Heidi has a person doing her social media. Heidi's smart.  Well, not so much if said hired person isn't critically reading and considering the brand impact of the posts before clicking 'Like'... |

No worries anybody. I don't feel attacked. Remember I am the girl last year who had bricks thrown at her home by the KKK because "I like and talk to black people!" It takes a lot to make me feel attacked.  I didn't feel attacked. I have a cheeky sense of humor. I am light-hearted about things. I am truly sorry to any Mom who I upset with my free-range ignorance and image conjuring. I really do understand. You are doing great. I want you to know that. I admire those who are raising children today in all of this climate. It is so challenging and hard. I mean this so heartfelt I really would not want to be a parent now. I would be so stressed and upset on a daily basis. I understand how an innocent comment could be upsetting. That's the only reason I made my past post. I didn't want to stress or upset anyone more than they are. Since I am already going for gold in upsetting I will add another one, lol. It's about Heidi. Now, you all know one of my biggest pet peeve's that I complain about a lot are the scrap stars that use "I am a Mother" excuse. I am taking my own life experience here. I lost two children. Many years ago I mentioned losing my little girl. I remember Tracie sending me a P.M. how sorry she was. It was very sweet. For all that I think of Tracie I do think she has a soft heart for children and an empathy for those who lost children. I know she has sent nice messages to other women too. I know this is only speculation but that could be why Heidi is being so kind. Losing a child is a grief that I can never put into words. It certainly should never be a debate. I think Heidi probably remembers this kindness (if she answered the IG and not her PR). If I remember correctly a lot of people were not kind about Heidi losing her child. I think she is going to remember kindness over controversy. I guess what I am trying to say is let this slide on Heidi. I know I do love Heidi. I am not a fan girl. Heidi has made mistakes in the past and does fix them. I wouldn't boycott her over this. IMO this is probably a Mother remembering a kindness in a part of her life that will always be dark and a nightmare to her. I hope nobody thinks that I am using this as "I am a Mother" excuse. I am truly not. What I am trying to say this is grief and mourning. I know some of you have lost someone, you were treated kindly, few months or years later you found out something about that person and you just let it slide or ignore it because you remember how they treated you. |

What the what the what the flying flippity flapjacks. WHAT THE EFF. THAT STILL HAPPENS IN 2019?!!? What is *wrong* with the people who live near you? Scratch that, what is wrong with people? Who would DO that? Why? I'm sorry that just ... does not compute to me. Intellectually I know it's a thing and there are probably even worse things happening out there right now but, ugh. Where do I turn in my 'human' membership? I'd like to sign up to be, I dunno, maybe a mountain or something. A nice big boulder. Maybe a small asteroid... |

Sadly Embri it does still happen. I do admit I am still have anxiety about it. The President and Vice-President live in my neighborhood. The President is not the problem but his VP is. The VP attacked several in our neighborhood area last year. The police have been amazing. It is still stressful and upsetting. Life in the Mid-South. My DH & I have talked about moving. We are seriously thinking of it. We worked so hard for our home. We are liked and respected in our area. I do live around a lot of racism. I see it on a daily basis. I am still getting things said to me. Then others in my area are so kind. My DH now wants to get a gun because he said it's the KKK thing. What is really upsetting is that the police here discussed with him about getting a gun for our home. Trust me girls I am not feeling attacked over here. IRL my stress level is through the roof right now, lol. |

I can't fathom living somewhere where getting a gun is meant to make you feel safer. The only gun I've seen in person was part of a museum exhibit, for goodness sakes. Even that felt wrong.  |

Unfollowing Heidi on IG is not boycotting her (or Retrohipmama) it's just me getting them off my IG feed. I've never bought anything from RHM and I don't buy a lot from HS either, but would if something strikes my fancy. I'm just not going to help anyone else prop up that loser Tracie. I'm sure there are a lot of people that sent condolences to HS that are otherwise miserable human beings that I'd rather not support.

I think a lot of scrap companies and celebs follow each other. It’s just part of the social media portion of their business. I was surprised to find Jennifer Maguire, Inkie Quill, and Felicity Jane all follow TC. Hopefully it’s only because someone they follow follows her so they just add her not knowing about Pacergate and other similar incidents.

'Pacergate'? 0_o ... involving a pacemaker? Sounds like I need to do some more digging in the archives of history.

She’s a piece of work. “It’s my Instagram/Facebook group, so I can say mean things but no one can call me on it and if you don’t want me to block you, like my post.”
I stopped listening because I can’t stand her questioning style. She only wants agreement so after she says what she thinks, she says, “Don’t you think?” Usually this automatically makes the person you are taking to agree with you and it drives me nuts. It’s so unprofessional and one sided that I couldn’t listen anymore. Rather than asking for their idea or system, she pushes the guest (or Tiffany) to agree with her.
And on a super petty note, I can’t stand the way she says collage.

Is there something about scrapbooking that attracts The Crazy, or is it just the law of averages? I think the most appalling part was soliciting donations for healthcare and then refusing to pass along those funds to someone else in need when Tracy's procedure (did she even have surgery? there's so much baloney in there I'm not sure any of her 'facts' are trust-worthy) was deemed au gratis. |

True enough; it's easier to find the 'sensational' stories now more than ever.

Now she’s building a new house. What’s up with all these Scrapbooking “business” people who must build new houses. She said she’s tired of the old one. Tiffany may be moving to the PNW.
