Throwing out vauge insults.... who would want to be a guest after this? Always a martyr when she should be gracious. See second paragraph.

"I would *like* to say my support of fellow creatives was reciprocated..." Unfortunately it hasn't been, because I've tried to help these ungrateful women out, and they haven't bent over backwards to thank me for it! how rude! Wow, only she could take a post about something uplifting, like International Women's Day, and make it all about HER!!

Jeez, narcissistic much? There's a whole lot of me/I/my in that post that should have been a moment to uplift. If she's only inviting women to her podcast that can benefit her in someway, then she needs to be upfront about that. Have a contract, and IDK, maybe pay people for their time if you have an expectation of an "exchange". This reminds me why I disengaged from all things Tracie/Scrap Gals.

I'm so glad she "helped" other women. She should have said used.

How sad she is to have such a skewed definition of support - purely only based on financial gain, apparently.

So, in her first paragraph, she says she invited other women business owners to advertise with her, solely to help them. Then in the second paragraph, she indicates that they did not return the favor by promoting her business. If she expected them to do that, she was NOT solely trying to help them. She expected something in return that would benefit herself.
I assume that they probably had to pay for the privilege of advertising with her. Paying for advertising would eliminate any other obligation on their part IMO. She could have paid them to advertise her business, too. Such would have been a mutually beneficial arrangement, and fair to both sides.
It sounds to me like she expected a free promotion from those women, after they were expected to pay to advertise with her.

Oh please. Is she done shooting herself in the foot yet?
She needs to just STOP.

No one can ever adequately repay her kindness. She’s just such a giver. Cough cough.

Extending the milk of human kindness with one hand while totaling up the return on investment with the other. Real nice, TC!

She is something else. I wonder how those who have been on her show in the past feel about this? She's so narcissistic. I seriously wish she would fall of the face of scrapbooking.

Wow. What a thoughtful, moving post celebrating how business women can support each other up, stand together, and do great things...
NOT.
Someone I like, who has been a guest of TC's, asked me if I would be interested in joining them on said podcast at one time and I politely said "I won't be able to do that" without specifying why. It looks like I made the right choice there.

And for the record...she gets back EXACTLY what she puts out. One cannot swoon and fan girl over one person and then treat other people like they don't matter and expect that to be overlooked.

I wonder if anyone calls her out in the comments about this post? Seriously? How does she think its ok to post this in her 'only positive posts' group? And where is her co-host in all this? I lose so much respect for her when she just sits back and allows this crap to go on.

It's on her personal IG not the group. Probably only fan girls follow her there. It's so passive aggressive.

To her credit, she's always predictable. A legend in her own mind.

one of the comments: "Beautifully said, tracieclaiborne. Women working together to lift each other up is a beautiful thing. 💙💙💙"
beautifully said?!? Women lifting each other UP?!?
I think they're not reading her words closely enough... Reading comprehension-- it's a good thing.
ETA: but, she's getting the positive accolades she's apparently looking for, so maybe I shouldn't care that the commenters are overwhelmingly sheeple... ?? maybe I'm just being super-duper-extra cynical today.

Oi, that's a crock o' shit if I ever read one. 'helping' ≠'networking'. Networking comes with the expectation of reciprocation, the 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine' philosophy of business building. If you're expecting a return on investment, be it money, goods or time, you're not being charitable, so stop trying to sound like it. There's nothing wrong with networking or mutually beneficial arrangements, but you don't get to paint your horse black and white and call it a zebra.
And I find it somewhat amusing that all this 'helping' is in a field already heavily, heavily dominated by female personalities. It's the de-facto standard, hardly something worthy of praise on its own.

I wish I could post a screen shot but I don't know how. I just posted on Tracie's IG: I'm a follower. Or I should say, I USED to be a follower. I just got blocked. I sent that woman $50 when she asked for funds for her heart surgery. I was one of those gullible enough to fall for it all. I've been watching these threads and watching my tongue for long enough, and when I saw her post the other day, that was it. I posted a response to her "veiled insult" to those creative souls that don't kiss her ass enough because I took it too personally. Looking back, I don't even know why I did it. I'm not usually one to fall for that kind of thing, but I really think I thought I was helping her out, and I did listen to her free (then) podcast, so I justified it. Never again. Twit has just rubbed it in our faces, all her trips, eating out, and all the while I'm living paycheck to paycheck. I'm sure my $50 wouldn't have put me in the poor house, but she sure has hell didn't need one dime of my money. One of my dear friends, in her 70's and on a limited income, sent her $250 back then, and she got a personal thank you note from Tracie. Me? For $50, I guess I didn't quite meet the donation level to warrant such a response. I was pissed then, but even more so today after reading her post on IG. Since she blocked me and deleted my much-too-long-winded diatribe, I got mad and posted a little response to her via Stacy Julian, Crafty Jen Schow, and Tiffany Lowder on their IG's, hoping she'd see it there, along with all the rest of her fan girls. I'd love it someone could find one for me and repost it here, just so I have it before it gets deleted which I'm sure soon enough it will. I've just had enough.

If anyone cares to see if anyone else comments on the post I wrote, go to the Instagram of Stacy Julian, Crafty Jen Schow, and Tiffany Lowder. I posted it in the comments of their most recent scrapbook related posts. I'm sure it'll get taken down soon enough and I'll get blocked from them, too. Fuck it.

It's on Stacy Julian's second to her last Instagram post. (I don't know how to put something here, either.) Anyway, good on ya!

Wish I knew how to post a screenshot. Someone else commented and her response is priceless. Actually saying "using social media to bully and criticize others is simply not the way to a successful life"
Does she realize her passive aggressive post was a total criticism? And her response is basically don't bully me but I can bully you. Self realization does not exist with this one.

She needs to edit herself. Save most of it for her whiny-pants journal.
Reading it again, she'd really could've cut 80% of the self-congratulatory BS at the beginning, and then deleted the bitter complaining about all the ungrateful bitches she's helped, and just posted the last paragraph. That part is a fairly nice, positive message and appropriate for the day and the context.
IG isn't really a place for essays anyway. Most people probably only read the first 3 lines, if even that.
