And I bought every copy they had! When I went up to pay for the magazines, I was so excited that I blurted out to the cashier that I was in this magazine and that's why I was buying 4 copies...she wasn't impressed...at all! Oh well, I'm very excited and I couldn't contain myself! I've always dreamed about being in a magazine but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would come true! Thank you Fifi for featuring my blog in your beautiful magazine and thank you to Tara Frey for writing the article.
The article is about decorating on a budget and how I share that on my blog. It's on page 28. The magazine is just full of beautiful things. Once again Fifi has done an amazing job! It's so nice to see others I know in this issue too!
If you found my blog through the magazine article: Welcome and please feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear from you!

Awesome, Cindy! I'll have to look for it next time I'm in town...I can't believe the clerk was NOT impressed. What's up with that??? I mean, really. If I worked at a bookstore and someone bought a magazine and said, "I'm in this issue," I would be, "Really? What page? That's awesome!"
Congratulations Cindy! You deserve to be in that magazine. No one decorates with style, on a budget like you do. Your blog is the first one I hit, every day. I can't wait to pick up my copy!
Debbie
I will try and not get a speeding ticket going to Books a Million, can't wait to see it. You must be so excited. To have your home in a magazine is truly a dream come true!!
Hugs,
LeAnn :)

Congratulations Cindy! I'll have to go get a copy of the magazine. I think all of us secretly wish we had a house or yard that was nice enough to be featured in a magazine. Bravo to you.
That is wonderful! I am so happy for you. I love your blog and your ideas. I am going out to buy it today!
How exciting!! Must be lovely to find your home in that magazine. And I can assure you I would have been impressed if you've told me LOL.

Congratulations Cindy I have followed your blog for sometime and I am so excited for you.. what an achievement to be published! I am happy for you. One one does not show her home but wonderful Nature imges on her blog.. sunkissed from AZ NG
I would like to extend to you my utmost congratulations on having your work published in this fine magazine. Honestly, Cindy, I have gone through your blog and you have great, and I mean great talent. Thank you for sharing everything you have made with me, and everyone else. Kudos!
Congratulations! Cindy@cutepinkstuff.com
I wish you were my next door neighbor. I know you would share your wonderful sense of style and creativity!! You do a great job and it is obvious that you LOVE decorating. Lucky devil - you have so much talent.
Hi Cindy. The article about you in Romantic Country inspired me to try blogging. Your photos are so beautiful, both in content and quality. Do you have any tips on how to take a good quality digital photograph? I'm a real novice with a camera and do not yet know how to use Photoshop.
Hi Cindy, I found your blog through the story about you in Romantic Country and you should have a whole spread about your home! I too am a single mother and have to decorate on a very VERY tight budget. When i got divorced and we moved in to our apt we had nothing. It's been 3 yrs and i still have so much to do. I read everything on your blog and when I seen your bedroom makeover i wanted to cry. IT WAS SO GORGOUS! But I know i'll get there too. Ill keep checking in on you
I just this evening bought the magazine and read the lovely article. It's really, really nice. I enjoyed reading it and wanted to congratulate you on being featured. How exciting!
~I am SO excited for you, I thought I missed my chance to get to see you in the magazine. I thought if Cindy reads this magazine it must be so inspiring.....then I was looking through it, I was like I recognize that picture and It was the magazine!!! I was so excited I wanted to tell someone. My son who is 2 didn't quite get it or care. :D I think they should have done more of a spread on you though ;D Just my thought. I love it and great job as always Cindy!!
Good for you Cindy!!!
I have been reading your blog for quite awhile now and have really enjoyed your enthusiasm, creativity and sharing. I am presently working on a blog, not yet published, and look forward to reading more of yours.
