How about another weekly chat?

[Lori Imel]

I would like to do a weekly chat - and want to know when you can be there....  I will make a poll - but you can answer in this thread too....

evenings are best for me...

[KatLen Kreations]

what kind of chat?

My favorites are games, learning/tut, challenge and open ended questions on a set topic  that the challenge is focused on.
Meet the Designer are also interesting.
I love freebies!!

[KatLen Kreations]

We have to remember we have an international audience including Europe and Australia.
different times will catch different people.

[Lori Imel]

yes - I am very aware of our people around the world....  I did a chat at Digitals when I was in Germany....  I think it was "Around the World In 60 minutes".... LOL  something like that.

I am just trying to get a general consensus on when people can be here - and those who would like to chat.....

Of course there will be freebies...  I am not sure about the theme - or if it will be different kinds of chats....  I just want it fun!  lol

I would love to get another chat going here.  The other chat is in the middle of the night to me!  I have tried to stay up a couple of times, but with small children it makes it difficult!  Can't wait to see what happens!!!

[SandEz Creationz]

About any day before 2 PM I'd make an effort to be there for you all, LOL!

[Lori Imel]

I am bumping this thread - I am looking to start a weekly???  chat in the mornings or early afternoon.  We have the cheeky chat every Sunday night at 9pm EST.  We also have some other ones in the evening starting soon.....

So I thought it might be nice to have a morning one for other people time frames....  check out the poll too - you should be able to change your vote if you need to - only a few people voted though....

I find it difficult to get to your chat because of the time difference. I am about 6 hours ahead of you timewise, but if you could make a time of about 3pm CST available I could be there - 9pm my time.  Unfortunately our Liz would be in her bed still. 

Something else that might work is to incorporate a once weekly speed scrap into the chatter.  You get loads of chit chat with that anyway and the SS can be an icebreaker too.

this is also a wonderful time for me here in Germany

I was thinking this would be a bad time for me.... but it would be about the time we get done with school....

[Lizard Dau Designs]

lol vanessa hun a speed scrap is in the pipe works and katlen sweet also a designer meet and greet too...now to organise them!!...cheers liz wish i could chat in my sleep...well yeah i can but i cannot type in my sleep..bummmmmmmer!!!!!!!!!!

[KatLen Kreations]

not sure when I could regularly host except evenings - tried a sat morning, not well attended
I sub in the schools when I can between looking for a regular income.
most days I am here most of the day ... but not a guarantee.

so what time would mid-day be in Europe/Austrailia? A lunch chat?

[Scrapz 'n Bitz]

Well I live in the UK wh0ich is CST + 6 hours and Liz is in Australia which is about 8 hours ahead of me.  ( I was chatting to her the other night at midnight my time and she was eating her breakfast)

Working on CST, GMT and Aus Time, these are the only times we could all feasibly tie up.

GMT           CST         Aus
20H00       14H00      07H00
21H00       15H00      08H00
22H00       16H00      09H00
23H00       17H00      10H00
00H00       18H00      11H00

We live too far apart

[KatLen Kreations]

so speaking genericly and using Vanessa's calculations

  N/S Am             Europe       Aus-E. Asia
mid-afternoon  late even   morning    - maybe
evening            night        morning   - nope
late even          night        mid-day  -  nope
night              early          afternoon   nope
early morn      afternoon  early even  - ok
mid-morn      late afternoon  late even   - could work
mid-day         early even     night     --   nope

not a lot of possibilities in catching all three - spread to evenly around the globe.

Fraid so, as they say "worlds apart"
