Can we discuss why in the name of all things holy her husband went to the retreat with his band and played a mini concert? Why?!? Actually, I thought that was kinda sweet. Tracie sang too! Maybe her transition from scrapbooking has started. I think it could be sweet - but I dunno. If I signed up to scrapbook then I wanna scrapbook. Not listen to the hubs band. SaveSave

If I signed up to scrapbook then I wanna scrapbook. Not listen to the hubs band. SaveSaveThis is why I was never interested in their retreats. I don’t want to go on a tour, watch a concert, learn to take selfies, etc. I just want to enjoy my friends’ company and make some pages. The first retreat involved a trip to a warehouse sale (sc or ac?) which would be cool, but I recall the itinerary included watching them record a podcast or two...do people have to silently sit there? Their event wasn’t structured enough workshops to fill the time and not loose enough to make me want to drag my scrap stuff to an event. Then again, I am not their target audience regardless of my participation in this and other threads.

Wait, what? "learn to take selfies" was part of the scrapping retreat? I thought it was just scrapping w/a few lessons/supplies thrown in.

She seems nice - she has a lovely warm face.

Sweet with a good sense of humor.

Because then everyone in the immediate circle gets to benefit from the retreat in one way or another? Her daughter was there too and you can bet she brought a case of copies of her book to sell (just because people were interested, of course ). It also consolidates the fangirl loyalty (she brought her whole family, how nice and personal!) and gives the impression of direct access, of some sort of friendship bond with the "star" of the event. Gotta pat those faithful listeners and Paypal donors on the back...

You need an Rx for it and you get it from your doctor. You can go to a GP and ask for the generic as my experience tells me it works as good as the name brand. There is also Careprost and there are several of us on NSBR who use it who have great luck with it as well. It just depends how much money you want to spend. There are also growth serums out there and they seem to work as well.

I do believe someone took the pic down. Trying to access it directly from the embed link returned a "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram." Good call, whoever decided to get that pic off social media. Screen shots people! Screen shots! You know she monitors this site obsessively. She got her cult member to delete it....

I should've screenshot the post. Rookie mistake. Several photos I'd seen yesterday in the #scrapgalsretreat tag have disappeared as well. Oh, Tracie Claiborne, you little navel-gazing thing! I see you and your bag of old tricks.

I follow Tiffany's IG and blog (although i never read blogs anymore). I like her humor and enjoy following her adventures in the summer. I also enjoy listening to her on the podcast. Unfortunately she comes packaged with Tracie. So i dropped the podcast. I know some people like the social aspect of a retreat/crop, but I'm there to get stuff done. Earbuds in if too many people are yakking. My friends know i have a limit to socializing at a crop. Some of my group keep trying to get me to join their retreat at a house. For me, that would be torture. I live with men, there is no chit chat, I like it that way.

I am going on record to say I don't want to hear anyone's husband's band at any crop retreat I go to, unless it is Bruno Mars. And I don't want to hear my crop hostess singing along with microphone in hand unless the crop hostess is Katy Perry singing Firework. lisacharlotte I am totally with you on the crop yacking.

When I get home from work where I have to deal with all the people all day long, I want my quiet. He didn't get the dude memo I guess.

I peeked at her daughter's book. She seems like a lovely beautiful girl. I admire her for writing a book at that age to inspire other girls. I loved it was about rising above bullying. After I read the blurb about the book I thought about it and her Mother is a BULLY! I don't think Little Miss Tracie realizes the book that her daughter wrote is about rising above her own Mother. Her Mother is the kind of girl who terrorizes, demeans, bullies, and emotionally traumatizes the girls who are her own daughter. Tracie has probably been doing this since grade school. I hope Tracie's daughter's book is successful. I hope she knows she can find success without her Mother's involvement. She is her own beautiful person. myboysnme That Bruno Mars comment made me laugh so hard. The only way I want music at a crop too. I wouldn't get anything done.

I've been trying to watch my $$ and not buy much sb'g and then ended up spending over $100 in make-up last month and this month. Oooo what did you get? I tried lipsense a few months ago. It's a cult, I tell you! ROFL! I stopped wearing lipstick and make-up when my ds15 was born. 1) I didn't have time to even put it on with a wee one, 2) I didn't like the lipstick marks all over his face. Then as he grew and dd came to be, he didn't like me wearing it. This lipsense stuff really doesn't come off. Of course DH, DS, and DD all bend away when I go to kiss them still, and I still have to say "it doesn't come off", even after 3 months. I have now tried their eye shadow and their tinted moisturizer, with that you don't need a foundation. So I have more eye shadow and more lipsense coming.

I'm going to join the makeup convo and say I just recently tried it too. I am addicted. It doesn't last all day for me but lasts long enough to be life changing. I have bitty kids About 2 months ago I may have found myself at the NARS counter and spent $250. It happened in seconds. I may have blacked out. I'm still thrilled every day I put on my makeup.

Someone brought back up the VM FB group post about TC's rant about how awful it was to have an opinion (that wasn't praise) by sharing her negative opinion and that it wasn't welcome in her group, lol. Me thinks it's likely someone was trying to stir the pot over here...after the mad rush to delete IG posts (I will admit the conversation about TC's appearance and/or photos on this thread made me uncomfortable) it makes me wonder if they were somehow related to each other.

I am the one who linked to the IG pic of the Scrap Gals "herding kittens" and it had very little to do with Tracie's appearance. You can check back in this thread and go to my post (although, obviously, the IG pic no longer shows). It was my favourite picture because dayum, the cheerleaders were creaming hard and also, as I mentioned back then, it was so close to being a Nazi salute. Which does not mean I was implying Tracie's a Nazi or whatever. It was just one of those WTF photos. From the two stanners in the foreground to Tracie in the background. Nothing looked good or right! I'm not sure what you mean by the Victoria Marie FB group post and my posting my fave pic I'd found in the #scrapgalsretreat tag on IG being related. There's literally no relationship. I'm not even in the VM FB group (or in any scrappy FB group). I'm snarky as huck, that's all.

Tie in: maybe in her haste to have pics removed that were being discussed here, she or a minion resurrected the post to remind people how 'awful' we are. And I wasn't pointing fingers at anyone specific regarding my comment about the IG posts including her. Sorry if that isn't coherent. I am trying to type on my phone one handed as I burned the thumb on my other hand and have an ice pack on it, lol. Nothing else I have tried helps with the pain.

Oh, alright, now I get what you meant! Sorry, it's late over here and my brain's already half-disconnected. I thought you were implying a pot-stirrer had infiltrated our ranks... You're right that it's possible that particular discussion on the VM FB group got bumped because there is private talk amongst the "Scrap Gals kittens" about why Tracie asked some retreat participants to take down their photos on social media. I guess the proof about us in their pudding? We don't ask other people on here to delete things. It's a public forum that is very easy to access and check. We've never mean-girled Tracie. I fail to see how we're the bad people in this story but, then again, good sense is not people's favourite means to making decisions. Ah, Tracie Claiborne, you're just lucky you found some willing participants to feed your grifty ways... ETA: Yikes about your burn! I hope you've going to keep regularly icing it for a while. I've had my fair share and there is no relief in the immediate aftermath than cooling the skin.
