~~~ From the Editor ~~~

For the 19th year, Athena and I did NOT celebrate Valentine’s
Day. I’m not anti-valentines but we *try* to be loving and romantic
and do special things together all the time so for us the day isn’t
more special than any others.

~~~ Tip of the Week ~~~

A HANDsome BOUQUET
by Michael Webb

http://www.TheRomantic.com/

I decided that Athena needed a bouquet of flowers for her desk. No
ordinary flora would do.

Being the offbeat person that I am, I made her a construction paper
bouquet. To make the gift even more personal, I made the flowers
from a tracing of my hand. Confused?

I took out six sheets of different colored construction paper. With
a pencil, I traced two images of my hands on each piece of paper. I
then cut out the twelve *hands*.

After laying each construction paper hand flat on the table, I
taped a flexible straw to the palm for a stem. Then I brought the
right side and the left side of the hand together and taped it so
it would make a shape similar to a tulip. I did the same for the
other eleven flowers.

Because the flowers were on flexible straws, it was easy to arrange
the flowers in a vase and make them look like a natural bouquet. The
whole procedure took about 35 minutes (you could do it during your
favorite television program). If you have more time, you can cut
out some green leaves and tape them to the stems.

This bunch of flowers will never wilt — except maybe your one and
only’s heart.
