All things Becky15 Higgins/beggy Higgins

She is so effing condescending. I can’t believe I was once a fan.

This is what I don't understand. In the screenshots on the last page she says "Inspiration looks like so much more than just page samples. PL is at the heart of the inspiration that I continue to share on a regular basis..." I agree inspiration can be so much more than page samples - mood boards, product sneaks, detailed product images are all very specific things that provide lots of scrappers with inspiration. Her job should be motivating us to buy the products she is selling. I've bought plenty of products I didn't think I wanted or needed once I saw them being used (like the Sparkle City papers that are now on their way to me) but all we ever seem to see is her crying, and that doesn't inspire me to lay down my money.

Amen! I wonder if Heidi posted this in response to BH? 

PL page samples did get kinda boring, but mostly because she didn't want people to be very creative with her products, and her products stopped being exciting.

But more than that, she got bored with her own product and process and from what I can see she doesn't want to do it any more at all. That's why we keep wishing she'd let someone else who is enthusiastic about memory keeping and physical PL take over the PL inspiration so she can step aside and provide inspiration for cultivating and good lifing and ugly dresses and so on to those who want that. 

Sparkle City is a great contrast - Shimelle never fails to make me want to buy her products, even though I don't scrapbook! (in that way). She's excited about her products, and she's excited to share other people using them, and it's genuine excitement - it's easy to tell. 

Which is fine. I used to do a lot of embroidery projects but several years ago I cleaned out my supplies and unfinished projects because I realised it didn't excite me any longer. I still have a small collection of mohair from when I used to make teddy bears that I can't quite part with even though I haven't made one in at least 10 years, probably longer. Our passions change over the course of our lives and if scrapbooking or PL is no longer your thing that's fine too. The fact that she's selling a product she no longer uses is not even the thing that annoys me the most about this situation, it's that she posts photos of terribly unflattering dresses or her home renovation or 10,000 videos of her crying and tries to tell us everything she posts is tied to memory keeping.

The post is gone. wonder what happened, were more comments made that she didn’t like?

So the screenshots that I posted yesterday are from a conversation that was/is going on on FB in the Simply Project Life group. It's the the same gal who Becky was being rude to on IG that started this topic on FB. The post on IG has indeed been taken down and the conversation on FB has went from just a few comments yesterday after I posted the screenshots to 140+ now.

The email that Becky sent out yesterday after the IG debacle directly quoted this same girl and she is not happy and I don't blame her!

It's a freakin' mess but it is so nice to see so many other people so sick of Becky and her ways.

There are also a couple of topics where people are supporting those who Becky was also rude to yesterday. There are at least two to two separate people.

Heidi definitely listened to someone, at least her inner memory keeping self. Her new line is beautiful. Her examples are inspiring. Her attitude is refreshing. I’m sure she has her bad days, bad moments etc. I get that, we all have our own issues. But for her business she has been professional when present and encouraging as well. I’m sure some will have occasion to disagree with her, she is never going to be able to please everyone. But I definitely appreciate her professionalism & her inspiration. And it can’t have been easy for her, so I appreciate it moreso.

I’m going to stay off the topic of Becky. No one needs my opinion to see what’s happening there.

But then she can't be our documenting guru anymore ore tell us how to cultivate a perfect life that is worthy of memory keeping because obviously only perfect, well planed out fake lives are worth documenting. 🙄😂

Well so far the only clue to a new direction is a lot of crying and some Proselytizing. If we aren’t interested in being Mormons who cry then what?

She just expected everyone to follow her lead and cannot figure out why it failed for her so miserably.  I think she fully believed she was this big name that everyone was going to follow to the ends of the Earth never questioning anything she said or did and now we're the enemy because her over inflated ego cannot handle the fact that she was so incredibly wrong.  Which has resulted in her pretending she really is this big named 'influencer' while completely ignoring reality.  Narcissism is a helluva drug.

This reminds me a little of a previous scrapbook debacle. Obviously we are too lame to get the big ideas she's trying to convey - SO THERE!

She needs to remove herself from the scrapbook industry, and accept it's a positive thing to change careers. One doesn't have to stay in the field they fell into at 20-something. Especially when they have other income! It's bad manners to blast those who enjoy the craft and want to continue with products she developed. She should be flattered, thank her former customers and then retire with grace.

If she wants to be an inspirational homekeeping icon she should hire a consultant to help her with her communication skills. She's really mucking it up, it's difficult to discern what point she is trying to make. Kids around here learn this kind of writing in middle school. I apologize because that sounds hateful, and I don't mean it that way. I'm a little baffled about her lack of focus and ability in written communication.

nicolep, thank you for the facebook group info!

And Heidi Swapp, thank you for growing this hobby.

She dangles scrapbooking/PL like a carrot so she doesn't lose her entire audience, all the while resenting us for daring to want the carrot she's dangling. She wants us to want things we don't want in order to launch a new 'career' with an existing audience so she doesn't have to do any of the hard work in building up a following all over again. Since that doesn't appear to be working, she has devolved into toddler like tantrums.
