I just bought another roll tonight, gorgeous polar bears wearing scarves and snow falling on trees! The background is a dark blue. Some will be used to make envelopes for penpals, some will be used in scrapping, and I suppose some will be used for its intended purpose as well lol

I have some that would be a great weight for that.

joblackford nicolep it's so easy, too! Nothing says "cultivate a good life and record it" by writing letters anyway, right

Most of my family (especially my daughter and all my nieces and nephews) do not care about the quality of the wrapping paper, I just buy what I think is cute on sale at my supermarket. I would never buy her stone wrap even if I was a huge Becky fan.

I buy my wrappIng paper at Walgreens, half off the day after Christmas. It is Hallmark brand and has those nice little cutting guides on the back, is plenty thick, is super cute and coordinated and can be recycled!
I love the envelope idea, totally doing that, there are always so many odd pieces left that will be perfect for that!

I love the envelope idea, totally doing that, there are always so many odd pieces left that will be perfect for that! I LOVE the envelope idea too! The peas are the best for sharing creative ideas and reusability! Back to Becky for a sec. On Today's episode of 'Mormon Moms Go On Each Other's Podcasts', she's hosting Michelle Gifford. Who recently hosted Becky:https://thewomenwithfire.com/the-women-with-fire-podcast-episode-73-becky-higgins-of-the-life-project/ I can't believe there's a market for listening to these women over and over on each other's podcasts. But hey, I can't believe they still sell so many vapid 'quote' sayings (how many ways can we be told to 'Create' and 'Breathe') at Target/WalMart/etc, so I guess I underestimate the market for vapid.

I just can't with Becky anymore. I unfollowed her everywhere. Ever since the other Becky came on the scene, I am just not liking where things are going. I just don't find her to be genuine, especially with how much she loved to talk about how genuine she is. Ugh. I find her exhausting and I just don't care anymore. It's sad to see her run her brand into the ground ...

I didn't buy Becky's products because I was a fan of hers. I buy things if I like them, not because of who sells it. I was never that invested in Becky but knew who she was from CK and spent a little time with her at a convention I worked at. From what I know of Becky she struck me as being a little high strung, bit of a control freak, kind of prissy but polite and pleasant enough. My point is that she wasn't the free spirited artist type if you know what I mean. So this whole influencer thing doesn't seem to fit her personality and comes off cringe worthy. Maybe after being responsible for so many years she just wants to cut loose a little bit, but it's kind of like seeing your aunt try to be one of the cool kids. I'm not saying people can't change but it just seems out of left field for her. David has a high paying job and Becky had her own successful company so shilling random products just is frankly tacky to me. It seems like her becoming close with the other Becky had a lot to do with it. Anyway, I used the physical PL product so I seem to be out of luck with that now because she seems to have abandoned it.

Mormon Moms Go On Each Other's Podcasts Is that seriously the title? If so, I can't believe they used the word Mormon. It's basically like saying Voldemort now if you're an active member. Their prophet said it is an insult.

Has anyone else wondered how/ why The Washington Post interviewed her about her INTENTIONAL home? I may be wrong, but it seems like they'd want to interview someone more local to DC? Or at least someone on the East Coast? I am from DC originally and read the Post for many years. In the "Style" section, I'm pretty sure anything related to houses, decorating, etc. was more about local people...but I could be wrong. I just find it interesting that they're interviewing someone in Arizona.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Becky isn’t exactly a well known celeb outside of crafting and possibly the middle aged Mormon mommy bloggers and the Washington Post is a high profile newspaper. Maybe she knows someone who writes articles for the paper. Or maybe she offered to mention them a few times on her IG posts.

Did anyone see Heidi Swapp's IG post about "intentional"?? Is it a stab at BH? Interesting. I love Heidi. She keeps it real and doesn’t take herself so seriously. I’m tempted to do a drinking game every time Becky Higgins says intentional, but I’d be drunk pretty much every day.

For those who do not have IG:
"Confession: i take things a little too seriously. 🧐 i have been thinking about the whole “intentional” living ... and you know what i want to be more intentional about? 🥳 having a GOOD TIME!"

"Confession: i take things a little too seriously. 🧐 i have been thinking about the whole “intentional” living ... and you know what i want to be more intentional about? 🥳 having a GOOD TIME!" I really like her. She's been through way too much. I understand her perspective. The other night on our news, a girl from a local high school was talking about The Wolf Pack club. Started to help students dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts.

I am a big fan of Heidi too. She is passionate about her craft, her family, her kids, her husband, and mental health.
She is a Mormon who is really being open and honest about it all. Not hiding it or over medicating it.

Not hiding it or over medicating it. I adore Heidi as well. Mostly I admire her strength and grace. All of this respect for Heidi as compared to Becky these days takes me back to the days when Heidi's family moved to China. I remember several multi-page threads of her being raked over the coals for selling out and producing cheap products. It seems as crafters we always need someone to pick on.

BUT ... we developed another round of fantastic Simple Notebooks and they’ll be in the shop before the end of this month! Not in time to put in stockings … but totally in time for you to have a fresh new notebook for the NEW YEAR! 🌟🙌🏻 . I have a very strong connection to these Simple Notebooks. They are notebooks ... and they are SIMPLE ... and that’s it. The magic is not in the product itself (although if you have our notebooks you know it’s the most solid quality kind of notebook and many of you have said you won’t use any other notebook … and I’m with you on that! 😉). The MAGIC is how we choose to USE these notebooks. I’ve used these notebooks as Q&A journals with each of our kids, as a place to stay organized, as a place to keep track of lists and tasks and to-dos and dreams and goals. And for the past few years I’ve been keeping a series of notebooks as my personal JOURNAL. Not so much a record of events (because that happens primarily in our family yearbook, which I do 100% in the Project Life App, and then I print those yearbooks at the end of each year through the app). . Rather, these notebooks you see pictured here are what I lovingly call my “Notes of the Spirit”. It’s not always necessarily “spiritual” … but everything I write on these pages is stuff I feel prompted to write down — impressions, nudges, insights, feelings, notes from a talk I listened to, a class I sat in, a podcast I listened to, a conversation with a friend, a random thought in the middle of an ordinary day. These don’t feel like “private diaries” to me. I take notes in a way that, should anyone ever find my notebook and get curious, they would not only get to know me pretty well 💛 … but I would hope they’d actually feel feel inspired to cultivate a good life and record it. . These notebooks are a blessing in my work. They will be a blessing to my posterity. But for right now … they bless me tremendously as Becky — a person. An individual. This kind of documenting is a blessing to me in my ongoing journey to constantly improve and be a better version of myself. #BHCultivateAGoodLife</a></p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beckyhigginsllc/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;" target="_blank"> Your Documenting Guru</a> (@beckyhigginsllc) on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2019-12-10T17:47:41+00:00">Dec 10, 2019 at 9:47am PST</time></p></div></blockquote> <script async src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>

Can't you use any notebooks for all the things she mentioned? ( the "magic" is how it is being used) Basically, documenting how wonderful and insightful you are can be done with any notebook.
Not the best selling point for buying her notebooks.

She needs a notebook that says "You GUYS" and another saying "Intentional 2020"... Maybe her new line for the new year? 😁

I asked on her insta the last time what was so special about her notebook and was told “ the quality” I still think it looks just like a plain spiral notebook Clearly I am missing the crucial point?🤪

Comb-bound notebooks are not "quality". I'm sorry, but heck no; they don't stand up to heavy use. Even your most basic of sketchbooks is stitched and better at keeping its pages, and probably costs less than these 'intentional disasters'.

Notebooks for Christmas? My family would shoot me. “Here, have a notebook!” “Hey mom, have some diet pills”
