It brings me a lot of joy when something I’ve created touches a person. Here are a few responses from friends and customers:

“Tracy, thank you so much…whoever said, ‘pigs can’t fly’ didn’t know Pigasus….Pigasus came flying into my heart and will remain there for a very long time! Such creativity and love was put into this little piggy. He will inspire the hearts and minds of my fourth grade class as he ‘flies’ overhead in my classroom.
” ~ Marsha Carr (Pigasus)
“Tracy created the first Black Cocker Spaniel ‘Gourd’ as a surprise Birthday gift for me in July 2011. I was stunned and it is the best Birthday gift ever. Check out Tracy’s site, I’m certain Elle Mae’s photo is there. Thank You Tracy (and our daughter Andrea) for making my Birthday so full of Happy.” ~ Carol Kanfield (Elle Mae Gourd)
“This lady does great work. The Peace Gourdess I bought from her makes me smile every time I look at it
“When I asked Tracy to create a maraca for me, I knew it would be beautiful… but I didn’t expect it to be breathtakingly beautiful. Knowing only some of my favorite colors and symbols, Tracy created a piece that touches my heart. The intricately-blended colors, the detailed and perfectly-positioned designs, the warm and earthy leather handle… so expertly and artistically designed and implemented. I feel Tracy’s gentle heart and her happy, whimsical, creative spirit in this piece. I am honored to have this exquisite maraca as one of my Space Clearing tools and I am thrilled that it was made by Tracy. My appreciation for creating this awesome work of art. It is truly a treasure!” – Karen Steiner, Interior Alignment Specialist, HARMONY WITHIN (Flamboyance Maraca)
“Tracy the royal gourd arrived today! It is absolutely magnificent! I cannot get over how beautiful it is. The detail and time you put into it, it’s just fantastic. What a form! It’s a perfect gift for someone who has everything…. It’s very unusual wonderful art…. I just am so happy with it and thank you so much for creating it. If The Queen could see it, she’d be awestruck! It really is a special thing I will long treasure!” – David Larson (The Royal Gourd)
When Tracy shared with me her flying angelic gourds I asked if she was able to make me Kitty Flying Angelic Gourds of my precious Brittany and Tinkerbelle. I seriously went speechless when they were completed and I took them out of their gift bags. Tracy puts her heart and soul into her work. I love love my kitty gourds. Thank you so much Tracy your truly AMAZING!!!” ~ Andrea Tosha (Kitty Angels)
“We were both completely surprised and overwhelmed by the unique gourd. It has pride of place in our lounge and has already been greatly admired by our friends. (We haven’t mentioned the significance of the boxing gloves!) Thank you for something special.” ~ Tina & David, Great Britain (The Anniversary Gourd)

Yaayy! I know I am a little hormonal (still) but these kind words bring a tear to me eye! What considerate folks that took the time to send you these messages.
It’s hard to describe the feeling when you get this kind of response to your artwork. I am so blessed to touch people like this. I’m also grateful they took a moment to tell me. I am feeling the warm fuzzies!
