Cheryl received over 200 entries into the contest! This morning, she emailed me her top ten choices out of the group and I chose my top five favorites from there. SO HARD TO DO THIS.
There were no names attached to most of the entries I saw, (except watermarks), so if you see your image here, please comment on this post and get in touch with either Cheryl or me!
FIRST PLACE: Just be complete.
SECOND PLACE: Just be grateful.
THIRD PLACE: Just be amazed.
FOURTH PLACE: Just be tranquil.
FIFTH PLACE: Just be free.
