Had to look up a thread for her today after her stories. Can’t work because there’s a spider in her office. You really can’t make it up!!
I’m so glad I came across this thread tbh, I’ve followed for a little while now and bought a couple of things but I can’t be doing with the constant beg. And every time I see the Schitts Creek prints I’m just like they’re so bad. Good to get it off my chest haha.

I’ve just discovered her thread!!!

she’s currently struggling to pay her bills. It has been YEARS of this, why a hasn’t she got a part time job where regular money will be coming in. At this point she’s just being selfish.

she’s clearly jumped on the Swift bandwagon because when has she ever been a fan?

remember when she quit the fandom products that didn’t last long.

Grinds my gears

 

[Bestkeptsecret]

She had an “anything you’d like to ask Gary” question box on her stories! The temptation to ask if he wishes she’d get a real job was high

 

[mineminemine]

Can someone please tell her to get a fucking job. And stop guilt tripping her followers

 

[Dogleggedhat]

Does anyone follow her? Used to quite enjoy her content as it’s nice and colourful and her son is adorable but she just seems to me to permanently be on the scrounge now! Just seen a tweet where she is going to ‘surprise 2-3 people with a gift’ and has then posted her own amazon wishlist in case anyone was interested. I also remember a bit of drama surrounding her wedding where she was on the scrounge and couldn’t pay bills but bought herself a pair of trainers with birthday money because it was ‘treat money’. How does that logic work?! Crap having to spend birthday money to cover the bills but surely priorities beat treats? I appreciate being self employed and selling your stuff online can be challenging but if it’s really not giving you the money you need would it not be better to take on a part time job to supplement earnings?
I dunno,I just find her quite grabby which is a shame as I like some of her stuff but would never buy it because of this.

The "I need money to feed my family" is really getting to me now. It's a complete guilt trip. Plus has anyone else noticed how often she says "I'm not going to be here very much" but then...is? Still posting "ooh look what I have for sale, meme, I'm drinking a cider, here's a pic of the back of my child's head (pointless since she's started sending out pics of all three of them in orders) meme, complaint about working so hard and never having any time, please order my things or you're literally taking food from my child's mouth, meme, order update..." Etc etc. If you're working so hard why not just NOT post every five minutes?

Yeah because the rest of us don’t need to worry about feeding and caring for our kids when did she stop showing her kids face?
She is such a bore-if things were so tough they wouldn’t have had a massive dominos-not saying that people on low incomes can’t have treats as of course they can,but to beg and plead for other people to spend money in her shop to ‘feed her family’ and then spend it foolishly is annoying-maybe that’s judgemental of me but I just find her so annoying and grabby.

 

[Starrysky]

There are so so many working from home jobs available now, living where she lives can’t be used as an excuse. Of it’s really the case, get a bike you do everything you can to earn. I used to walk 1 and a half hours to work when my car broke and I couldn’t afford to have it fixed.

Just to add, this is a woman that’s been paying £130(ish) a month for weight loss injections. This is a woman that’s says she only has 60p in her bank and in the next slide shows the book she’s just bought. Make it make sense.

If she really wanted a job she would get a job. She’s really pissing me off now and just needs to sort her life out and come join us all in the real world, lazy slob.

 

[Starrysky]

I think she needs to acknowledge the followers that paid for this trip after constant begging for money

‘Oh I can’t afford my bills, please donate to me or buy more of my stuff.’

Dammit that didn’t work, best up the anti…

‘Oh I can’t afford the vet bills for my cat, please donate or buy more of my stuff.’

 

[MamaRu]

I thought she wasn’t selling fandom things anymore? She’s got lots of Harry Potter etc stuff on her shop right now. Clearly realised that no one care about her original shit, they just want cheap unofficial merch

 

[beanspiller]

Omg she really needs to make up her mind about her story. Does she have no sales and needs to beg regularly for people to buy things? Does she have soooo many sales that she could fund their household while the fella went back to education? She’s absolutely full of shit

went back into education on a full student loan and bursary probably ?? living in a house probably subsided by mum ??? Hard life isn’t it

 

[AquaTorfana]

She hasn’t got a cash flow problem, she’s got a spending problem. Yeah, life’s hard when you can afford £120+ for weight loss injections a month plus full price books and other luxuries but can’t feed your family, you vile twat.

 

[beanspiller]

the irony of moaning all year that business is terrible and then being completely unprepared for the one time of year you are busy ?

 

[clueless]

ISTG, she is a complete joke. If you put together all of her begging posts back to back, how many must there be? Hundreds? This has been going on for literally years now. Does she not even realise how pathetic it looks? The sheer volume of her posts that are just begging. Who are these fools actually indulging her and lining her pockets? How obtuse would you have to be to fall for her shit? It honestly beggars belief!

She thinks she's so ~cute~ and ~quirky~, but she's nothing but a cheap, chavvy sponger. Just another burden on the welfare state.

 

[PinkBogeyBreath]

I think she’s absolutely full of shit and I can’t believe how many people commented saying they’d bought something. She purposely makes it look as though her family rely on the income from her shop and that they are struggling. She’s gross.

 

[teamonster]

Why has she got a ten day time frame when she was saying she wasnt getting barely any orders any way ?! If it takes you that long there's another issue here ??

I shop from plenty of small business and not a single one of them behave like she does.

 

[thepantsqueen]

Is she making out she’s been in hospital for two weeks?

her choice of words are interesting. She's certainly tried to make it seem like she was in a coma ("unconscious for two weeks) for two weeks and from the previous stories she wanted it to sound like she got pregnant and had a miscarriage (I was told I was pregnant. I was then told I was not pregnant - followed by a screenshot from friends crying about losing an imaginary baby)

she worded those things that way without actually saying it but for people to read it that way and therefore try and drum up some sympathy sales

fucking gross

 

[Bestkeptsecret]

Just find it so gross! Especially when she posts all the stuff she’s been buying or whatever. Blows my mind that people keep shopping with her.

 

[Penny Sweets]

I see Jemma is back on the sharing every sale bandwagon. Only x amount of sales needed today to reach my goal. Buy buy buy my tat!

How do people fall for this?

 

[Dogleggedhat]

She’s the queen of guilt trip sales. Also, lockdown means lockdown...

God she is such a prick-get a fucking job to pay for your renovation work ffs-if your stuff was good enough people would buy it without you having to beg and guilt trip people. Pretty sure people’s priorities are other things aside from funding your garage reno love.

I have only just come across this thread, I am glad I did. Something about her just didn’t sit right with me and I just couldn’t put my finger on it. I only found her (through Instagram suggestions) about 2 months ago.

Straight away I was noticing the ‘your purchases feed my family.’ I was like woah! You can’t guilt trip people into buying your stuff. The most recent thing that did it for me was the ‘thank you to the one person that made an order today!’ A bit passive aggressive if you ask me, you can’t have a go at people because they haven’t bought what you sell.

So here’s a thing... I used to draw cartoons, characters etc and made stickers. Purely as a hobby as I work full time. I sold them as it seemed a waste to just have them sat there, I really did love making them. But working meant I didn’t have the time to keep up with orders. I could never justify the hundreds of pounds on a cricut machine so I hand cut my stickers, I never had third parties make them either, it held a risk of having more than I could sell.

My point is, the ‘sticker paper’ is expensive in comparison to normal paper but it’s actually not that expensive. I honestly cannot believe her mark up! The vinyl I bought worked out at 48p per sheet. My most expensive sticker was 50p. Why? Because I could fit so many of them on one sheet. And I’m talking stickers the same size as the ones she sells for £2.50. My mind is blown! The sticker sheets she sells for around the same price have about 10-15 small stickers on. My multipacks of 15-20 were £2. And I hand cut them. I don’t get the mark ups. Even with ink costs and electricity, she is still very expensive for very simple designs.

Don’t even get me started on the price of her pins. I know how much they cost to make

I’ll get down from my soap box now. I’m just glad I found somewhere to get that off my chest. With reading how she has previously begged for money too I felt quite comfortable doing so.

I am intrigued though, how come she has two Instagram accounts? One is dorkfaceart with 100 odd followers and her main one, dorkfacecreates?

Sorry, I’ve just noticed how long my essay is. Can you tell she bothered me a bit

Thanks for the info on the costings,it just makes her irritate me even more lol. I see she also has a dork face draws account-they both refer to her main account as dorkfaceblogs so I assume these are old accounts-not sure what the need was for all the extra accounts though?

 

[mineminemine]

But Jemma, you ask for help financially… weekly?

Omg her lack of self awareness is infuriating
