Wish I knew how to post a picture here. She just posted the cubes for sale on her IG story that are in her scrap space. I’m certain she wanted to get rid of those because the bottom ones are all moldy. 9 cubes + desktop for $60. What a deal. The mold is free I guess 😂

I think Tracie is one of those people that doesn't understand the tone and the word choice she uses rubs people the wrong way. Simply stating in the podcast that this information was released to subscribers now and will be released to the general group on (date) would have been an appropriate way to say that message. She then went on her group and made an announcement that retreat information was released via the podcast. Of course, that was going to get people asking. If she really wanted to make sure people that are subscribers checked she could have just said, "Subscribers please check your scrapgals feed for an important announcement." It may have even generated some podcasts sales which would be good for business.
I don't fault her for wanting to create a buzz, it's a business. The way she talks to customers is so bizarre. She really does believe that she's doing us a favor being "in the industry".

Does she have more than one Instagram account? When I do a search with her name the pictures your all talking about don’t show up. It’s just random stuff and food. And I’d love to see the moldy cube pix.

😆 you gals crack me up. So you can’t see the mold but she’s stated several times that she needs to get rid of them because they had their carpet cleaned awhile back (when they still had carpet) and put the cubes back before the carpet was dry and they got moldy on the bottoms.

I love a little penicillin with my storage. You never know when you might cut yourself with a craft knife or something.
So did she have another windfall and decide to buy new furniture? Or is it because she doesn’t scrap any more and doesn’t need the storage space?

So she's still at it until about 4am. At one point she said "14 hours later". She's so exhausted from organizing her supplies she's going to spend the day in bed Then her and Tiff are hanging out and taping a podcast for the next couple days, then she's going to the cabin. What a life! I'm amazed at all the mixed media supplies she has. I've never seen her do any MM projects and she's said many times on her podcast that she doesn't like messy stuff.

Www.scrapgalsretreat.blogspot.comStill some spots available. Maybe not quite the run to register as they had hoped for. And then there’s this nugget again: Why do people put up with this kind of treatment?

Is it legal to charge the fee if they cancel the event? I wonder if it was in the fine print somewhere. That's total BS, small fee or not. So unprofessional. They really are the worst.

You know I was bummed when they turned their podcast into a sub, but looking back I haven’t actually missed it or the fb group. In fact, I don’t even think about it till I see posts like this. I found quite a few podcasts to fill that void. And I have several scrapbook fb groups as well. So scrapgals was pretty easily replaced for me 😬

If they are transparent about it, I'm sure they can but I think it's a terrible policy. I am pretty sure the paypal fees are based on the amount of money they receive. So, they could have/should have requested a smaller deposit to minimize that and absorb it into their business expenses or reduce the cost to the people who registered and paid. It would be awesome if someone countered with lost interest income due to their money being tied up with the scrapgals for x number of weeks.

Never think to check Tracie's or the Scrap Gals IGs unless there's something posted here. But, then, when I do, it's always amusing. The Scrap Gals' story today was a bit of a ramble about Dec Daily and filmed in a church van? I always wonder what other people think when people film these rando IG stories like this? Both Tracie and her daughter seem really fond of IG stories and YT vlogs about the most random, mundane things. Her daughter also vlogs while driving - mostly just on the driveway, but still - A TERRIBLE idea.

Her fan girls must not mind paying since the last retreat had the same condition.

“Registration payment (including deposit) is non-refundable. We do not offer refunds for any reason, however, you may sell your spot to another individual. We usually have a wait list and will allow you to advertise your spot in our group.”
Um, BS. Maybe they had a waitlist on their very first one, but not since!

I have missed scrappy chatter and haven't found a good replacement. To be honest, most of the podcasts I have been listening to are non scrappy. But I do like Pocket Talk with Jess Forester and have just started listening to Crafty Ass Female. I also subscribe to How She Creates and that one has scrapbooking topics sometimes. There was a good episode with Paige Evans awhile back. There is one called Planner Girl chatter that looks interesting, but I haven’t listened to it yet.

I have a ton of non scrappy podcasts that I listen to just missing a good scrappy one.

For anyone keeping score at home, currently the Gals retreat has sold 40 spots but “anticipate selling the remainder around Christmas”.

Or is it because she doesn’t scrap any more and doesn’t need the storage space? I'm allergic to penicillin so no thank you. I would be afraid to find out why there is mold.
