Comment: I received your zines in the post today- thank you! I just thought I would message you because these zines don't meet the swap requirements unfortunately so I will have to score you a 3- which I don't really like doing but this swap was for a Mini How To zine of no more than 12 pages with a maximum size of 3 x 5inches and it was supposed to be a How To zine. Unfortunately your zine doesn't really meet follow these requirements and it was quite specific in the instructions that it must only have 12 pages and be a minizine. I hate giving 3s but I'm afraid I'll have to this time. Thank you anyway though - will read these when I get a chance.

Comment: Thank You!!

 

Comment: Rachel, I got your packet today, and although it was about a week late, I am still rating you a 5 because it was WONDERFUL. I loved the mailer thingy you sent it in and I noticed that it can be cut and the inside used again for another great mailer of my own...or as collage elements too. :) The "Adventures in Indoor Gardening" zine was soooo good. It has inspired me (no, not to try indoor gardening, silly!) to make zines in a similar, freer style, like yours. I loved the info, but do my gardening outside due to our climate differences. BIG difference between OR and far south TX. Your zine is amazing in how much fun and info and very cool illustrations are stuffed inside of it. I LOVE it! Thanks also for the "DIY Madness" zine. I love the article, "How to Convince your Mother... Sherlock Holmes". ROFLOL! Thanks also for the artsy postcard with your note.

Comment: I enjoyed your list, hope your able to accomplish everything on your list! =]

Comment: You're gonna have an awesome life if you accomplish all of that. :--) I like how specific some of them are, and a few are more vague. You must have a put a lot of thought into this. And the presentation gives you a heart.
