My thoughts exactly. I like Elle's products but nope. Wont be buying anymore. SaveSaveLooked it up and it appears to have just been for that week. I am still considering emailing her just in case she decides to sponsor something else. Feedback will at least mean she isn't unaware should she opt to. Elle's Studio was credited as a sponsor at the very beginning of the show that aired yesterday. It seems to be an ongoing arrangement.

Well I will be emailing all the sponsors I can find. I want good businesses to stay in business and if you are aligning yourself with shady AF people....well, that isn't good.

By the way, did anyone end up listening to the episode in which TC apparently makes some allusions to us after she got heavily criticised for the pacemaker donations? Several of us were commenting about not wanting to increase her listenership numbers just to find out what she allegedly said. Did anyone bite the bullet and end up playing the episode?

No. I haven't listened since the Becky Higgins thread.

Ugh on Felicity Jane. That's my favorite kit club by far. Maybe it is time to switch it up. I read the Tracie thread on the NSBR board...I had no idea. The stuff with her pacemaker and then not sharing the "donations" when she had her bills forgiven (apparently because God loves her so much but not other people which is why her bills are magically forgiven while other people get to declare bankruptcy or pay for years and years) is just icky to me. She is not a good person, which I kind of knew, but not to the extent. I wish her well, but will no longer be supporting her or the show or any of her other projects.

Looked it up and it appears to have just been for that week. I am still considering emailing her just in case she decides to sponsor something else. Feedback will at least mean she isn't unaware should she opt to. I think it is important to let sponsors know. If you have a link I will respond as well. This is her contact information: info@shopellesstudio.com

I'll make the sacrifice and see if i can find the episode and transcribe the pertinent parts. I'm torn because I really enjoy listening to Tiffany and have been following her adventures in Europe. I understand that none of us is perfect and at times we all do things that others don't approve of. But Tracie has crossed the line and I find her sanctimoniousness as a Christian so NOT Christian.

I understand that none of us is perfect and at times we all do things that others don't approve of. But Tracie has crossed the line and I find her sanctimoniousness as a Christian so NOT Christian. I am trying to write a note to Elle and it's breaking my heart. I can't stop buying from her yet...but I'm a very emotion based person and know that the time will come if her sponsorship continues...not because I am that determined to bring anyone associated with Tracie down, but because of how I'll view her products without even meaning to. If something brings forth a negative emotion, I can't have that item in my life. I once won hundreds and hundreds of dollars in product from a company. There was a person in the contest who assumed she'd win and when she realized she wasn't winning it anymore, she started to bash the person who was catching up and taking over her lead (me). These people attacked my child (by stating that he will grow up to be a terrible person because I was a terrible person) after she lied and stated that I was contacting her behind the scenes and making threats. I didn't find out who she was until someone told me she had been posting on the sponsor's page. When I finally won (I didn't give up because of the principle of the matter...but I felt sick to my stomach the whole week not being able to defend myself) and received the products...I took pictures of the contents and put them away. I've hardly touched any of it because all I see when I look at it is the reminder of someone else's ruthlessness to defame and harm someone else just for stuff. When I look at anything from that company, I am reminded of it and become dismayed and saddened all over again. When my sister bashed me to distant relatives over feeling a fair division of one of my father's assets was in order if she decided to sell it, I let it go...and when she finally felt like giving me some items from him, my heart wasn't in it...I delayed going for weeks because I didn't want anything to do with it anymore. I can't open the box of stuff from him that I have and I can barely touch the things she insisted I take because the accusations come flooding back to me when I do. So, to say that if Elle continues to support Tracie in any fashion that I can overlook the tie in would be a lie. It will become all I see when I look at her products. So even if I WANT to overlook it, I just can't. It will hurt my heart too much.

Bored today so I toyed with the idea of starting an Instagram for Tracies Conscience. Not sure I care enough to invest that much effort but it made me laugh thinking of post ideas.
I'm definitely contacting sponsors. What are our main talking points so the sponsors "hear" the message? 1. She was recently involved in a go find me scam. She took over 20k donated for medical bills that were forgiven or donated by the hospital and surgeon. She can't afford health insurance, but can afford to go to Disneyworld, buy an iPad Pro, and eat every meal at restaurants. 2. Her online conduct. Her involvement in drama and gossip on Facebook.
What else?

Her online conduct. Her involvement in drama and gossip on Facebook. That's when I knew I was done with her. Also her bad reviews of the WRMK typewriter and keeping that review secret (as much as you can on the internet!), while trying to get free product from them and other companies.

The thing is, you know she's using the coattails of Jen for these sponsors. There is no way that FJ and ES both being sponsors is somehow a huge coincidence. Is there anything recognizable that she's done that doesn't have another big name stamped right there beside it? I wonder if Jen feels taken advantage of or if these were suggestions she made. They just seem like such opposites...their only common thread is being super religious and being memory keepers...but I don't understand how people don't see straight through how fake Tracie is, even her faith doesn't seem genuine...it comes off as being purely for personal gain because it somehow makes her seem honest and wholesome. If Jen recommended the sponsorship or at least got SG together with FJ and ES, then those companies are probably trusting her opinion and not looking for anything else.
I also wonder how much of our honesty here actually helps Tracie out. Like I said, even though we are being TRUTHFUL, it can seem kind of 'mean girl's club' without knowing the context. Most people who show up in a TC thread midway through aren't handslappy to us, but instead are intrigued enough to figure out why we're being so harsh and agree when they get caught up. But if you only look in bits and pieces, it could easily fan the flame that TC is a victim and not the perpetrator who deserves to be called out. It feels so much like the election to me. All the truth telling of Trump was taken as bullying by his supporters and it helped him win the Presidency...nevermind that the name calling, drama and other over the top political nastiness went both ways...he played himself to be some sort of victim every time someone said anything negative about him while burying the fact that he was so much worse with the name calling and such. Not at all trying to get political, but I just see so many correlations!!!!!!

There are shitty people in the world that continue to be successful despite their shittiness. Tracie may just be one of those who continues to succeed despite her behavior. That's on her. I'll own my judgement and continue giving my business to people with more integrity or at least the social intelligence to hide their perfidy.

What else? Just to be factual--there was no GoFundMe set up. It was a button placed on her blog that linked directly to her husband's Paypal account. This was done after several members of the FB group asked where to send funds. She acted reluctant to do it but did post links to it several times upon request. Supposedly she was going to create some kind of content as a "thank you" for those who donated but as of yet, has not. (I made a small donation at the very beginning before I found out the kind of person she really is.) A simple email to say thank you would have been nice but obviously she couldn't be bothered. I consider what she did to the one member of her group cyber-bullying. The pile on that she allowed was atrocious.

scrapaddict702 Hugs to you. Big hugs! Don't feel alone I have boxes of things too that take me years to open because of a douche bag. I know we are not supposed to let them win but it can be hard. That horrid woman who verbally attacked your baby there is a special place in hell for her. This is why I love threads like these. I am emotional based driven on my purchases too. I can't tell you how many times I have bought an item only to find out the sketchiness or hatefulness of it all. I will tell myself things like "Well, don't take it out on the product. It is not the products fault." In the end I can't use it, product sets around living in my home rent free and I have that company or person responsible for that products toxic vampirism living in my home!!!! I don't really buy from the big Scrap stars any more even if I find it on clearance. Way too much drama and shadiness now. I hope the Generationals that are watching us X'ers act like idiots in this industry take note and bring up the game. We are depending on you now, lol. I know a few are thinking of starting up companies. Girls don't think your mean girling Traci. Traci is a business woman and she is running her business badly even if it is just a podcast and retreat. If companies want to align themselves with her then they also deserve to be looked at more cautiously. This is your hard earned money they want to take. Don't hand it out if your side eyeing.

Saying "I'd like your opinion about why people feel so entitled to their opinions" and misrepresenting the many thoughtful posts about why many felt Becky had made a mistake in how she launched her "Home" line. That was unprofessional of Tracie and shows VERY POOR business acumen.

Not on her own FB page or even in a random scrapbook group with no name attached...and she calls Victoria Marie a friend.

I definitely don't have any pull to make her come to that because of my say so, lol.

And then there's a description of what can be purchased at Elle's Studio and the website address. Maybe Tracie is using that as a stepping stone to get other sponsors. Several sponsors of the retreat actually attended the retreat. Did Elle?

Several sponsors of the retreat actually attended the retreat. Did Elle? My guess is that Tracie promised to mention the crop sponsors on The podcast as part of their "compensation" agreement for the crop sponsorship. I'm sure she doesn't even realize that to listeners (and the companies) there would be a difference between a crop sponsor and a podcast sponsor. Another business mistake that while minor in itself, is consistent with the big picture that she has already created.

What? Rewind a second.
Tracie Claiborne took money from people/scrapbookers for a medical procedure, and then that procedure was funded by someone or something else?
What happened to all of the donated money?
