About Me

          I am a stay-at-home mom in an empty nest.  I am also a wife, a witch, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, and a friend.  I am a professional Tarot card reader (see the Testimonials tab for references) with over 25 years experience.  I quilt too, but not very well (I’m still learning that one).  I teach counted cross stitch and needlepoint, creating special order samplers on a commission basis (see tab marked Services for pricing).  Oh yeah, and I have many tattoos.  Many.  (Look at the new tab marked BackStory for some photos and high points.)

             As of 2012, I’m also a bike commuter.  We parked my Wee Walnut and I have been pedaling everywhere ever since.

  1. I’d love to talk to you about Tarot cards. They fascinate me. I’ve got my own set as a start. They’re completely…untraditional. And I try to keep my knives away from them. :)

    • I will e-mail you. I love discussing cards, and the non-traditional ones are just as valuable as the old fashioned.
      Good idea to keep the knives and cards apart. Unless you are doing a stage show.

  2. Superfantastic!

    • Yay! Great to hear from you. Did you see how I almost forgot you? Had to make it a belated birthday message. *sigh*
      I try to be really together, but it’s hysterically hopeless at times.

  3. Julie, you will find this hilarious. I am on Dave’s computer. This is because I just turned my computer OFF, so that I wouldn’t go on it anymore and both of us I could relax for the evening. (The computer’s name is Glinda, by the way, because she is a Good Witch who can do anything and she is my friend.) I have been on Glinda since 7 this morning because I am trying to run my own business, which means working all the goddamned time. But then I got your wonderful Christmas letter, and I HAD to somehow tell you how clever it was, but WITHOUT breaking my resolve to fire Glinda back up. I had never been on your website and hadn’t subscribed to your blog yet, but now I have done the first and will rush to do the second just as soon as I allow myself to turn Glinda back on tomorrow morning. Your website is AMAZING. You are brilliant, Julie. I am in awe of you as a writer, communicator, and now, clearly, internet jockey. Talk to you soon!

    Love,
    Heather

    • Lol! Yay for Dave’s sharing and for Glinda, I adore that you named your computer that.
      So glad you found me. Full credit for this year’s edition of the Hanavan-Olsen Family End-of-the-Year Round-up goes to Hanna. She did a wonderful job, although we all did contribute our own wee bit.
      Thanks so much for the kind words. Funny, I was JUST telling someone (who is a subscriber here) about you and audio books. ;)
      Looking forward to seeing what you have to say about my ecclectic content.

  4. Posted a post about you and your Devour sticker on our blog: http://devoureugene.blogspot.com/2011/03/bumper-sticker-again-sorta.html

    Great to see you again and thank you for all the support on here!

  5. How many tattoos?

    • IF you had read this blog (as you were instructed) you’d have seen the post that details them all. (Here’s a hint, it starts somewhere around August last year, that should be easy enough for you to remember.)

  6. Hi, Lovey! I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger award: http://caridwen.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/im-an-award-winning-blogger-and-no-one-is-more-surprised-than-i-am/ Thanks for putting out such a great read!
