You are not going to believe this! I'm in the February 2010 issue of Romantic Homes Magazine!!! I can't stop smiling! I'm one of "The Romantics"!! It's a feature they do every February where they "spotlight creative individuals who inspire others". I remember seeing this feature last February and thinking how exciting it must to be to be one of the selected "Romantics" but I never in a million years thought they would contact me. I didn't even know they knew me! I can't tell you how hard it has been to keep this a secret!Another exciting aspect to all of this is that my daughter, Lauren, got photo credit for the photo she took of me! I told her she should to take it to school and show her photography teacher. How many teenagers get photo credit in a major magazine? I'm so excited for her!
So here's a behind-the-scenes funny story. I was so excited when they contacted me and I thought about what I was going to write about for days. Next thing I know I'm down to the last day before the deadline and in a bit of a panic! I had so many ideas swirling through my head but I hadn't written anything down yet! I knew I wanted to mention my parents because I think so much of the person I am (at least the good parts) is because of them. I finally sat down the evening before it was due and wrote this really long, heart-felt article and then when I went to email it off to them the morning of the deadline I reread the email they sent me and I realized that they had given me a 150 word limit and I wrote over 500 words!!! PANIC!!! I had to do some really quick editing, major editing, but I was able to get it down to a little over 150 words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would also like to say hello and welcome to anyone who found me through the Romantic Homes magazine feature! I try to update my blog 5 days a week so stop by often and feel free to leave a comment if you like!
I would also like to thank Linda from Linda's Blue Gate who sent me her magazine because I haven't received mine yet and it isn't out yet in the stores around here.... I must have gone to 15 stores looking for it!
Also, thank you to all my readers who stop by here! I really appreciate it! I feel like I have friends all over the world now! It's so amazing!

Congratulations, Cindy! This is such exciting news, and so well-deserved. You have exquisite taste beginning with spying treasures to arranging them in your home.

how wonderful I will go look for you.
Congratulations!!! you soooooo deserve this, it is always so fun to stop by your blog and see all the gorgeous photos you post!!!
well Congratulations, that's wonderful. I can't get hold of the magazine over here in the UK, but I will do some searching online to see if I can get it. I'd also love somerset life, but the only time I found a site that would send it here, it would have ended up costing about £40, which I simply couldn't justify.
I can tell that it's a fabulous magazine, so I can totally understand your joy about being featured.
Your home always looks so gorgeous, I'm not surprised magazines want to talk about you and it!
Sadie :o)

You deserve to be in that magazine. Your house is absolutely lovely. Everybody can tell how much effort and love you put into it.
congratulations Cindy! I read and save every magazine of Romantic Homes. I have a small bridal shop and last spring they did and article on a small shop in the Chicago area. I was so envious.

OMG Cindy, how exciting!! That must have been a tough one to keep a secret, you did good (; Ya know I had a really hard time finding the Romantic Homes mag last month and I was wondering if they were limiting the amount of copies they're printing or if it was just my bad luck, hmmmm, well I am so happy for you, enjoy it and you sooooo deserve it!!

COngrats Cindy! I saw it in my Romantic Homes Mag and wondered why you hadn't mentioned it, since it was such an honor. I loved the article as well!
well done cindy, i am a fan of romantic homes magazine and also of your blog. i think its so wonderful for you and for lauren, you deserve it for all the love you put into your home and blog. your new friend from australia tina.
SO very proud of you, Miss Cindy Sue... :) Who would have known, all those years ago, that my beautiful, kind friend would end up in a magazine. I'm so excited for you! :) Congrats, my friend. Now we have lots to celebrate on Tuesday!!! Bring the magazine!!!!!!!
That's fabulous news Cindy!! I can't believe that you say you can't believe it. Heck, you could teach them a few things. I bet you'll end up as a regular in the mag from here on out, and who knows, maybe they'll have you write a few articles for them.
Great news for Lauren too. Congrats to you both.
This couldn't happen to a more deserving person. You are always so humble and appreciative. Your talent is amazing as well. How nice that Romantic Homes is showcasing something romantic . . . not eclectic, modern or out of reach. I always feel like I'm looking at a magazine when I read your site. Thank you and congratulations! xxoMarta
Wow congratulations Cindy, I will be sure to get one of those issues! You deserve it, so talented. I need to just subscribe to that magazine, as often as I buy it.

I am so thrilled for you. What a wonderful honor this is. I am also so thrilled for your daughter. It is so GREAT that they gave her credit for the pics that she took. I know it was enough to get her going on her photography. Such encouragement. I have not read this Romantic magazine, and I am going to check it out today while I am out.
I love your home and the vignettes that you share. I can see why you were chosen to be in this magazine Cindy. Congrats again.

HI Cindy!
I just wanted to let you know that I found you from the feature in the Mercury news. I remember that Sunday opening the paper and just being sooo excited to find someone like you. I had been telling my husband that I wanted to paint some of my furniture white earlier that week. Then you were in the paper, I went to your blog and the rest is history :-). We followed your how to and our pieces turned out so nice. I had never followed a blog before that day. I want to thank you so much for being so consistent in posting and I have enjoyed so much "hearing" from you each week. I rejoice in the Feb feature for you in the magazine. You deserve it! I am constantly inspired as a renter to know that you rent too and you don't let that stop you from creating a lovely home. Hope you have a wonderful New Year!
Karina
Oh Cindy, I'm so thrilled for you! You are my idea of the perfect "romantic" -- truly an inspiration!

Oh Cindy!!! Congratulations! I picked up my copy of Romantic Homes a couple of days ago and hadn't looked at it yet. When I saw this post of yours, I had to find your article. It is great!!! And I love that Lauren got credit for taking your photo! I am so very happy for you!!!
Congratulations!! What an ultimate honor. And you so well deserve it. You have been a true inspiration to everyone. What a super Christmas gift. I can't wait to get a hold of a copy. Rosie
Opulently I agree but I think the brief should prepare more info then it has.
Congrats! I am sure it will be beautiful - how exciting!
Oh congratulations girl! I am so proud of you! I found your blog over a year ago then met the more bloggers through you! Thank you so much for all your inspiration you deserve to be in the spotlight! I will be looking for that mag. tomorrow! Congrats to your daughter too! I noticed your new photo a while back and thought you had them taken professionally! I was wondering if you were going to host a year in review mosaic like you did last year?
Take care there!
Love and Light

Congratulations!
Congratulations to you! That is so exciting. You have such a lovely style!
This is so very, very exciting. I'll be buying the issue, which is big news for me...because I've had to put a hiatus on my magazine buying this past year (finances, go figure). Congratulations Cindy (and Lauren!).

(p.s. not really sure why "money" shows up as my user name...it's probably one of the last words on earth I'd use.)
I have your youtube video in my favorites and I watch it often. You are so talented and I will for sure be purchasing the magazine. Congratulations!
You're my inspiration for decorating our tiny little one bedroom apartment:)
Here in West Tennessee I was able to find the magazine on the stands yesterday.. Love it!!! Congrats Cindy!
CONGRATS CINDY AND LAUREN,
MAYBE THIS WILL SEAL THE DEAL FOR NEW FLOORS FROM YOUR LANDLORD, SINCE YOU HAVE BECOME FAMOUS!!!
I KNOW IF I WAS A LANDLORD I WOULD SURE WANT SOMEONE LIKE YOU LIVING THERE
BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE 2010...YOU NEVER KNOW HOW FAR DOWN THE ROAD YOUR DREAM HOUSE IS....
YOU ARE SO DESERVING OF THIS AND MORE. THE FEBRUARY COPY IS NOT OUT HERE BUT I WILL CHECK DAILY.
CONGRATS AGAIN TO YOU AND LAUREN. YOU ARE SO SPECIAL AND SO LOVED BY SOOOOOOOO VERY MANY. WE ARE ALL PROUD OF YOU.
