Me too. I have never heard it pronounced any other way. How the heck else would you pronounce it? One of the YouTubers I watch says ephemera like Ee-fem-air-uh. I decided to look it up because I pronounce it completely different. All three videos showing how to pronounce it were all different.

Skellinton Not sure whether this will help you with any possible old Esprit LOs but there is a book from the 1990s called Esprit: The Comprehensive Design Principle filled with photos from Esprit's branding in the 1980s (store displays, postcards, logos, etc.) that you might be able to source on the cheap at some point on Ebay. Here is an article with some images from it that might evoke good memories... Thank you, I will look for that book. The article was amazing, I definitely remember some of those tags, I am pretty sure everyone had a collage of them in their lockers (we were 13, don’t judge us too harshly, I promise I wouldn’t do that today😀). I had totally forgotten that!

ETA: This whole final T thing had me thinking of Hyacinth 'Bouquet' Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances. Not sure how many of you are acquainted with this delightful British show but between the Becky Higgins thread and this one, I can't help but post this compilation video: Oh, that brings back memories! My Nana was pretty much Mrs Bucket

Not sure how many of you are acquainted with this delightful British show but between the Becky Higgins thread and this one, I can't help but post this compilation video: A village not so far from me is called Bussage, pronounced by most as "Bussidge". However, we were behind a woman giving her address to the shopkeeper as "Booo- saaa-ge". As she left, the shopkeeper grinned at us and said "She probably holds candlelight suppers at her house too". (One of Mrs Hyacinth Bucket's habits) My German friends always pronounced Esprit with the T, "Espreeeet"

And then there is the post today on Facebook from Heidi - "You asked and we listened". It was about having some blank inserts. Now see, that was easy, wasn't it?

Heidi has been doing this about as long as BH, but she makes the effort to stay relevant, she seems to try to listen to customers when possible. And her ‘offshoot’ products are related to crafting and can appeal to the same audience & use the same methods of distribution.

This post may offend and I’m typically not one to pass judgement on someone’s physical appearance, but what the ever-loving F is up with Becky’s hair in her IG profile?!?! She a very attractive woman, but that hairstyle is horrible.

AND why I keep buying either the entire line or bits of pieces of most of her paper lines in the last year or so.

I met Heidi once in 2016, and she was a total sweetheart. She was doing a Minc demo at Paper Source so I... may have skipped a class to go see her. Totally worth it. She was excited to talk to us about what projects we were working on and asked if we had any photos of our creations to show her. She gave nothing but support and genuine appreciation for having us come see her demo. She's the real deal and I love her!

Well Becky has gone and done it! I want to buy a Book of Mormon journaling edition! I'll go with the one on Amazon for $14.00 vs the $40.00 one she uses.
What are the rules if you receive free product anyway. Coincidental that she posts that and more of the books are coming in stock at the end of the month?

She a very attractive woman, but that hairstyle is horrible No offense, but Becky to me is an average looking mom type. Nothing wrong with her looks but I wouldn't classify her as very attractive. I thought she was an intelligent person which to me tops looks, but after reading her social media stuff the last few years I think it wasn't intelligence but luck that got her where she is. That and a bit of cunning for taking somebody else's idea and trademarking it under Project Life. I don't even think she is kind, I think she knows how to be polite when she has to but there is a difference. I'll stop beating the dead horse, but it really is too bad that she doesn't have the self awareness to know how bad she makes herself look on social media. I realize I can be very sarcastic but I am not out there preaching to others about cultivating a good life, I am not holding myself out to be a role model for my faith.

candles? The name of the scent of that candle, IMO, is very awkward with a heritage kit? Does everyone get the same scent candles?

Beyond tacky. “Smells just like great great grandpa used to smell out in the fields every day kids!!” What’s next, a mammys cookin scented candle?

Well, I actually started to think about what scents would represent my heritage and it didn’t take me long to realize how inappropriate that could get, especially once I got to my moms side or my kids heritage. 😳
It just seems like an unnecessary & awkward part of the kit. And it can go from awkward to inappropriate in a flash if the scents vary at all.

Wonder how the foreclosure auction prep is coming along (3/12/20). Wonder if she feels any remorse at all for INTENTIONALLY walking away from her commitments and legal obligations; and for no apparent reason but showing off? Wonder how many of her "great team" know about the high gloss coating over a corrupted core.

On the topic of the foreclosure: does anyone have experience with this in Arizona? How long before the advertised auction sale date does the property move from pre-foreclosure into actual foreclosure? We're one month and one week away from auction date right now. The status on the auction details says 'Foreclosure' but I can't remember if that showed 'Pre-foreclosure' before. ETA: rune2484 What a find! I'd never heard of this partnership before (granted, I've never actually followed BH on social media so I can easily miss out on weeks of IG stories when I forget to check her account). Judging by the photo, this was a while back before Becky lost some weight (and she used a no-longer-produced-in-quite-a-few-years Project Life mini album to show off the product, oddly enough). But holy schnitzel, a 'Cotton Fields' candle to celebrate your heritage? What? Is this their idea of diversity inclusion? Is this candle offered to both African-Americans descending from cotton field slaves and descendants of plantation owners? Talk about romanticising a terrible thing. What's next, 'Leopoldstadt Streets'? I'm shocked. And the bigger company (by far) in this story is MyHeritage.

Freckled Fawn released pocket page inserts for traveler's notebooks. The title of their email was "Exciting Announcement for Project Lifers!"
Becky can insist that people no longer want these products, but it's hard to believe that when so many other companies are picking up her slack.

I'm still catching up, so maybe someone has already answered this- but why would a "My Heritage" keepsake gift need to include CANDLES?!? (are the candles so you can *accidentally* burn any DNA test results you don't like, maybe?!? ) ETA: yup, my question was already asked and answered! I should have known you guys would pick up on the candles, too!!! I love this place!!!
