Here are quotes from some of the emails I have received about my artwork and sites. The originators have kindly given me permissions to post them here. Thank you all so much!

(There are more, but I sometimes forget about this page or am too embarrassed to ask for permission to post the quotes. :-))

"I have been looking for this awesome website for long! I happened to browse through this website and printed my year 2008 calendar, and this year I was searching high and low for you! I must say that I am already addicted to all your beautiful graphics, even colleagues sitting around me have been asking me where did I get all these beautiful calendar. Thank you for being so helpful and because of you and your webbie, I always look forward to change the next month calendar, month after month!.

"Just wanted to say for great you site is, I have just made my first purchase, I paid via Paypal & within seconds my order were waiting for me to download. I am pleased that there is not a minimum purchase, as it means I can order a few at a time as I can afford them, I think that will mean I will order more in the long run. Anyway the main thing is your fabulous drawings, they are really great!! I think my next order will be the kittens, not many people get cat faces perfect but yours are just that.

"I just have to tell all crafters what a wonderful site Graphic Garden and her sister site Art 4 Crafts is. I am an avid crafter as I spend a lot of time caring for my quite ill daughter. I just fell upon these sites quite by mistake but have to tell everyone who visits that once they do they will never leave. The graphics are simply the best I have ever seen. The prompt response and help from the sites owner is unsurpassed and the friendly way the site is managed is unbelievable. I will keep buying from this site from now on I belong to some crafter's clubs but when my membership runs out I will not renew and just keep with these two perfect sites. All the little critters and fun graphics make all my craft project look so beautiful and I will sing the praises of the site at hospital visits and throughout the college where I'm a governor, so others can benefit from the best site on the net.

"Thanks from a very pleased customer all the way from Sydney Australia! I love, love, love your graphics! I think they are the best I've ever seen. I am very pleased with my purchase.
I found the downloading very easy. I have popped your site in my fav's and will definately return to browse your store in the near future. Thanks again."

Emma, Australia

"I knew about 'Graphic Garden' and found 'Art for Crafts' tonight. I've downloaded everything free I could find and will be looking at buying my very first set from you. I absolutely love the calendars and use your shopping lists all the time as a little pick me up during the boring necessity. The main reason I’m writing for is to thank you for the section 'Projects for You'. I am a homeschooling mum and these crafts will be a welcome addition to our art times. You truly are a gifted artist. Thank you for sharing it with the world."

"I recently purchased your cd and the latest School 10 graphics and I couldn't be happier. The sheer number of graphics on the cd was a bit overwhelming, but that just shows how much you really do get for your money."

Suzan Yi, www.msyi.net

"Helena, I have browsed your site before in the past and always enjoyed looking at all of your graphics. I recently started my website for my Cat Sanctuary Non-Profit and bought the Cats webset graphics. It was well worth the money spent! Thank you for providing such appealing graphics and making them affordable!"

Shelly Transki

"I finally unzipped all 10 sets and looked at them. Well did not look once, but looked at least a thousand times! They are all so wonderful! I can hardly make a choice which one I am going to use first. Just after the 1st birthday of my little girl I am going to update and redecorate her site. I have decided I will use a combination of 'Toddlers 1' and 'Kids 6 Childcare'. Both sets are so sweet! It will be fun redoing her site.
Please keep on drawing as I am totally in love with all your graphics, I do think I started to follow you from the beginning when your site had .nu instead of .com as url."

Francisca den Otter

"I just received your cd yesterday. I bought the one that has everything on it. I absolutely LOVE it! Thank you soooo much. It has clip art on it I didn't notice on your website. It will be more than useful for my website and other crafts I can use it for. Again, I can not thank you enough."

Keira, Northern Ireland

"I have been enjoying looking through all the graphics I ordered and I cannot believe how much BANG I got for my buck. I am thrilled.
Thank you. I will be ordering early next week. The only complaint I have is that they are all so CUTE... I just don't know WHICH ones I want. My goal is to have ALL your sets in the next few months. :D"

Mrs. Pat Haston, USA

"Dear Helena,
I just wanted to let you know that the CD arrived -- thank you for being so prompt!! I am speechless -- every graphic is so beautiful! The CD offers more than I could even imagine! My sister was equally amazed and excited!! I found that you have more than enough of the babies,toddles and kids that are of Chinese decent -- adorable!! My families are going to love the sets. I am still trying to get some samples put together to offer to the families. So far I have set up samples for Year of The Monkey, Year Of The Sheep and Pandas and Ladybugs. I have already had a great response to just those sets."

Tina Thompson, USA

"THANK YOU! THANK YOU for making such adorable graphics. THANK YOU for making them and then pricing them so that they are affordable for a teacher who wants to make her papers look a little happier. THANK YOU for all of the free updates and information.THANK YOU for the adorable printables that I use at my writing center for my children everyday. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I recently spent four days on and off working at my computer at school to print all of the graphics we have from your CD and downloading the free ones from your web site. I then spent more time placing each paper into a clear sheet and putting them into a binder so that I can keep them all. Then I used dividers so that now I can easily find the graphics I want in my newly created Graphics Garden index. To top it off I just visited your site and I love the Toddlers and Reading graphics I'll have to get them too! I am not sure if I have told you this but THANK YOU!"

Audrey Vohs

"I have been an admirer of your since you first began Graphic Garden. I have followed your site and have always loved your work. I have used your graphics for numerous gifts to my family and for myself and have always had such wonderful comments. I have just recently started a Daycare Business from my home. I use all of your printables for coloring sheets, gifts, etc, and the parents just adore them! I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for having the opportunity to use your work of art."

Julie Russel, Canada

"I went on the web site last night to see if you had any new graphics and I was SO happy to see a bunch I never had. I was so excited...Until today!!! I have even MORE! I absolutely LOVE your work.
I work as a preschool teacher and I am always using the graphics for all my memos to the parents. I just can't get enough of them. I even have them on my homemade checks."

Dawn Burnett

"Helena,
I can't tell you how amazing your work is. I'm sure you feel pride in what you do, and well you should! I am so very excited to have come across your site and I'm just amazed at some of the talent that God gives some of His children. :) I so wish I had talent like you and that I could do that for a living. As it is, I create things from other people's work as a starting point and I love it to pieces and wish I could do it for a living, but what you are doing is absolutely an inspiration!
I am definitely bookmarking your page and going to be investing in some of your graphics. I just wanted to encourage you, and I also wanted to thank you for doing this wonderful work and sharing it with us. I think you should put up a guestbook so that we can give you little encouragements and so that you'll know how popular and cherished your work is!
God bless you"

Rachel, USA

"I received the graphics cd and I have to tell you that I am overwhelmed by your talent! The small set of samples you show doesn't compare to the actual graphics! I bought the cd for my daughters website but I am thinking about making pages for all of my friends children also! I just feel the need to use all of your wonderful graphics!"

Gina de Forrest

"I received the Graphics CD in the mail, and I am thrilled to bits! Everything is wonderful, and I spent a long time just browsing through the sets, and collections. I have so many ideas now, not only for my website, but also for learning activities, and games to make from the bmp files for my daughter.
Thank you again for such wonderful detailed work!"

Julie Moser, USA

"Thanks SO much for the update on the school graphics. They are adorable!! This may sound crazy, but there are times when I put my cd of your graphics in & just look at them over & over! It amazes me how you do this.
I have gotten lots of complements from everyone who sees your graphics. I took some of my premade scrapbook pages in to show the ladies at my local scrapbook store & they loved them!! They are a real inspiration to me. When I get scrapbookers block, I can look at them & instantly come up with more themes for pages & ideas than I can get done. The money I paid for them will be the best investment I'll ever make for my scrapbooking!"

Leann Duncan

"My school's website, Zwolle Elementary, would not be what it is without your graphics. I use them on every page. I have purchased several sets and use the linkware too. I look everyday for updates...that's how much I love your work. My face brightens when I see that new update. I start planning where I am going to put them!! Thank you so much again and God Bless."

Vicki, Louisiana

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for creating the delightful graphics you do. You are so talented. I can't draw a stick figure myself! Usually, I put them in my personal photo album. When my Skippy died in June, I purchased the Dogs set to make special scrapbook pages for him. What a treat! I am addicted to country graphics. Always a pleasure to visit your site :)."
Grace F, USA

"What wonderful customer service! You are very talented and I hope to be able to purchase more of your work in the future! I will recommend you to all my friends."

"I have used your graphics on my classroom website (http://www.geocities.com/roliverkteacher) for a while now, but after seeing the monkey set, I just had to write to let you know how much your work is appreciated and adored! You creativity and talent never cease to amaze me! You are the most unique graphic artist on the web and no matter where I wander on the Internet, your graphics are everywhere!
I have purchased several collections from you in addition to using the linkware sets because I can't get enough of your graphics! You graphics are absolutely perfect for teacher webpages and I have received so many compliments about the overall look of my site only because your graphics are displayed there."

Ramona Oliver

"I just had to drop you a note to say thank you for your beautiful Craft Clipart sets. I recently bought your 'Under the Sea' and 'Summer Bears' sets and am absolutely delighted with them! :o) The sets are outstanding and a joy to use.....the graphics are just the right size for use in scrapbooking, cardmaking etc., and the png format is perfect. They print out beautifully as well."

Barbara, UK

"Helena, these are just beautiful! I had already purchased school graphics from two other sites. However, yours are by far the best!! I had to have them. When I get my web page completed this summer, I will send you a message so you can see it. The bears will be perfect for my kindergarten! I found yours by viewing another teacher's web site.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful creative talents with those of us who can't do such wondrous things!"

Thank you for the good work that you do and for your kindness in allowing us to use your things.."

Jan Merkley, USA

"I just had to contact you to let you know that I LOVE your graphic garden site. You do absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for making me smile. I wish I could do what you do because my daughters room would be filled with these designs. You should consider making a line of baby items such as cribbing, wall hangings, clothing, etc. etc. I'd be first in line so if you decided to do something like this please let me know. I'd love to get a wall hanging of a couple of pictures to hang on her walls. She's only 15 months and would love these little cuties. Again just wanted to say how wonderful your site is and thanks again. Keep up the great work."

Heather Gross

"Just a little note to express my gratitude for your wonderful graphics. They are very colorful and display alot of character. They put a smile on your face when you look at them! Thank you for making my day a little brighter."
