it's going to take me FOR-EVAH to catch up....I was just generally annoyed because BH goes ON AND ON AND ON on her IG, when I saw this thread, so I unfollowed her.
Does anyone want to give me the cliff notes? I'm going to try to read it all...but you know...its a long one!

Why do the majority of those woman in the screenshot have their mouths hanging open ... And the lady pretty much scrap dab in the middle, is she feral or SUPER happy to be there, like “I’ll have what she’s having” happy? Ummm, I can't comment on that one because you're describing me in every photo of the second half of my wedding reception. I was having a really good time.  |

Does anyone want to give me the cliff notes? I'm going to try to read it all...but you know...its a long one! Oh boy I don’t know where to start! I think we can go back to the Becky dress. Prior to that all her home goods links and whatnot were mildly annoying. The dress was taking it too far. Especially we’ve never seen them since. Then she fired Toni due to downsizing and posted publicly about it while simultaneously welcoming new team bh girl: Becky proudfit. It was tacky to say the least. Shortly after that she had to move from her fancy headquarters back to her home office. This is good!!! She kept exclaiming. Absolutely nothing would change! She and Becky proudfit started a podcast and I don’t listen to podcasts so I’m certainly not going to listen to hers. But the more time she spends with proudfit, the less we hear about scrapbooking. Oh, I’m sorry , “documenting”. The move out of the office was when the water works started because as she posted about the move her fans said “you wouldn’t have to move it if you offered us product to buy that would keep you in cash flow”. Oh boy. Countless Instagram stories of her just flat out BAWLING. Then it was “thank you so much for coming on this journey with me! I’m so honored you, my customers, showed me the right way!” Blah blah blah crying stories blah. And THEN international scrapbooking day happened. She posted a photo of one of her old traditional pages from like 10 years ago. One lady said “I’m so happy to see a scrapbooking post from you! I miss the inspiration” or something to that effect and Becky completely clapped back at her basically shaming her for liking to scrapbook. And if THAT wasn’t enough, she later pens an email calling that woman out in that message too!!! When many others got involved trying to get Becky to realize it was actually a compliment for us to be inspired by her, she started deleting people and comments. She followed up with a post about her son and husband consoling her after being picked on. And then crickets since then. The woman who can’t take a shit without telling 80,000 followers about in 12 different stories went completely silent. You just know it’s killing her to not get the validation she’s seeking from her fan girls. Anyways I’m sure others will chime in with other stuff I’ve forgotten. Tl;dr Becky Higgins is a nut job. |

Oh wow...thanks for that. I saw the crying one, couldn't take it and just closed it. Never went back. What a strange turn of events to shame where you came from!

Not just picked on. The word she used was “heartbroken”. If you need emotional support from your child over anything social-media-related, please get professional help. Now.
How many times and in how many ways has she asked customers what they want...and then chosen to offer something different? How does that make any sense?

Does anyone else think a lot of these ladies are insecure? Why do these ladies feel the need to point out their flaws in the IG stories?? Weight, pimples, cold sores, crow lines, double chins... Didn't notice till you pointed it out. And how many have a uber messy house behind them?Enough with the close ups. That reminds me. I am going way back to the early days of the scrapbooking heyday when there were multiple scrapbook magazines. There was one scrapbooker who was published often in one publication (not CK), this person enjoyed her fame on the message boards and could be a bit bossy. Anyway, a few of us used to joke that the rest of her house was probably a total mess because every picture of her children was taken of them on the same sofa. |

Don't forget to add in the Cliffs Notes her "stalking" JoAnna Gaines, visiting their headquarters and sharing an IG post of a Glade/Renuzit air freshener and acting like it was the second coming and the most important aspect in the history of design. Note- Couldn't remember which air freshener so went with two most popular.

I’m surprised they didn’t get a restraining g order on psycho Becky who made them their own family scrapbook with photos she swiped off the internet. Thinking about it now makes me ragey. She didn’t see anything creepy about that at all. And that was a year ago and she was perfectly happy to use the word scrapbook then. |

Why do the majority of those woman in the screenshot have their mouths hanging open a la Teresa Collins? Just not a good look. At least that photo won’t be preserved in (whispers) scrapbooks for their family to see for years to come.  And the lady pretty much scrap dab in the middle, is she feral or SUPER happy to be there, like “I’ll have what she’s having” happy? it might be peas took screen shots - can’t stop them from scrapping it! Not * thier* books but... |

One thing positive I’ll say, she took our advice and got the eff off the internet. She really needs to couple that with some therapy but I doubt that has happened.
M sitting on post watch because her next post is sure to be a doozy.

Sounds like she might a business intavenation.. |

I am curious how does one go from posting 20-30 stories a day to nothing?!? I mean come on, did someone take her phone away from her? Maybe her DH is stepping up to work with her on her mental health and has control of her phone?
I just can't see how she could cold-turkey stop posting on her own.

I wanted to share an excerpt from an email I received today from Jennifer Wilson of Simple Scrapper. The email was a blurb on her latest podcast episode, but this part I had to come here and share:
“Scrapbooking is so special and beautiful, whether you're doing Project Life, making 12x12 layouts, or following your own path. I am certain you will walk away from this episode will renewed resolve for telling your story and feeling proud to be a scrapbooker.”
(emphasis mine)
I’m so glad other “industry” scrappers get it and are proud to use the word “scrapbook!”

Like I said this womN couldn’t take a sh*t without telling someone about it. I’m hoping the heartbreak meltdown got someone’s attention because this woman is nuts. I cannot imagine embarrassing my children that way. Let alone my husband. |

"More love, less judgement. More compassion, less assuming. More recognizing that everyone is just doing their best. More kindness. More forgiving. More building one another up. More lifting others’ spirits. More encouragement. More cheering each other and wanting others to succeed."
I have zero patience for people that cannot see their own faults. The victim mentality. If numerous people say they are offended by your comments, then maybe it is you and not them. Be a bigger person and apologize. Recognize that on National SCRAPBOOKING day you dissed scrapbooking. Be honest and stop stringing people along about Project Life. Please for the love of Heavenly Father and Jesus take your own advice.

My guess is she is on some team-building vacation with her employees (again) and don't have wi-fi. Maybe they are on an island somewhere? LOL |
