Seeing this thread back got me thinking about the whole double donation business. She got all the money from her followers plus the super expensive surgery in 1 year. Her taxes this year must be crazy! For those of you waiting for her comeuppance, maybe the huge IRS bill is a part of it hahaha If I had to guess, all the donations are considered a gift and therefore not taxable. I don't know if she would be taxed on the value of the device she received from the hospital but I seriously doubt it.

I confused receiving gifts in excess of IRS number from one person vs. Gifts from many people that are over the IRS number ($14,000). Because many people gave her small gifts, it won't affect her. Depending on how the hosiptal went about getting her treated for free, that could still be taxable. If it counted as debt forgiveness, taxes may apply, or if it was counted as a gift (which I think we can safely assume is in excess of $14,000) then it may be taxable as well.

Gifts are never taxable as income. Gifts over $14,000 are potentially subject to gift tax which is paid by the person who gave the gift, not the recipient. (Gift tax is in place to prevent people from avoiding the estate tax by giving all their stuff to their heirs before they die).

Doesn't look like there's much happening with Tracie except her new religious podcast (and posting giant ass nails on Easter). She does keep promoting her new BFF and podcast buddy's latest collection. I know we'd discussed The Reset Girl (and her problematic ways) on here and someone pointed out a lot of her stuff was on sale at Simple Stories. Found this on Tracie's IG: "This is the last of physical product Cori will be releasing for a while so if you’re a TRG fan, don’t miss this release!" So, a possible indication there is no next line planned with Simple Stories? The Scrap Gals retreats seem to be going strong: "we have one coming up in Texas that is sold out, one in Seattle July 27-29 and Nashville the last weekend of September." #herdingkittens More WDW and Epcot (with a stay at the Art of Animation Resort) in late February. Walt Donate World. Donate Duck. Cindonaterella. I mean, the puns just write themselves at this point. And, finally, the most important of all snark: vegetables for Saint Patrick's day, y'all! Look at that, three whole slices of cucumber and four leaves of greens. Woohoo! https://www.instagram.com/p/BgceOM2hYFq

Personally, I am surprised (or maybe not?) that she is watching Roseanne.
Oh and then there's that huge piece of pie that she ate while she dined alone. #givemeallthehealthy

The thing is...I honestly really enjoy Tiffany and wish she'd break away.
When's the last time Tracie scrapped anything anyway?

Did you see the video snippet on Tori Bissell's YT channel from the cruise? Tracie is'teaching' a class where she is standing there and reading out instructions from sheets of paper. So not impressive.
Go take a look before Tracie demands that Tori remove it. I don't remember which cruise video it is on. Maybe second day.

Tracie starts at 3:50... youtu.be/5aI5kv2BN0IOMG that is 10 minutes of my life I will never get back. Tori has no idea how to film anything interesting, and looking at her when she gets up and she rambles for 5 minutes is boring and unnecessary. Narcissistic much?

I subscribed to her on YouTube for a hot minute. In one video she went on and on and on about finding "the one" and it turned out to be Jamberry nail wraps. In the other one, she was going on about people in her life not supporting or understanding her channel or scrapbooking or something. I think I listened for 5 minutes combined.

Do you know how upset I would be if I was paying for a class and all the instructor did was read the instructions from a paper (that were probably downloaded from the internet?)

I mean, are we really surprised at any of this? The people who paid for that cruise should do a little research before hitching their wagon to TC. No sympathy from me at all and she's laughing all the way to the bank. Again.

Let's not mention Tori's hairflip out of here... It was magnificent! She got all upset that we had criticised her digital SB line weeks if not months after. The self-importance and fragile ego were dripping through every every word of her goodbye post. It was ridiculous.
Tori's not much better than Tracie. Both are thin-skinned, unable to take criticism, hypocrites with a holier-than-thou attitude and a judgy finger that's quickly cast in any critic's direction. Oh well.

But her oh-help-the-poor-children-from-the-poor-country-I-will-be-going-to-on-a-Christian-mission-by-donating-scrap-stuff-I-can-bring beggy spiel was exposed as a total narcissistic farce when several months later, after having returned home and not having any plans of going back there, she held a big auction for her followers to buy all the scrappy goods she decided to part with. Yikes, the hypocrisy! Neocolonialism in its purest, simplest form. "When I go, it's a worthy cause to remind everyone of and make them contribute to! When I'm no longer there, that worthy cause is forgotten, brushed aside and left for others to worry about."

Reminds me of the Duggars going to South America and giving poor and destitute orphans a loaf of white bread and singing Christmas carols.

I think she described it as they would make the cards then sell them?

I’ve never heard of Tori before but that was an extremely poor example of vloggimg. She droned on about a bunch of random stuff and she kept forgetting what point she was trying to make. And what was up with all those videos showing where and what she was eating? I guess she has that in common with Tracie.
So she got people to donate scrappy items so she could take them on a mission then sold the leftovers?!! Donating them to her church Sunday school didn’t occur to her? Wow. Oh wait, didn’t Tracie try to sell her purged stash items at one of her classes? I think I remember reading that on a thread. Birds of a feather those two..

I don't know if Tori sold the leftovers or not. From what I recall, she got the donations for the mission trip and took them with her overseas so that the women from whatever country could make cards to sell to earn money. I *personally* have no information about Tori selling leftovers.

Having my instructor read instructions from a paper would make me so ragey if I spent all that money on a crop.
I use to follow Tori when she first started. She seemed so sweet. OMG, what tiny bit of fame will do to a person, ROFL. She went from sweet to fame ho. The flipping hair thing is not going to get her a Pantene commercial. The martyr attitude is not going to get her sainthood. Does she really think the world cares about her personal life? I mean I love a bit of personal in videos I watch but some of these girls think it's all about them. I hate to break it to them but I bet most of us wouldn't even notice them in a line at a grocery store even if we watched their videos every day. I know I shouldn't be so mean. My heart goes out to a lot of girls who do these things because they do have serious self-esteem issues. I have a soft spot protectiveness for girls who have self-esteem issues. Women, like Tori & Tracie it is clear as writing on the wall they are the girls you try to befriend and find out they are manipulative as all get out and ego monsters.

Who arranged that classroom?!!! This snippet of Tracie makes me glad I didn’t go on that cruise. Uncomfortable. I can watch a YouTube video on how to assemble a book for free from people who actually do Scrapbooking.
I can’t watch Tori. She needs therapy and a real job. “I just woke up. No that’s a lie.”
