Lucky Number 100

It's the end of 2010, and I'm going out with a bang.  Turns out, this is my 100th post!  In less then 2 years, I have managed to share the in's and out's, ups and downs of Reenie Rose in 100 different blurbs.  I consider this a major accomplishment since I am not an avid blogger in the blog world, nor am I someone that needs to write for writings sake.
Postings for 2011 will continue to be updates of current projects along with additional tidbits of info about all the lovely people I get to work with.  I'm hoping to add some spice to the mix as well with a couple of special, noteworthy findings here and there and (fingers crossed) some more press.

 Speaking of press, the new Chicago Social (CS) Brides just came out, and yours truly has another ad in the magazine (check out page 283).  Bigger news yet is the article that was written up in the "Wed Dossier" section on page 100!  Huge thanks to CS for featuring me in this issue and writing something so perfect about my business that I'm sure brides will start flocking my way.

This will likely be my last post of 2010, so I want to wish everyone a happy new year!  2011 is bound to bring wonderful things....just you wait and see!  Cheers!

Eventful and Events

Two fun bits of news to share in both of my camps, Reenie Rose and Reeniebeans. 
The first bit is the most exciting for me cause it's a big leap for Reenie Rose.  I've taken out an ad!  In this June's issue of Chicago Social Brides magazine, I have a half page ad featured.  Chicago Social Brides is a local magazine that focuses on the luxury end of the wedding business.  With a very targeted audience, I am hoping to bring Reenie Rose to the attention of readers with an eye for something special.  CS Brides is a free publication and can be found at most wedding related businesses.  If you can't find it somewhere nearby, check it out online at their digital edition (hint: I'm on pg 253 & 264).  Below is the ad, but to actually be able to view it in something that someone else has produced is really something.  Go check it out!


The other good news is that I will be participating in the Lemont Art Walk taking place next Friday (June 25th). My Smokey Row mural will be featured at none other than The Inn at Smokey Row.  I am so excited for the inn to finally receive some public recognition....and if it has to be done at my expense, well, I guess I will deal with that.  If you are in the area or wish to check out good old Historic Downtown Lemont, come by the inn and visit me.  I will also have the Hello Darling painting on display in its finished state (to be completed this week).  This is a great opportunity to see a Reenie Rose painting in person.  I hope I will get a chance to see you there! 

 Enjoy the weekend and the real start of summer!
