If they want money to defray costs, they should be using the money that fans gave Tracie for the pacemaker surgery. The surgery she ended up getting for free. This is going to sound really harsh, but I'm just going to say it- anyone who donates to Tracie this time around is a fool. she got it for free? the more I hear about her the shadier she sounds.

I don't blame you! Her voice isn't the most pleasant of sounds...but I mean, I refuse to do videos or anything because I can't listen to my own voice on playback...lol!! As I said on IG the other day when someone was upset they were getting ads for things for people much much older. My husband takes the AARP ads he gets and mail the 'no postage required' envelopes back empty. He's called to tell them that he's only in his 30's (he's a namesake, so they must think he's his dad) and they continue to send them. It makes me laugh...the passive aggressiveness in the gesture. Your hubby and mine would probably get along well. My husband does that to the Republican National Committee mail that he gets for some unknown reason. Lol. Oh, no, tell them not to send them back empty! You have to tear up all the junk mail that they sent you, including the original envelope, removing your name for privacy, and then stuff it all back into the postage paid envelope to mail back to them... some people even add heavy stuff in the hopes that it will cost them more, but I'm not that petty. lol.

So I got messaged on FB today from a lady who saw all the Tracie stuff go down the other day, I really don't think TC realizes how upset people are (that aren't even peas..). People are seeing her true colors.

People are seeing her true colors. she doesn't give a wickety-wack In all seriousness, I think she is not going to care who is, or is not upset. She believes she is doing the right thing, and so she is going to keep on "doing her" I think its sad,really. Just the whole thing. I think its sad there, and sad here. I want everyone to get along lol... I know that not everyone here is an Ali fan these days, but one of the things I really like about her is if someone asks her a question, or comments about something...she will answer matter of factly..she just says "we are not going to do xyz at this time" or if a mistake is made she says "we tried this, it did not work and we are going to keep working to get it right" When people tell her they are quitting her story sub for one reason or another she thanks them for their comment, agrees that this is not for everyone and wishes them well.

Ali is much more emotionally intelligent. MUCH more.

Yes, I agree. Ali has a lot of class. Something that Tracie seriously lacks.

On the subject have I contacted companies. Yes, I have over the years. The majority of time I have gotten great responses. I am still doing business with a lot of those companies. Have I contacted any of Tracie's affiliated companies? No. There is only one on the list I have done business with and that is Studio Calico. I have a sneaky feeling they probably already know how Peas feel about them. I am not going to contact the others since I have not done any business with them because that would make me feel quite stupid. "Hi, I never bought anything from your company but I never will." If I saw an e-mail like that "I would be like WTF. Ok, great don't." I stopped doing business with Studio Calico because of Tori Bissell's "Why she left SC" video to find out over here Tori is shady and in bed with Tracie. I do BELIEVE all the girls here and what they have endured with Studio Calico but what Tori said about Studio Calico completely makes me discount her. Now, I think she was joining everyone hates SC so if I want to stay relevant I will hate them too. Those type of people are dangerous to already fragile industry. Yes, I do think the companies should know. I would want to know. Maybe some will be horrified and finish out their contract with Tracie and tell her goodbye. Then others could be like we support her. Least, you know the ones that do or don't. None of this is about destroying or attacking women. It definitely should not be. We go that route then we are no better than Tracie. It is about spending our money with companies that we feel good about. What Tracie did to mom is unforgivable. She kicks her off the group so she can turn around and attack her without recrimination. Now, Tracie is doing the boo-hoo thing because she was a mean bully girl. mom was beyond classy and fair to her. I was telling my DH tonight that all of this drama in the scrapbook world and then the drama going on in the gaming world was really depressing me. Seriously, it is depressing. I already suffer depression. My husband said it is very simple the scrapbook industry is my hobby. I already have my money values for how I spend. That is true. Then he told me the gaming industry is my life. Every single crazy job I ever had was to get to the point where I could be comfortable in a gaming career. I worked hard for that. I went through a lot of sexual harassment and bullying over it too. I am done with this Tracie's and Iliana's of the world. There will be another one tomorrow. I have said it a million times. I love you girls for this Thank you so much for calling these ladies out. I don't have a lot of money and I am careful in how I spend. I am so grateful when I know these things and save myself from heartache purchases. I have had enough heartache in life. I don't need some stuck-up mean girl scrapbook stranger to add to it. You keep up the good work. I am going to work to protect you and your children from abusive jerks in the gaming entertainment industry.

I am going to work to protect you and your children from abusive jerks in the gaming entertainment industry. Amen. As a former gamer girl, I appreciate your work on that. I have two young girls and it hurts my heart to think about them ever gaming and dealing with the shit I did when I played.

@amayalylac and dawnnikol : I'm not a gamer but I live in a house of gamers and my son has a game going every weekend with about half girls/half guys. I think possibly a new generation of gamers welcomes girls in contrast with my husband's long time game group that has always been just men unless a wife or girl friend sat in. Anyone who makes efforts to break down walls is going to leave an impact that as others come along they find the wall a little bit more crumbled. So I know at least 5 girls who play at my house that thank you!

she got it for free? the more I hear about her the shadier she sounds. It's shady af. She needed money for the surgery. The pacemaker was donated. Then the hospital decided to clear her medical bill for the surgery. Straight from an unrealistic feel-good movie... So I got messaged on FB today from a lady who saw all the Tracie stuff go down the other day, I really don't think TC realizes how upset people are (that aren't even peas..). People are seeing her true colors. And we know now Tracie's running around on FB sending people messages to tell them they got the medical expenses thing wrong, desperately trying to save face and paint us as those who didn't understand/wilfully are misrepresenting her story. She won't back down as she genuinely believes she's on the good side so, instead, she'll point her finger at us and rewrite her critics as the bad people. Manipulative, self-absorbed, superior, conceited, judgmental, uses people rather than relates to them? Yeah, sounds like we got another narcissist on our hands... Ali is much more emotionally intelligent. MUCH more. Which explains, partly, why Ali is actually making a proper living from scrapbooking and Tracie's not. She's just a hustler who got away with it until now but she's got nothing of depth to offer the SB world. I love you girls for this Thank you so much for calling these ladies out. I don't have a lot of money and I am careful in how I spend. I am so grateful when I know these things and save myself from heartache purchases. I have had enough heartache in life. I don't need some stuck-up mean girl scrapbook stranger to add to it. You keep up the good work. I am going to work to protect you and your children from abusive jerks in the gaming entertainment industry. And thank you for doing all you do in the gaming industry. There aren't a lot of options, are there? We either put our blinders on and pretend we don't see bad stuff happening or we denounce it. I refuse to spend my life avoiding to speak up because that's the easier way. I'm glad to be part of a world in which people are taking a stance and protesting, whether in the streets or on the Internet. There'll always be people ready to abuse the system in place, trust and relationships they've established so it's up to the rest to do the dirty work and stay alert.

Oh wow...if I owned Elle's Studio, I would be pissed that she said that. Even if it's true. Elle is really professional and nice and I don't think people should boycott her store i also think she told someone that it was a one time thing, I'm not sure though I disagree with the idea behind your statement. I. Relieve people should boycott any company they choose for whatever reason. It's free enterprise. I can boycott based on religious affiliation, political party, why wouldn't I boycott based on whom a company decides to sponsor? I don't boycott Elle because I only really buy when I win a gift certificate or they come out with a stamp I can't live without. But I sypport your right to choose. There are a few who I've disassociated with because of TC.

Another deleted post from a few days ago. Business entity and taxes. Say you are lucky enough to get donations and sponsorships. Yay! Remember this is all taxable income unless you are a non-profit organization. If you are big enough to hire contributors and you can pay them with your earned revenue – you will need to provide them with tax documents at the end of the year since any amount over $600 paid to them is taxable. If you are the collaborative type, which we love, remember that someone or some thing has to be the taxable entity. If you are thinking of starting your own non-profit organization, think hard on this. There is a lot of overhead and the entity will own the content. You then become a volunteer or staff member that answers to a board of directors. transom.org/2014/the-business-of-podcasts/

You are just responsible for declaring it yourself as opposed to $600+, where the payer has to provide documentation of it.
