So looks like she decided to transition her personal account to a private one and limiting it to her close friends and family. She has been losing followers since the start of the pandemic's lockdown measures in the US whereas her stats are usually quite stable. -3 in March, -13 in April and -30 in May. The total loss of 30 in a month is a record for her account for at least a year. Methinks her bruised ego couldn't take it. Per Social Blade, she lost 8 in one go on Sunday. Clearly, some of her followers were done with her IG live "the pandemic is overrated" rants. In all, that's 1% loss in a month. Not catastrophic but it must've stung. Tracie's ego has always been super fragile and going private is her MO when she doesn't like how people are reacting to her online. Needless to say, she's probably back to stalking this thread as well.

She had to go private so she could rant about how ALL LIVES matter, rather than BLACK LIVES matter.

Thank you for everyone who answered my question. She sounds horrible. I don't like people who use their health problems to create drama, and than find out is nothing. As a grown person be thankful that you had x amount of years of good health, look around and see all the children who didn't have that.

I’ve been wondering what Tracie and Tiffany’s conversations have been like these past few weeks. Tiffany posted a “Black Lives Matter, Women’s Rights are Human Rights, No Human is Illegal, Science is Real, Love is Love, Kindness is Everything” meme a few days ago. I know that Tracie has not outright said that she is against all or some of these things, but we all know from things that she has said that she is against some of them. She imagine that this must be frustrating for Tiff. I wonder if they just don’t talk politics.

Tiffany seems very open, progressive, and accepting. She has to be to put up with Tracie. Tracie is very closed and not capable of empathy. She's too into believing she's religious (but only those that share her beliefs), a germaphobe (but talks about not cleaning), scrapbooker (but never shares scrapbooking), and a singer (she's a legend in her own mind). Let me be clear, I have lots of shortcomings. I KNOW this...Tracie is so egocentric, it's the rest of the world that needs to get with her "values".

And her daughter is a teenage published author and YouTuber. I've stopped rolling my eyes at Tracie. Narcissists will be narcissists.

Tracie's ego has always been super fragile and going private is her MO when she doesn't like how people are reacting to her online. Needless to say, she's probably back to stalking this thread as well. There was a dust-up in the group last night that resulted in quite a few members leaving and some being ejected. Tracie decided to post in support of racial equality and it ended up becoming a thing. A few members suggested that their preference would be to remain with the groups stated focus of crafting and not veer off into social issue. Tracie’s response was “don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you.” Only Tracie could have an attempt at positive reinforcement go so sideways. The last four episodes of the podcast have been fluff pieces, focused on mindless chatter between the two of them not really related to scrapbooking at all. I still think Tiffany could do so much better without Tracie. They have made no bones about the fact that they are polar opposites politically—Tiffany being the Compassionate considerate world travelers and the educator, Tracie being the close-minded, alleged perfectionist with mental health issues who flat out refuses to entertain thoughts not her own. She refuses to fly, she obsessively cleans her house, and still doesn’t actually scrapbook. She also threatened to shut down the community and make a subscribers-only group. Her hatred for Facebook is just so inconceivable. She even said that the podcast is their only income right now but she “doesn’t have time or inclinations to babysit ten thousand people”. Clearly, she’s done but needs the income. No gratitude that she still has this platform, that she’s able to so easily produce an income while her husband is out of work, no acknowledgment that without the loyalty of subscribers, she would be in a very different position.

Thanks for the hot tea, @stamptastic. Gotta laugh at Tracie's fangirls throwing the "only Scrap Gals-related stuff in our group, please!" book back at her. That must've hurt.

I may be wrong but I thought I saw a post from Tracie earlier yesterday saying they didn’t want any discussion on the riots and associated subjects in their group. It was posted before Tiffany made her post which struck me as weird that members couldn’t discuss it but it was fine for one of the scrap gals to post about it. Did anyone else see that or am I imagining things?

I think Tiffany would do well on her own. She could do a travel podcast or improve her youtube channel. I do wonder how she tolerates Tracie.

There’s nothing she can post that would surprise me. What does surprise me is that despite the number of things she’s said/written that would ordinarily torpedo a business hasn’t happened with this podcast.

I honestly wonder how much they are 'making' with this podcast. Sure, there is a bunch of people in their FB group, but how many are actually paying monthly.

Did they delete the dust up posts? I am in the group but no longer subscribe. I posted that Podbean is frustrating to se and she erased it.
Would someone please start a “I got kicked off the scrapgals” Facebook group?

I’ve been meaning to write a summary of what happened over here but it’s a lot and I keep having to stop. I’ll try and get it up here later today.

Oh the drama. She stated they are down to one income (hers) and thankfully she didn't lose any subscribers though some people left the FB group. Hmmmm... I do believe she just got back from a FL vacay with her daughter and sister in tow. Not sure how many people with financial issues would do that.
Please Tracie make your FB Group for subscribers only. So far we've gotten you to stop commenting here and to make your public IG page private. We appreciate that.
As far as Tiffany, no love lose their either. I don't have much to say about a person that allows a "friend" to consistently insult them. You can't feel bad for someone who asks for it.

I feel like things have shifted this week w/Karens like Tracie finally being told to stuff it w/the "both sides", "few bad apples" etc. thinking. It's got to be hard for the Karens and Tracies of the country to finally FINALLY see the scales falling from the eyes of the culture. Tracie's normal "I don't see color" bs is likely not working anymore. Society seems to be shifting to where we've needed to be for 150 years. Maybe she'll come around someday. Maybe she'll just recede further into her corner licking her wounds and murmuring "bad apples".

She doesn’t care what society says. She knows she’s always right:

She makes a huge deal about following the rules of her group including “no profanity” but she refer to members as assholes and previously bitches in other posts. Hmmm. Hypocrisy much?

I'm gonna give her props for at least trying. Virtue signaling is better in my mind than racist signaling. Here's hoping she continues to grow as a decent human being and ally to justice for all.

Tracie sometimes forgets her preferred persona and slips into her actual self. We all have different ways we interact with different groups. I tone down the fucks when it's required (even if it is my favorite word). But Tracie's slips are comical considering her admonitions to the group members about their behavior. And some of that shit slops onto Tiffany the longer she sits back and pretends to not see it. Do I dare say it makes her complicit?

I'd say she's complicit since she's staying silent (from what I can tell) while her business partner says all of these awful things. If she isn't making it known that she's speaking against it, then it's definitely complicit and allowing Tracie to continue calling her fans assholes!
