We'll definitely need to pray about that one. <br /><br />Oh man, I thought for sure that Ann was a good guess for your middle name! I wasn't even close, lol. That's neat that 5 people did get it right in the contest, though. It's very unique; Assumpta is not a name that I've heard before (though I have heard of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven).<br /><br />Oh well, I tried, lol. You want to guess my middle name now? ;-) (I haven't already told you, have I?)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111576612128164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050200209993507360.post-69780531586164398022010-10-28T23:24:09.812-04:002010-10-28T23:24:09.812-04:00EDNA ... this is definitely the way to win a book ...EDNA ... this is definitely the way to win a book -- just ask Michelle above, she won two or three!!

You haven't read Gone With the Wind and we're STILL friends???? Well, I forgive you because you brought the cobbler, but you need to remedy that, girl, SOON!!<br /><br />Your Julie is turning 14 in November??? Mmmm ... old enough to read my books! We need to get her into them, although I think you told me she's not into our type of books, is that right? We'll have to pray about that one ... <br /><br />Yes, I am hitting the big 60 (groan!) in early November on ... if you are Catholic, you will know this ... All Souls Day! And my middle name begins with an A and NO ONE would ever guess it. In fact, in my very first newsletter that I ever sent out, I ran a contest to see if anybody could guess my middle name. A sweet reader friend by the name of Assuntina correctly guessed that my middle name is … Assumpta (yes, I was named after the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, an actual feast day in the Catholic Church!). Shockingly, Assuntina was one of FIVE people who guessed correctly, so I drew a name and Assuntina won ... which seemed only fitting because of her own name. I actually liked my middle name growing up because it was so different ... uh, that is until I got into high school and they shortened it ... :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JulieJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050200209993507360.post-11179893153211713072010-10-28T23:11:06.926-04:002010-10-28T23:11:06.926-04:00JANNA!!!

I know how busy you are with a blog AND a new baby, not to mention six kids ... or no, wait ... it's seven now, I forgot!! And 18 out of 20 ain't bad on the GWTW test, girlfriend, so I'm proud of you!<br /><br />Of course, you KNOW that a highlight of ACFW for me is seeing you too, God's truth!! Why do you think I always volunteer in the bookstore??? Yep, 'cause of you ... and sweet Jolene, of course! :)<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words on A Hope Undaunted AND a great review, which I believe you posted on Amazon.com and CBD.com, if I'm not mistaken. You need to e-mail me, girl, with the number of reviews you have posted for all my books on either CBD.com or Amazon.com because I am currently running a contest for reviews posted where you can win a $50 gift card and a signed copies of all my books (for Christmas presents, maybe???). So let me know, okay?<br /><br />Hugs and more hugs ...<br />JulieJulie Lessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406395645316139292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050200209993507360.post-71506553567788273562010-10-28T14:26:37.301-04:002010-10-28T14:26:37.301-04:00I would love to win one of Julie's book, I wou...I would love to win one of Julie's book, I would do a review on it.<br /><br />Thanks<br />mamat2730(at)charter(dot)netEdnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132658803192802735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050200209993507360.post-54390262945671043442010-10-28T12:19:27.514-04:002010-10-28T12:19:27.514-04:00Hi Ashley and Julie! And all of you wonderful lad...Hi Ashley and Julie! And all of you wonderful ladies here! :D<br /><br />I thought you might be running out of food at the party, so I brought a peach cobbler. A little birdie told me that it's someone's favorite! ;-)<br /><br />I scored 15 out of 20 on the quiz. I guess that's not too bad for having only seen the movie twice. And would you believe I've had GWTW on my book shelf for about 4 years, and I haven't read it yet?? I know!! Shame on me!! :::hiding in embarrassment:::<br /><br />Needless to say, I really enjoyed the interview, and reading all of the comments. You're such a hoot, Julie! :D<br /><br />Happy Early Birthday, too! Is it in the beginning, middle, or end of the month? My oldest daughter, Julie, will be turning 14 on November 27th. Her middle name is Susanne. You've told us your maiden name, but I don't think you've ever told us your middle name. Is it a secret, or can I take a guess? I think Ann goes nicely with Julie, so that's my guess. :-)<br /><br />I'll end my rambling now, and thank you ladies for another chance to win one of Julie's fantastic books! <br /><br />Hugs & Blessings,<br />Michelle<br />scraphappy71 at sbcglobal dot netMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111576612128164411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050200209993507360.post-22127301573319395502010-10-28T12:16:19.930-04:002010-10-28T12:16:19.930-04:00Ok, I took the quiz and got 18 out of 20, pretty s...Ok, I took the quiz and got 18 out of 20, pretty sure I missed the ones where it said "in the book..."

And can you believe it's only ELEVEN more days till you and I get to meet??? WHOO-HOO, can't wait!!<br /><br />SARAH!!! Thanks for coming by, sweetie, and I'm glad that Scripture blessed you. And good for you, writing Scriptures down on index cards.

Not bad since I haven't read the book since high school or watched the entire movie since college :)<br />Julie ~ as always, such a fun interview to read and see your answers. I LOVE the verse (phil4:4-7) you shared and reminded me of. In fact I wrote it down on a index card and stuck it next to my computer for a good reminder:) it's always such a pleasure to not only read these fun interviews on you, but it also introduces me to new blogs that are a blast to discover and add to my blogs to keep an eye on<br />Ashley~ what a great interview & awesome blog giveaway! I also had a lot of fun reading through some of your other fun blog attributes :) You'll definitely be added to my blog list. <br />Thanks again ladies! & I would love to be added into the contest, if I'm not too late :) God bless!!<br />Sarah<br /><br />fireflies_n_stardust@yahoo.comSarah'sWhimsicalNotionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242427270060924655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050200209993507360.post-41892618979903272972010-10-26T22:18:04.463-04:002010-10-26T22:18:04.463-04:00great blog!

I'm so glad you were able to come and enjoy the interview. Doesn't Julie take such a simple question and turn it into a conviction message we can all relate to? <br /><br />Charlotte~ First off, LOVE your name and isn't that awesome that Julie doesn't capitalize the name saten? From now I'll not be doing that, cause saten doesn't even deserve a name let alone for it to be proper. <br /><br />Kayla~ Soooo glad you found my blog. Julie is my FAVORITE author (sorry Ms.Rivers) and I was so nervous about interviewing her, so I'm happy you liked it and that I didn't botch the english language so much so that that you couldn't read it.LOL<br /><br />Julie~I love the Tara theme song, in fact, if I ever find some poor soul who is crazy enough to want to marry me I'd walk down the aisle to it, it I could.;) A PJ party sounds great, and with all our blogger friends coming too is even better. And I can tell a scary story or two, myself. Though, they all seem to involve civil war heros and they're wives. I wonder why that is? <br /><br />Cynthia~It's hard for me to lay my burdens at God's feet and leave them there. But I tend to pick them up again and trust myself to shoulder the weight, so I understand what you mean. And I just added your name to the hat, so good luck!!<br /><br />Love Y'all,<br />AshleyAshley (Ibreath2read)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07954357949807284386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050200209993507360.post-48439694583006224682010-10-26T12:18:24.794-04:002010-10-26T12:18:24.794-04:00JENNIFER ... never read Gone With the Wind OR watc...JENNIFER ... never read Gone With the Wind OR watched the movie????

Actually the picture everybody sees was taken four years ago when I was 56, so there ARE a few more wrinkles and gray hairs underneath my Loreal honey brown than when it was taken, but the good news is that I am pretty immature, so I don't act my age ... :) Thanks for coming by -- good luck in the contest!<br /><br />JODIE ... apparently so are you, my friend -- THANK YOU for coming by to "encourage" and enter the contest -- here's to a win!!<br /><br />BREANNA!!!

I only got 9, but I would have had 10, I changed my mind on one answer and changed it to a wrong answer. I expected you to get them all right.
