So according to Becky trying to run a business was what led to her ‘anxiety attack’. What does she decide to do now? Why try to sell some new product of course. Considering her rather poor record of trying to create a market for fugly dresses and overpriced notebooks, etc. and failing dismally I can’t see this going well no matter what’s in those mystery boxes.

Her business would be booming if she did....just say'n. Scrappers have needs too! She cant. Masturbation is a sin.   |

Considering I can’t really find that in the Bible in reference to females, yes, there’s a vague passage about ‘wasting seed’ for males, but no reference to females that I found. Since we have no ‘seed’ to ‘waste’ I just thought the priests just wanted to hear all about our ‘sins’ in the confessional  so decided to call it a sin too |

Is it just me or do most of you interpret Becky's claim of "no new project life" to mean no new manufacturing of existing products as well? So meaning when the current inventory runs out that is it folks. It really feels like she is misleading customers re: physical product availability.

So meaning when the current inventory runs out that is it folks. It really feels like she is misleading customers re: physical product availability. That is exactly what I think is going on with BH and PL. The brand is dead and the remaining products are being sold at discount stores like TM. I think it’s horribly misleading for BH to continue to promote her products when they will be obsolete in a few months. |

Her mouth is saying it’s plentiful on her website but her actions say it’s dead in the water and she doesn’t give a flip how she gets rid of it. Just so long as it’s gone. I mean she said project life wasn’t going anywhere and it’s not getting manufactured either. She’s clearly trying to mislead her people. |

I'm off the Becky train completely but I think she says "physical project life products aren't being manufactured, blah blah" but she means the app and related digital stuff will still be available. I think the app is just going to sit there with minimal effort put forth by anyone, but that's fine by most customers as long as they don't lose anything. The prints and related stuff from the app come from a printing company in Minnesota - so they are doing more work than she. I'm guessing they pay her a fee yearly to be the printing service for her app, so some of the business is still coming in, etc. It's all too sad to watch, it wouldn't be if she would just away but she keeps blathering on about shit. |

One positive about the possibility of the Project Life by Becky Higgins brand dying: if it does, American Crafts might finally offer pocket page cards with the collections of their popular scrap brands!

Is Becky selling any new products these days? At one point she had new PL kits, notebooks, wrapping paper, the ugly dress, plus a home collection, correct? If she’s not selling anything I think we can say she is a former, now unemployed, scrap celeb. Having a podcast does not mean she is relevant. But will it actually be NEW product or some reselling of some OLD product? Did she clean out her garage when she moved and “found” 300 signed copies of My Creative Companion or Creative Lettering? |

And she’s turned off comments on her IG post begging for email subscribers. Someone must have called her out on something so she turned it off. She’s something else. I quit following her awhile ago but look her up every so often so see the train wreck.

From her IG today:
" I highly encourage stillness. In fact, it’s one of the very things that is helping keep my anxiety at bay. So when I say “you can have it” ... I’m saying you can feel that peace and have more calm in your heart and your head and your LIFE with a little more intentional STILLNESS."I am SOOO tired of the word " intentional" being overused (not just by her, but many other people). I have a friend who overuses it in her Facebook posts, and I feel stabby whenever I see it!  |

Well too much unintentional stillness might mean bad things like coma or death no?

Becky is going to “clarify everything in her newsletter” now. Oh, goody. Another 5000 words where she clarifies nothing, babbles about everything *but* scrapbooking, and annoys the crap out of her customers.  |

Especially since truth is inherently an objective concept, not subjective. Subjective truth speech just dilutes and erodes the concept which we don't need more of in today's fake news era. I keep correcting people: "Your version of the facts." "Your interpretation of the situation." "Your perspective." "Your feelings about what happened." |

I do the same thing. Few things irk me as much as people who voice their opinion as objective reality (it seems to happen, in my experience, much more w/men than w/women, but we all do it sometimes. We need NOT TO, imo  . |

Yes that is how I interpret it, but if she comes right out and says it, there will be another uproar from her fangirls and that will surely send her into another "anxiety attack." |

Becky outright lies (or is clueless) on her IG. For example, a week or so ago, she had that F8 lady on a post. She said in the post that the family of 8 was doing all the states in the RV. "Yep. You heard me right. All 8 of them in an RV visiting every single one of the 50 United States! "
This was WEEKS after the F8 people said their son was going home to do his senior year. But, I guess it sounds cooler to say all 8 than the honesty of 7 of them.
It's a little thing, but it shows how the truth is as malleable as taffy when it comes to certain IG'ers.
Good to keep in mind.
