~~~ Tip of the Week ~~~
MORE THAN WORDS
by Michael Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com/
Finally. Athena went away for the weekend. It’s not that I was
getting tired of her — I just needed a few hours alone to create
a special gift for her.
I’m sure most of you have seen the magnetic poetry kits at gift
shops. They contain a hundred or so individual words with magnetic
backing that can be arranged to create refrigerator poetry. I
think they’re a great idea, but I wanted to make a set that was
more personalized.
First I went to the office supply store and purchased a pack of 25
magnetic backs for business cards. They cost about 5 bucks. I measured
the magnetic pieces and created the appropriate margins in my word
processing program.
Then I began typing. I put in over two hundred poetry words like
“stars, flicker, moonlight, touch, and gentle.” Then I added
personalized words such as “Athena, Michael, travel, best, friend,
sweetheart, cutest, girl” and other nick-names and words that would
have special meaning to the two of us. Of course I included liberal
amounts of “a, an, the, I, and, but” and suffixes and prefixes like
“s, ed, pre, sub, extra, ly, ing” and so on.
I printed out all the words and then placed them on top of 20 of
the magnets. Then, I used clear shelving paper and placed it on top
of the paper for a protective layer. I used a razor utility knife
and scissors to cut the words apart.
Then I rummaged up a little box and put all the pieces inside. I
created a label on the computer that said “More Than Words” and put
it on the box. It was ready to greet Athena when she came back from
her trip.
By now, some of you are saying “that sure does sound like a lot
of work to me. I don’t have any spare time to do anything like
that.” The whole project probably took me about 2 or 3 hours. It
is true that you probably don’t have the time in one sitting to
create this. However, if you took 10 to 15 minutes of your lunch
break every day, you could have it done in a couple of weeks.
If it still seems overwhelming for you, you can always buy the
romance edition of the Magnetic Poetry at gift stores. It won’t be
personal, but it still is a nice gift.
