Last weeks contest was on ROMANTIC HALLOWEEN.  I received only a
handful of entries.  The winner is Christy Hodder of Canada, who has
won the contest several times.  Her story is *Pumpkin Caroling* and
you can read her idea and others at
http://theromantic.com/stories/halloween/main.htm

This week’s contest is another SEARCH AND FIND.  I always get a lot of
positive feedback when I run these, since everyone can enter.  I’ve
tried to make this one slightly more difficult.

Search my site and answer the following questions:

1.  Which is the LAST movie on my list of romantic movie suggestions
2.  The Romantic Recipe of Baked Brie is baked in what type of bread?
3.  Which Romantic Getaway have I gone to TWICE?
4.  How long is the free e-mail course that comes with the purchase
of 1000 Questions for Couples?
5.  Which bonus ebooks come with the purchase of 300 Creative Dates?

Send your answers and I’ll draw one correct entry to win a trip to
prize vault which is filled with board games, CDs, books, professional
dance lessons and more.  (I RECENTLY ADDED A NUMBER OF NEW ITEMS TO
IT). 

To enter this week’s contest, send your entry via
e-mailto:tipofweek@aol.com

Submissions must be received by Monday to be eligible for the prize.

What Color is Your Relationship?
by Michael Webb
http://theromantic.com/

I like to celebrate my wedding anniversary every month.  Several years
ago, in celebration of our 75th (monthly) anniversary, I decided to
create a gift that would help us reflect back on our first 6 and 1/4
years of marriage.

I came up with the idea of creating a coloring book for Athena.  I
took a sheet of paper and tried to write down the most significant,
memorable and happy experiences we had since we were married.  I even
took out our scrap books to make sure I wasn’t missing any major
events.  Once I had about 30 ideas I began sketching them on plain
white paper.  I admit I am not much of an artist but even stick
figures can get an idea across.

Once I completed doodling all the scenes with pencil, I traced over
them with a black felt-tip pen and wrote what the occasion was just in
case my drawing was so bad that she wouldn’t be able to decipher the
event.

Once all the sketches were complete I drew a cover and then took them
to a copy store and had all the pages duplicated onto heavy paper and
then bound.  I even made an extra in case she wanted one without
coloring in it.

I gave it to her with a pack of crayons and we still color in it
together from time to time.
