if I have to, I have to!
 
Hurray!!... I am so excited to participate in the next chat!! Will there be Tim Tams served?? LOL honestly had so much fun with the chats, you girls are the best!:D
 
Seriously the best news that I've had today...or yesterday either! :-) So excited about this. And in the summer, we have delayed bedtime...so won't need to leave to put kids to bed! Yippee!!
 
Guess I'll keep my coupon for DEPENDS then... oh my!
Buahahahaha!!!

Linda W- perfect tips!!

Sally- so exciting!!!!! I hope that the Int'l Chats will be during my day, since I am usually fast asleep by the time the US chats run. :(

PS: FYI- Sally *doesn't* ever sleep :lol:
 
thank you! Maybe I'll "observe" the chat! :)

Observing is not something you really want to do. Jump on in with two feet. Chatting is my absolute favorite way to get to know the other people here and for them to get to know you. It can go really fast and sometimes it can slow down. If you miss something it isn't a big deal. You just throw your 2 cents in when you get a chance. They are just too fun not to participate in. There are prizes and what not but in general chats are just a bunch of silliness where girls get to be girls and hang out for a little bit. If you want to ease into it I would recommend showing up about 10 minutes early when there are only a couple of people there and you can ease your way into it as more people show up. Then you are not jumping in with a ton of people at once when it can be a little overwhelming. There are always new people at the chats so don't ever think everybody knows everybody. And remember everybody was new to a chat at some point.
 
Sally you are a rock star!! I meant to put that, but got distracted at the concept of observing a chat. I just don't think it is possible. :) I am so glad you work so hard for me to have so much fun. Do you have a Red Bull or Monster keg at your house or something? Or do you just mainline it and go straight with an IV caffeine drip? I am totally excited about the concept of two chats. That is so awesome. I was just thinking we should have more chats. That is the bestest idea EVER!!! I love it.
