sneakily posted on various forums for the purpose of gossiping & belittling others, indignantly insulted anyone who disagreed with our opinion on scrapbook related topics, &/or treated people as poorly as she has allegedly using her own name & photo. This. I have seen her time and again belittle people in her group and on her podcast if they either have a different opinion or like something she "is bored with" or "doesn't have time for." She had a post asking for people's opinion, and several gave it. The ones who apparently didn't align with the unanimous and overwhelming support of her own opinion (which she didn't state during the question, so it seemed like she genuinely wanted opinions) were belittled and explained to why they were wrong, in a sweet southern way. I had to leave at that point. She could have easily let her followers and friends know about her medical issue and that she would be out of commission for a while, and even ask for prayers for it to go well, WITHOUT bringing up how much it would cost. She only did that knowing that people would want to help and offer to send money. If that truly was not her motivation, why mention the cost at all? She very well knew what she was doing. And having it go to her husband's paypal (instead of Go Fund Me or to her own paypal) seems shady. I was surprised she didn't have a class sale to raise some funds. I guess that would be considered income though. Her posting to Victoria Marie's group instead of her own was rude and seems to go against what she's posting now to instagram about the meanies. She's a mean girl/queen bee wannabee but deletes all traces of her true self that she can. Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Was it on her Instagram page? I don't see it. Wonder if someone called her out so she deleted it. I just a look and yeah she deleted it. Not to just quietly delete something and move on, Tracie commented on it on the next post she did. From her Instagram: PS: I deleted my last post. I was feeling wearied by the world but I've decided to focus on the positive for now and guard my heart and eyes. SaveSave

SaveSaveI wish her God would speak to her about how emotionally immature she makes herself appear. He seems to speak to her about all manner under the sun, but never "Tracie, dear. Stop. Please. Just stop. You're hurting what is left of your business reputation by these mindless whining posts about how mean people are. They are not responding to you as a person, though they might have things to say there too. They are responding to how you present yourself as a business. And it's not good. Philippians 2:14 my daughter." Or something like that. Verse 14 says, very succinctly, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing.”"

I took a peak at her instagram feed on my way to work -- now she's setting up a shop for hand lettering or something and is polling people for ideas. Shouldn't she come up with her own ideas?

Methinks Tracie doth protest too much...I'm sure she is relishing in her newfound infamy. No such thing as bad publicity, and all that.

I stopped listening to her podcast a long time ago, but always did enjoy her cohost. Is the podcast still going on - just curios?

I think I'm just about out of words with this one. And that's something right there, cause I have lots of words usually. She for real makes me want to stab myself in the eye rather than read what she posts anymore. I really do root for these small business women to make it and be successful with what they do or offer, but she makes me want to boycott anything and everything she's associated with. And yet, there are still people who stand by her. Which begs the question, why?

It is curious. I'm also one to support the struggling entrepreneur, but her whole schtick has become so distasteful. It definitely colors my impression of those associated with her.

If she was relishing in it, I'm sure she would be posting less about the 'meanies'. She seems to really love the drama, but maybe not so much when she's the one being picked apart for showing her true colors?

The only way Tracie is going to take any of what we say to heart and possibly do something about it, is if it hits her pocketbook hard. That means her devoted followers would have to turn away like Americans and Nixon. Tracie actually makes really good points except for the fact that she is doing exactly what she is speaking out against.
I would like to think that ripping people off for non existent pacemaker bills would be enough, but sadly, it isn't because she is still in business. So what will it take?

"if you're an awful person online than you're an awful person in real life." hahahahaha the hypocrisy. It's ironic she doesn't see how clearly she is guilty of exactly that. Personality disorders are fascinating. (Well, unless you claim to be the leader of the free world and then it's just scary...) OK, I'm glad I wasn't drinking something when I read that. My keyboard doesn't like it when I choke on my water. hahahhaa

In response to the latest "social media brings out the worst in us" lettering project: 1) The font is difficult to read, which means readers are more focused on deciphering the words than considering their meaning. 2) The stream of consciousness style of writing is appropriate for personal journal entries, not on posts meant for public consumption. 3) Scolding people who use social media as a fellow user on one of your social media accounts undermines credibility & dilutes the message. It's also obviously disrespectful to the host. 4) While I & others choose to engage anonymously online, most of us have never shamelessly solicited & kept donations under false pretense, sneakily posted on various forums for the purpose of gossiping & belittling others, indignantly insulted anyone who disagreed with our opinion on scrapbook related topics, &/or treated people as poorly as she has (allegedly) using her own name & photo. 5) I'm surprised no one in her life - spouse, child, parent, friend, business partner, etc. - has encouraged her to stop the constant display of blatant narrcisism & lack of business acumen that undoubtedly has & will continue to damage her reputation & success. 6) Since she still hasn't learned to think before she posts, I predict it will disappear in 3, 2,... Of course she deleted it. She got called on it. Only those who participate in the unicorns and rainbows are allowed in "the happy life".

Guess who decided to follow me on YT? I have almost no videos and they are all pretty crappy anyway, lol. Definitely not my strong suit because I hate hearing the sound of my own voice and will never edit or watch back anything I've made as a result...so that also means I have almost no followers...which then means she intentionally went searching to find my account...it's not like she just stumbled upon my channel or anything. This is definitely not normal behavior, nor is it behavior of someone who enjoys being the center of attention outside of the perimeters she sets. So it looks like she's sleuthing to unmask people...I, however, stated who I was because there was NO NEED for me to hide. I stand behind my criticisms.
My Grandma passed away this morning...her dramatic crap is so the least of my concerns right now.

Thanks, everyone! My Mom called me this morning (she never calls me in the morning) so I knew something serious had happened. Both of my grandparents have had a tough year, so it wasn't entirely unexpected. I am still waiting to hear more details and if I can be up there for the service for my Mom. I haven't been close to my grandma for a while, but with everything that she's been going through coupled with retrieving a bunch of childhood photos from my sister (many of which included my Grandma), she's been on my mind a lot lately.

I'm so sorry for your loss scrapaddict702. I guess Tracie's creepy move solidifies the fact that she does indeed read here. All this time I've given her the benefit of the doubt. Sad.

I'm so sorry for your loss scrapaddict702 . I guess Tracie's creepy move solidifies the fact that she does indeed read here. All this time I've given her the benefit of the doubt. Sad. It didn't show her as a subscriber when I went into my account details to block her...so it appears she might have done so (and outed herself) on accident (or maybe on purpose because the chatter had died down and she couldn't stand not being the center of attention...who knows), but clearly she's cyber stalking anyone whom she can put a face to a name of. Very disconcerting since I blocked her on all other social media where I am active just to avoid any overlap where we have anything in common (be it groups or people we both may follow on IG, that sort of thing). I wasn't kidding when I said I was glad to see this thread off of the first page...I'm not posting her IG posts here or screen capping anything, I'm just giving my 2 cents on things other people are posting, so why she feels compelled to stalk me is baffling. I'm sure that her inner circle is using my name as fodder since *sarcastic gasp* she knows my name. But here's the thing. I might hold my tongue a bit more in person to be polite or to avoid conflict, but I don't troll online just because I have a screen name 'protecting' my identity. I am exactly the person in real life that I am online...just a bit shyer in the real world. I haven't done or said anything to be ashamed of (except where I've admitted in this entire saga and legitimately apologized for those unnecessary statements) and am about as honest as you can get. You'd think I was catholic with how much guilt I carry if I feel like I've wronged someone, usually without meaning to. I completely admit that in certain instances, I can be hypocritical, but one thing I cannot stand is someone who thinks they're better than everyone else and will not admit to or realize their own hypocrisy. Hypocrites who hide behind faith in an attempt to assert themselves as better than others are among the worst. So I tend to not bite my tongue in regards to those types of people.

Huh, i'm not exactly anonymous here. and I don't feel bad about anything I've written about Tracie. Talk about projecting.
ETA: badly worded post, not calling out scrapaddict702, just analyzing Tracie's need to call out people for the same thing she does. The point about me being not very anonymous is mostly how not scared I am of Tracie finding out my actual name. I doubt she'd enjoy anything I posted on you tube.
