My anxiety heightens every time I see a notification that there's been a new post on this thread (thinking that she has posted on IG) lol. 😂

I’m kinda bummed she in social media time out. It was entertaining in a sort of gory train wreck way. No kidding. I have a bunch of stuff to do at home this week (paperwork) and was planning on using her as my comedy relief. |

I think it's WONDERFUL. I hope she has reached out for some help and is finding some.

She sent out an email. It was long and she enthused over the Rise & Shine event, how it was so good and she wants to do it again and again. She also addressed her absence on social media:
The feeling of GRATITUDE is legitimately taking up ALL the room in my heart right now. For a bazillion reasons. One of which has to do with so. many. of. YOU!! I’ve been quiet on social media recently. I am totally aware of the messages filling my inbox there right now as my team is managing that while I’m taking some time away. Thank you so so so much for reaching out in kindness. Sometimes a break from social media is the exact thing that we need to do to be more present, to get more clear, and to feel more connected to what matters MOST in life.

I still have no idea what her event was about and for the amount she charged, that’s a problem. Her email was less over the top than some of her recent emails but I still find it bothersome that she has new physical scrapbook products available at scrapbook.com yet fails to mention them.

That email just goes to show she hasn't learned anything! And her prolonged absence from social media just makes her more of a victim as everyone who just loves and adores her sends her messages to check to see if she's ok. And the longer she stays away the more eager we are to see WTF she's gonna come up with when she does, and if she's gonna be "real" and admit her part in everything( we know she's not)!!

We need a place for random chat again...SC has basically become irrelevant at this point, so there's no place to really chat. NSBR isn't where I spend any of my time (I prefer the fluff over real life goings on) and I want to post how excited I am that my daughter made the random draw for the pre-k at our zoned elementary, so she'll get to go full time with her brothers starting in the Fall. Which means I get 30 hours a week to myself AN ENTIRE YEAR sooner than planned. I'll probably spend a couple of months getting adjusted to the changes (a bit of enjoying the quiet and then getting into a routine of running all of the errands for the house since I won't have kids in tow) and then start volunteering at the school a few hours a week. I might also join a gym...that was always something I was considering doing when she hit preschool, it was just that before I was going to go during the 2 hours 3 days a week that she was in school to save me a drive all the way home (the program my sons were in is about a 20-30 minute drive each way), but now I might find it a bit harder (to motivate myself to go even if I do join) since she'll be on the same drop off/pick up schedule as her brothers. At any rate, I'm so excited...and what's more, my daughter is far more excited than I am; she can't wait. She doesn't really understand time (today she told my husband to microwave her rice for 3 hours) so I'm having a hard time conveying how long of a wait she has, but I know she's not going to be thrilled that it's 3 months away.

Maybe we should start a weekly thread for random stuff here at general sbr. Non scrappy board is fine but if you don’t go there it’s hard to connect with people. We’re friends here at sbr, we want to chat with our friends. I feel the same way about wanting to talk about other stuff but not necessarily at the nsbr. |

That is really cool about your daughter. You are right about littles having NO concept of time. I had a child repeatedly tell me that they went somewhere with their parents “the day after yesterday “. You could make a Christmas tree type loop chain to countdown for your daughter to start school. Each day she could cut one loop off. Would be cute hanging in her room. |

That's a great idea and I could use up a bunch of that paper I just purged for my kids...it's a project FOR one of them, after all. I think I'll do that with her next week. Thanks for the suggestion...it's perfect! I bought a bunch of countdown santas (they put cotton balls on his beard each day leading up to Christmas) and she followed along with that pretty well. |

Heidi Swapp's latest email made me think of y'all, did you get it? Subject line is You asked and we listened!! Please share with those of us who don't get her emails! It's similar to this photo www.heidiswapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/MemoryDex_WebSlider_COMINGSOON2-01.jpgI wish I could copy the message. She thanks customers for their voice and ideas /suggestions. "It helps me so much as I gather ideas and create products, to know what you LOVE and what you want and need as part of your creative process! Love, Heidi" Just imagine, it's about her customers - not her own experience. This girl gets it. |

Wonder if BP is counseling BH on "discomfort"? Honestly? I doubt it. BP & BH are too close. If BP ever tried to insinuate that BH might be wrong, crazy, etc, then BH would boot her to the curb. You only get to be in the inner circle with BH if you kiss her a$$ and pat her head. |

Wonder if BP is counseling BH on "discomfort"? I think you could read it to be pointed toward scrappers who are experiencing discomfort with BH's "evolution." If we just splash into the creek with her (and away from scrapping), we will grow as "documenters." |

pastlifepea I think the wrapping paper may have started it all. It was the beginning of her “life brand” That was soooooo good. And by good, I mean really, really bad but hilarious. Seems the quote function is a little funky today. weren't there also some sort of plywood signs to hang in your house, too? Really simple signs that cost $50-$70, with stick on wooden letters, or something like that? I think that was shortly after the potato sack with bell sleeves (excuse me, the 'Becky' dress)... she had everyone in the office wear one of them for the reveal; don't forget THAT!! (tip- don't wear a shapeless dress unless you want to look shapeless.) And hey-- At least the faceless drawing got the bell sleeves on Becky's outfit right. ETA: and do NOT EVER stop posting here, you guys! all of you!  Some days, I just need a big, ol' dose of snark and wit to save me from the Instagram influencer quicksand. You have no idea how entertaining coming onto this message board is, along with all of the 'regular' information and scrapbook stuff. Yes, I said SCRAPBOOK!! I scrapbook, and I'm not ashamed to say it!  <puts hands on hips, and nods emphatically.> |

Hi my name is Lorie and I scrapbook. Yes I SCRAPBOOK. With paper and embellishments and washi tape and stickers and thickers and ink spray.
Should I be ashamed of the way I document? NO!
Should I only scrap the good, perfect stories? NO!
I am a scrapper...hear me ROAR.
😏😂🤣🙌
Sorry couldn't help it

If we can no longer use the ‘S’ word things will have to change on this forum. That includes this General Documenting board as well over at the NDB. I guess I’ll have to start buying my online items at Documenting.com when I want or need new documenting supplies for my documenting stash. Or maybe I can pick up a few things at the documenting expo. Maybe I could go to my local documenting store, which would now be the LDS (go figure).

The Becky Higgins Situation is really bothering me. I have two of Becky’s books, loved her first Project 365 kit (pre-PL), and genuinely liked her as a scrapbooker. It’s fine if she has moved in from scrapbooking but why does she have to (attempt to) take us all down with her? If scrapbooking isn’t her thing, move on. But there are a lot of us who still love it and still buy tons of products. I feel like I did my part and purchased a ton of PL products, I purchased the SC kit when it was part of PL, and I have the PL app. If customers aren’t purchasing giant core kits then it’s Becky’s job to evolve as a business owner by listening to her customers and adjusting her products. It’s not her customer’s job to follow her to unrelated product lines like frumpy dresses and wooden signs.
I hope someone steps in and alters her course, but I’m not hopeful. I fear PL as we know it is gone and it will be up to kit clubs and other brands to provide 3x4 and 4x6 cards. BH needs to go away before she sullies the water more than she already has.

And when I read it, I was thinking man, those kids are gonna have some nasty blisters hiking around in wet socks and shoes all day! That’s more than a little discomfort. (Although I do agree with the message that you grow when you move out of your comfort zone) And why would she let her kids slip and fall on wet rocks? I’ve seen some serious injuries from falling on slick rocks. |
