All things Becky15 Higgins/beggy Higgins

I highly doubt that. Her husband is an anesthesiologist and that is literally the highest paid type of doctor. The average annual pay of an anesthesiologist is $365,000 and, considering he’s been at it awhile, I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes more than that. 

I think that may have been Teresa Collins' husband before he got cancer and passed away...or that he started working for her company because it was something he could do while fighting cancer as he could no longer practice medicine.

Why assume something so mean and uncharitable? It was probably just a boiler plate reply to people who sent messages. I don't see anything wrong with going on her cruise anyway. Some people want to stay busy or be distracted. Not to mention the probable legal and financial penalties for cancelling. 

So I don’t PL scrapbook (probably will try in future but it’s not for current projects), but, I like using her 6x8 albums and mainly the 2 pocket page protectors for the old prints that I probably won’t scrap. I just like them in the binder format like that and the albums I got are really pretty for display (pricey, but at least I don’t need a ton).

I needed some more protectors but I noticed that design 2 is no longer on her website and I just bought the last 3 from scrapbook.com. Is 6x8 going out!?

I think critiquing Teresa Collins on her social media presence or her business decisions is fine. However, I also think we never truly know what's in the heart of another person and judging someone because we believe they got married too fast is unnecessary. It doesn't affect anyone other than her family, so why should we care? I realize this is on a thread critiquing Becky so it may come across as hypocritical, but I feel the same way about Becky. Criticize her business decisions and excessive social media posting all you want (and boy is there a lot to criticize), because those things affect us as consumers, but being critical about who she marries (or her family relationships) is off the table, at least until they start to affect her business.

I realize I may get some push back on this and that's okay. I'm not saying we need to be all sunshine and roses here, because heavens knows I enjoy a good 2Peas roast, but I think being critical on that aspect of Teresa's life is unkind and, even more, unnecessary. YMMV.

No worries julie5! I know you're going through a tough time of your own. Sending you love.

chances I am not being mean or uncharitable. Like I said I am the poster child of doing crazy and wish I could take back some things because of grief. I have lost two children a decade apart.

It was not a blanket response. It was a personal e-mail. I have been kind to TC for years. Gave her advice on things over the years. We both had similar childhoods so we are both scrappers. I don't mean that in the scrapbooking terminology. I would never ever judge her for what she finds as security. Since both of us cherish it and understand what it is like to fight for it.

I thought her e-mail reply was so odd. I thought her doctor must have gave her some meds to cope with grief and she wasn't thinking straight. I don't remember which forum the girls were talking about her going on the cruise. I thought "So she went on the cruise? So what." Then I guess she went to a trade show right afterward. Then she got married quickly. The scrapping world went insane over that. Now, she's not a star anymore. People just downright hate her.

Sorry I can't help but keep thinking of TC's cruise thing with all this drama about Becky Higgins. Least TC had an excuse- grief. I always give her a pass. Plus, I have a soft spot for her. So what if she wants to get married again. Teresa & I have seen poverty and terrible, terrible abuse. That is her security thing. Mine is to be recluse. Least Teresa & I might raise a side eye for our weird personal lifestyles, but we are still alive. I have buried way too many friends, witnessed many of my beautiful friends go into prostitution or spiral into drugs.

Yes, it was odd. No, I can't stop thinking about that every time I hear about a scrapbooking star behaving badly. Teresa made some serious mistakes that she got nailed to the cross for. Some she did deserve because her personal life did effect her business decisions. I have taken her to task on it too. I still like her. She did deserve the snark. You can't host expensive classes and then not teach them, for example. People get mad about those things and want their hard earn money back!

Becky on the other hand I guess I am done being charitable. Going on your IG running down vendors at Creativation. Sorry, there is no excuse. Going on and on and on about the big box stores and her values. Good for her. She has values. She also is BECKY HIGGINS. She can still get contracts at big box stores. She goes on her IG and tearing down those same big box stores. Hosting classes and when they don't turn out like she promised uses the Mom excuse. She wants to put a nail in her brand coffin. I will just say it. I can't get on board with a woman whose tag line is "Cultivate a Good Life" when she doesn't seem to appreciate it.

Girls you need to remind me who Emily is. I forgot which scrap star is Emily.

Sorry about yesterdays terrible formatting on my replies. I think ProBoards were working on their servers last night when I was posting.

Emily Myers Carmack. She is known as the Freckled Fox on Instagram. She is a certifiable hot mess express - 6 kids under 7 (I believe) and was the victim of a 'peaceful at home shooting' that involve her new husband accidentally shooting her in the knee while her kids were home to witness. Her husband then went on Instagram explaining why he did not and would not be apologizing EVER for it. I had to quit following her. Im all for drama but hers was just too much. 

TY

Oh??? Cruise? Well there goes my day. I must go read this thread.
