If you happen to miss the giveaway that I announced yesterday, please scroll down, read and enter!
It has been really fun to have many of
you de-lurk and introduce yourselves!
You guys are so brave!
Now the thing that most don’t know is that my ‘motivational’ gifting from the Lord is “gifts”…meaning I love, love, love to give gifts to those I love. So although it is impossible, there is a large part of my heart that wants to go on a Memorial Box hunt to beat all hunts and find 140 Memorial Boxes. Don’t worry Whitey, not gonna’ do that, but you know I would if I could!
I’ve had so much fun seeing all your
favorite colors my sweet friends!
Was kind of surprised how many love blue most!
Was equally surprised how many said they loved yellow!
I’ve mentioned it before, I think, but purple is my favorite, with a close second of white {I know, not one of you said they love white, but I love it!} or maybe pink.
Yup, I definitely love purple.
And to some of you….
Megan from Williamsburg, Virginia –
wish you could check out Ruby’s outfit today
{Isaiah picked it out – totally lime green and purple!}
I was going to do a shout-out to some of you who have such fun and adorable profile pictures, but I figured I might just get myself into trouble – so let’s just say I loved seeing all your profile pictures!!
MrsMann –
You are so right –
that is definitely my very favorite!
Bonnie S. –
Crazy fun that we’ve reconnected after all those years!
Dana –
Would love that teleport-thingy for a hug as well
{I could always use just one more hug. Can’t help myself.}
Love that so many of you checked in from Thailand, Sweden, France, England, Germany, Panama, Haiti, Korea, Ireland,
Australia and even Newfoundland!
My soul was so encouraged by all your tender, sweet comments. I really didn’t expect that. But you guys always bless me when I need it most. No doubt, the Lord. Thank you.
Lastly, if you have not left a comment on the giveaway post – it’s not too late – do it! Click here to do so. Go ahead. Don’t be shy. So far there are 140 comments and let’s just say to the rest of you chickens – I highly doubt anyone has had some creeper show up on their doorstep because they left a comment over here at our Place Called Simplicity. So just to be certain – If anyone has left a comment and subsequently had a creeper show up this morning,
please speak up now.
Yeah, I thought so.
hey Linny & gang! I just wanted to add Ireland to the list 🙂 I havent been great at commenting.
I never know what my favourite colour is as it changes often through seasons. coming in to spring as we are now soon, I love all the amazing shades of greens and yellows… and Linny I'm with you, I love white…but usually against another colour rather than on its on – thats why i love daisies 🙂 gren white and orange(oh like the Irish flag!)
anywho…wanted to add my bit and say i love all you guys and you always encourage hubby and I in our faith. We're praying as alwasy for you and your treasures.
Don't put me in the hat for the box as I am making my own at the moment anyway and made one for my parents home so it wouldnt be right to put me in for it when I will have my own and someone else would have loved it… just wanted to comment and say Hi! <3
I already have my own memorial Box, so I didn't want to comment on the other post and enter the contest. Gotta let someone win who needs one! But I will tell you that I still lurk around here, and I hail from right outside Lynden, Washington. And my favorite color is red. Or turquoise. Oh, maybe a really sunny yellow. I don't know, I like all things bright and cheery!
Beautiful photos and enchanting colors.
Best wishes,
Joseph
I haven't blogged in forever, but I'm thinking I might, its just that facebook seems quicker…. but I wanted you to know that I'm still here, reading everyday, praying and loving your "littles" stories. I owe you a huge box of scrapbooking supplies I feel awful that its been a year since it was promised. I am sitting almost holding my breath in excitement for your family and its new adventure in Phoenix. I know its going to be GREAT. WOW I'm not entering the memorial box, I have one and haven't used it yet. I know I know… but I am scrapbooking again and to me, its almost the same. A place to remember God's goodness and grace. God Bless you all and luvs
I am also not wanting to enter the giveaway but I'd love to give your the info. Here goes… I am a 28 year old woman, I live with my fiance and his 4 children in Cedar Rapids, IA. My favorite color is probably purple but I love deep dark red also. I currently am kind of going through some life challenges and trying to let God show how its done while at the same time praying oh so hard for 2 wants I have. I come here for inspiration that he will get me there even when I don't believe it. My picture is old and boring as I have never changed it after making my profile awhile ago.

Hi Linny! I wanted to comment here as well, just to introduce myself. I am a Stay at home mom of 4, ages 11, 3 1/2, and twins that are 3 months. We are currently living in the boonies of West Virginia but will be moving to the Atlanta area soon due my husband getting a new job. I've been following your story since just after your home burned and count it a privilege to rejoice with you, cry with you, laugh with you, but mostly..to pray with you.
Fave color? probably red 🙂
Have a great day!!
