Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Joanne and I’ve been blogging for many years under the name The Simple Wife (you can see all of my old posts under the archives or by clicking on any of the categories that interest you). I love receiving comments from you and try to respond to each one personally. I hope you’ll visit often!
I hopped over from Marla Taviano's site. I'm living in Paris serving as a missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship. I've enjoyed reading your blog so far. Love the little zippy bags!
Thank you, Joanne! What sweet little purses! And I hope that your Christmas presentation went well. Did you record it? I missed our church's ladies Advent brunch this year, and it would be a treat to hear what you said. God's blessing! :-)
Hello from a former Denverite. I commented on your fall leaves awhile ago. If I don't win, can you please overnight us a ziplcok bag full of snow? Just kidding!!

P.S. I meant to tell you, we've done the ding dong dash before, too. It's well worth the effort to bless another in secret, don't you think?
