About Me

My photo
Bobbi
Arizona
I love to read (hence the bookshelves), do counted cross-stitch and quilt (scroll down below blog archive for some pix or go to http://pinterest.com/boledo/quilts-by-bobbi/), volunteer whenever/wherever I can (because I am grateful for the many perks I've received in the Lottery of Life and want to give something back), do crossword puzzles and play word games (like Taboo and Apples-to-Apples), watch movies (for years I attended the Palm Spring Int'l Film Festival, viewing 40+ movies in 10 days!), am always up for a rousing card game of Hearts

Placemats/hot pads for here (somehow this never floats to the top of the list. Just like the shoemaker's children have no shoes)
