Whoever resurrected this thread I thank you! Was hoping we could get more threads and posting on SBR!
I found this interesting on the blog:
This is my last time to offer a Ready, Sketch, Go! class. I am launching a new website and business in early 2018 so I will be taking a break from online scrapbook classes for a while, perhaps forever. That's why I'm so happy that this class offers so much great content: it was one last labor of love for me.
Thank you to all of you who have so sweetly supported my online classes the last two years. Big, happy and fun adventures are on the horizon so this is only the beginning but I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed creating content for you and being inspired by you all in return!

I may actually be able to support Jen now! If she does the sketch class on her own in the future and/or with other contributors, I'm much more likely to support her! I still enjoy Jen, but couldn't support her knowing her ties with Tracie. If they want to stay friends, cool for them, but as long as they are separate (aside from maybe the retreat hosted in Utah or whatever...don't follow to know if she was involved or not) professionally, I can hop back on the Jen is awesome bandwagon, lol.

as a non listener of podcasts lol...is this common for a host to ask for donations? Every now and then I see some free things, like wikipedia asking for donations... so I am curious if it is common among podcasts to ask for help w/ fees etc.

None of the ones i listen to have flat out asked for donations.

I thought that was the point of sponsors. I wonder if she's funding the retreat with the donations. It's all too shady. The retreat, her daily lunches with her bestie/co-host, any upcoming trips, etc. Shady lady indeed. I found this interesting on the blog: This is my last time to offer a Ready, Sketch, Go! class. I am launching a new website and business in early 2018 so I will be taking a break from online scrapbook classes for a while, perhaps forever. That's why I'm so happy that this class offers so much great content: it was one last labor of love for me.Tracie announced earlier this summer she's leaving SBing (except, apparently, not really) and going into handlettering (via iPad). Yah, much business opportunity, such entrepreneur, wow. I listen to quite a few podcasts and none of them ask for donations. They may do a series of special episodes for charity (such as sending in a donation to have them roast someone) but the donations are never sent straight to their personal Paypal addresses or other shady Paypal addresses! Most rely on a mix of sponsors (occasional or regular) and Patreon. Sending money straight to sweet Tracie means you're giving her cash. No trail, no taxes, nada. She can do whatever she wants with it. And that podcast is not well-produced enough to need a lot of money. Just hosting fees, essentially. She's asking for money as a reward for her time spent talking and editing. Those sponsors, including Studio Calico, pay for the rest (and more). Don't you worry...

I am going to look at this as a positive. I have a feeling the scrapbook industry is distancing themselves from her. Really, if that is the case then she is really not going to be "In the Know" about the industry because she won't be in the industry. She won't need donations because her podcast won't be about scrapbooking industry it will be about scrapbooking speculations. We all do that for free over here, lol.

I need someone to set up a Go fund Me for a new Louis Vuitton purse. I think my life will be infinitely better if I own it and because I am that special you all need to donate to the fund. Realistically it’s *only* $2800 and to keep me in the lifestyle you all have afforded me I think you should all donate $10. I need someone to start a Go Fund Me for this of course and my PayPal is elannahwantslouis@gmail.com. I might also receive free surgery because I want liposuction done, too. Thank you.

I don’t know what the holdup is I mean I am great and know it of course. I also want liposuction done so I need at least $5000 for that. I mean it’s not that much money. Just think about all that I give to you guys with my online persona and raw talent. I am so amazing aren’t I?

I think the request for money is in poor taste considering the REAL tragedy going on in the US this week. I'm not saying other people shouldn't benefit from charity/donation seeking, but couldn't she at least wait a week or two? I know where my donated dollars are going right now and it's certainly not to her.

This on top of askingbutnotreallyasking for donations for her surgery just is, I can't even come up with a term.

So it looks like in order to donate to Tracie...oops, I mean Scrap Gals... you need a PayPal account. What about all her fans who don't have one? She's missing out on what could be nice chunk of change. Also, if she's getting out of scrapbooking does that mean she won't be doing podcasts? If that's the case she'd only need enough money to get through a couple more months.

oh, you can pay for something via Paypal, even if you don't have a Paypal account- you just pay with a credit card as a guest. (I'm sure she'd explain that to anyone who asked, lol...)

Maybe I am just hangry, I usually don't judge people on what they eat because I walk a tight rope every day trying not to eat everything in sight because I am on Weight Watchers. But it is a slap on the face to the people who gave her money for her surgery when she flaunts all the dining out and especially since the food she is eating looks the opposite of heart healthy. Then when confronted with anything she plays the religious card and comes off like a hypocrite. MEOW!

Then when confronted with anything she plays the religious card and comes off like a hypocrite. MEOW! Remember when she was recovering from her heart surgery at her mother's and IGed eating two bowls of vanilla ice-cream with warm chocolate sauce? And then, a few days later, boasted about finally having her first proper meal since her surgery and she posted a pic from the restaurant featuring a freakin' fried onion? That gal has no sense of shame (or decency).
