Several years ago Fletch and Kathy, a couple here in the Raleigh area
invited me to check out and critique their business.  They write
personalized romance novels.  I was really impressed with their
operation.  They write these fantastic books and with their
computerized setup they can personalize it with you and your lovers
name along with other features so that you two are the stars.  You can
even have the tone be *mild* or *wild*.  Read it aloud at night with
your sweetheart or give as a gift.

Order by Wednesday Dec 17 for discounted shipping.

Puzzle or Dessert?
by Michael Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com

There are two things that I really like.  Puzzles and desserts.  So I
came up with a great way to combine the two to create a wonderful
gift.

You need to come up with a dessert that is fairly hard when finished,
yet wont crack when cut.  Many cookies (shortbread, gingerbread, sugar
cookies) come out of the oven soft enough to cut but harden after they
are cooled.  Rice Krispie treats also work because it wont crack when
you cut it.

Decorate the dessert (perhaps even make it heart shaped) and then cut
it into puzzle pieces.  You can write a loving note on the dessert
with a tube of icing either before or after you cut it up.

Box up the puzzle unassembled as a special gift for the one you love.
