Just have to brag about one of our newest CM mentors, CMPro member and just an all around fantastic woman – our very own Shannon Joy Heimsoth! Shannon always has a kind word for anyone and her 365 Simple Joys project will make you stop to reevaluate what is truly important as life goes zipping by.
Shannon recently entered a photography contest in McHenry County, IL. Photographs were judged judged on 10 elements ( Impact, Creativity, Composition, Lighting, Style, Center of Interest,Subject Matter, Color Balance, Technique and Story Telling). Over 150 entries were received.
Shannon won not only FIRST PLACE in the Open category but SECOND PLACE as well!!
Here’s the winning images:

I'm still learning from you, but I'm trying to reach my goals. I certainly liked reading everything that is posted on your site.Keep the aarticles coming. I enjoyed it!
The next time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my choice to learn, but I actually thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
I have noticed that car insurance firms know the cars and trucks which are at risk of accidents and also other risks. Additionally they know what type of cars are susceptible to higher risk along with the higher risk they've the higher the actual premium fee. Understanding the easy basics connected with car insurance will let you choose the right kind of insurance policy which will take care of your family needs in case you happen to be involved in any accident. Appreciate your sharing a ideas for your blog.
