Shimelle class? No response **Update!**

I have to agree mom. She's hardly new to the business. I wouldn't have signed up had I known the same old issues are still rearing their ugly head. She used to have someone helping about 5 years ago when I had issues with a lost parcel. Don't know why she still does it all as a full-time working mum?
I'm still waiting for access and as usual there has been no acknowledgement of payment or a link to the classes like she does with Journal your Christmas. Usually I would hold my tongue in case there has been a family emergency, but she did her Facebook live and the Scrapbook.com q&a last week.
I remember her saying once something along the lines of, if it's a nice day or an opportunity comes up she will always put her child first. Fair enough if you're not a business owner with responsibilities, and customers that have paid for content/ product which is not forthcoming as promised.

I think this will be the last class I purchase for awhile. This three weeks is the longest I have ever had to wait, and I am getting frustrated. Stencils are new to my stash and I am interested in this particular batch of videos.

I have other classes I need to catch up on anyway, and JYC will be coming out soon. Plenty of material to keep me occupied.

UPDATE FOR ALL: got a group e-mail from Shimelle. A very apologetic e-mail. She has gone overboard (IMO) to make up for her mistakes this month. She is giving us all access to the NEXT class as well (Bold Patterned Papers...a topic I would have signed up for anyways).

I signed up for the class this week and knew to expect a wait because of this thread, but it didn't bother me because a) she has taught me so much through the years: very usable approaches to scrapbooking that have heavily influenced my entire approach to my hobby, even tho her classes can go sideways! and b) because it's such a cheap class I'm willing to wait and be flexible. I know what I'm getting into

No, I wouldn't slap any hands for being frustrated. I am not patient either. But I think I do cut her some extra slack because of how much I use the information she's given me? Like - even if a class is incomplete, I probably got more out of it than I have from full-length expensive classes I've taken. And, I LIKE that she is a real human, a real mom, a real scrapbooker...it's her brand

I'm glad to hear she's making it right for those of you who have been waiting.

I think that will get released in a couple of weeks and I'll let you know when it is!

Wow. I feel so bad for you and others affected by her inability to run her business as it should be.

General observation:  I don't understand why people keep signing up for more classes if she continues to be so irresponsible and haphazard with her business practices. It doesn't matter how inexpensive the classes are, or how many freebies she may or may not give away to "apologize." JMHO, and I'm probably in the minority here when it comes to Shimelle.

100% transparency, card maker here so I have no knowledge of Shimelle other than seeing her name mentioned here and there.

I would be absolutely livid that I had spent this amount of time trying to get my hands on content that I purchased. Regardless whether it’s a $100 class or a $10 class. I’ve got 1000 more productive things I could be doing with that time. Her ineptitude, and (some people’s) acceptance of it astounds me.

I know that this isn’t exactly what you want to hear, but she had significant issues with the stencil class that have been corrected. If you have not heard from her, still do not have access, or received the additional email, you will need to contact her again as there still may be an issue with your account.

I’ve taken shimelle classes going back before Wonder Boy was born and I don’t  remember one class going as planned…there was always a problem with something that caused an unforeseen delay, blah blah blah. I signed up for one class on 2 peas where her engagement was part of the class and she just dropped out part way through.  It turned out it was when she found out she when she found pregnant and encountered some privacy issues but say something…”I have personal issues and I regretfully have to bow out, please accept my apologies and appreciate your understanding” would have gone a long way. Now, I’ll never sign up for a live class with her because none I signed up for ever finished on schedule and hesitate with older courses. 

It seems it’s always something, but that seems to be well known. I guess if I know it’s an issue I can’t really complain when it happens. Either pay and expect delays, not exactly what you paid for, no finish to the class or don’t pay and you won’t be disappointed. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've heard of Shimelle and all I would have told you before this thread is how awesome I heard she is and how great her scrapbooking is.  

I've been following this because I was shocked at this saga and thought it was maybe a one off issue.  I had no idea Shimelle is such a train wreck.  I'm very glad for this thread because I will NEVER purchase anything from her.
