All things Becky15 Higgins/beggy Higgins

I'm sorry for your loss. Becky seems to lack sincerity in her expression, maybe not in her feeling, but in her outward expression for sure.

I’m not a BH fan or fan girl. I bought a few PL kits and I have some of her page protectors. I don’t follow her on IG.

If people don’t like her or her products or how she posts or what she posts or her podcasts, unfollow and unsubscribe.

I’m sorry if this offends people, but I don’t get all the ongoing commentary about her if you find her annoying or that you feel she is clueless. Why waste your time and energy with the constant churning of dislike and annoyance?

Hand-slapping a hand-slapper.  All is well in our little pea universe. Love you guys!

I'm similar in my purchasing and following of PL or BH, I don't even have the app. Nor am I disturbed by her proselytizing....much.
What interests me in this thread and multiple threads over the years is how often individuals who've launched incredibly successful businesses in the scrap world manage to be their own worst enemy.

I don't have many hobbies. It annoys me how the "leaders" of this industry have made childish "girly" decisions and mistakes that have ruined their businesses and reduced our hobby resources. I don't mean to offend anyone by the use of Girly, but some of their actions fit a sad stereotype of women making emotional decisions, worrying about personal popularity over smart business decisions. From the HOF debacle (I blame CK for not enforcing their own rules) to Becky begging for input she ignores, we have multiple examples of owners hastening the demise of their business. As a businesswoman it pains me to see this.

I also like learning from Refugees how things would be handled in their industries. The insights shared about social media marketing have been educational. I want to tag Refugees here, but hate to link  you into my rant. 

We were brought together by a shared interest, it seems a logical place to discuss it.Many of us would make the same remarks about an actor or public figure who was acting inappropriately, and while I dislike the thought of scrapbook celebrities she is a public figure in our hobby so it's going to happen...

We could have a separate thread about Dumb Scrap booking business decisions, but it's simpler to link it to the company in question. 


(((((Shout-out to Heidi Swapp for navigating the world of sharing her private life and while continuing to be innovative and professional! Long time followers know she had her own business learning curve - yet she did learn, grow and thrive!))))

I didn't see anything about a new class in the email...unless she sent more than one email out. She is offering her old class at a sale price.

so should we do threads where we thumbs up every time we notice a business running smoothly? 👍🏻

Some companies just give us a lot more material than others! 
For example, Shimelle gets lots of positive comments here, but after a few pages of everyone agreeing she's pretty awesome and, for the most part, she runs her business really well, there's not much more to say. 

Yes the Ali Edwards thread was positive until it wasn’t

And I believe the KP thread is still positive

I was just being snarky sorry

Definitely we say positive things, even on the studio calico thread there are some positive things said on there... such as discussion of sneaks every month, even when we like them.

The AE thread goes positive a lot of the time but when something happens that upsets customers, it’s a place for us to go and let out our frustrations and see that we’re not the only one feeling that way. It all comes from a place of loving AE and wanting her to offer great products we can all use and enjoy.

BH I think is the outlier in that she shares personal stuff way more than business stuff so this thread just comments on what she shares. If she doesn’t want people commenting on her personal life/actions she shouldn’t share it on a business account. 

lisacharlotte your judgemental bitches comment made me laugh so hard. That was priceless.

julie5 Now girl you stop that apologizing for negativity. You are not negative. You always have great posts. Yes, you do add a lot to our board and we value you.

Why we don't have 38 pages of how great Shimelle and Heidi are is quite simple because Becky would not have 38 pages either of how off the rails she is if she didn't do something off the rails every single day.

This thread is so long because Becky herself is keeping it long. We had other negative threads on scrap stars when they did something wrong but it ended when they fixed it or imploded.

I hate to say this. I really hope this is not true. You all writing about Becky talking about her brother and showing her tears makes me wonder if she is trying to compete against Heidi for releasing that beautiful new line that was influenced by her son. I really hope that is not the case. The way Becky has been acting lately it really does make me wonder. She really seems to have developed a mean girl competitive streak against other women in this industry. That is just an observation. I hope she's not like that.
