BMAG:Wreck This Zine

I'm scared! Will you be sending Valium with the template?

I wasn't planning to ever try making a zine, but this sounds almost like a paint-by-numbers project. I guess I'll give it a go. - shiver -

I'll send you some "Rescue Remedy" all I have is the kind for pets though! ;-) Think how fun it will be to see what everyone else did with the template! You can do it!

Alright I was never going to do a zine, or try a zine, because I know I will probably get hooked on zines, and that is the last thing I need.

But . . . since this is a step-by-step "paint-by-number" zine and I have both Rescue Remedy and a big 'ol bottle of rum I guess I will give it a go. :)

Yay for brave souls! :-)

Rescue Remedy. Good idea! I actually have some sitting on the kitchen counter. I can wear my dog's thunder shirt while I'm working on this, too. :-)

You know it's a good swap when you get more than one person to try something they thought they would never do! Nice job, Ky!

I love 'zines!!! This one sounds like a fun one so count me in!

Well Ky, you now have one more brave soul that is going to try making a zine for the first time.

Yay! I'm so excited that we have so many brave souls! ;-)

Okay, partners are assigned and copies of the templates will be in the mail today! If you will, please leave a comment here to let me know when yours arrives so that I know everyone got one! Also, later if you want to swap copies of your zine with everyone in the group, you can leave a note here saying that also. I do want to swap with everyone please, I want to see what you all do! I hope you all enjoy the process! :-)

Watch for one of these in your mailbox soon!

I've been waiting for hours! The template hasn't come yet! LOL (I really am excited to get started!)

I'd love to send and receive one from everyone in the swap! Thanks for doing this, Ky!

Accck! @LahDeeDah ....just got word that the carrier pigeon was shot down, being served in some fancy restaurant as squab! I will resend asap!

Oh nooooooooo!

(Hey! Maybe we should do a "down with squab" swap!)

I, too, would love to send to and receive from all y'all! Lol

love the envelope! I have mine will be working on it today!..what a fun swap...

lahdeedah isn't on my send to list..but if you send your address i'll send to you as well... that goes for anyone else here..i'll make extras when I copy the zine...

So glad you got it @hibiscus I knew you would get yours the quickest since you are so clever to be a Texan too! ;-)

This is a very cool envelope Ky. I plan to start it soon because I think this is going to be fun.

I love the envelope. I've already started. Anyone who wants a.copu, just pm me with your address.

Yay! So far 3 out of 8 have gotten the template:
* @hibiscus * @123Poggy123 * @grammag

I hope the others arrive soon!

Also, I forgot to mention in the instructions that you don't have to use the paper that the template is printed on...it isn't that sturdy. I use either cardstock or water color paper to work on then cut it out and tape it down on the right place on the template and when all the pages are done, copy it! :-)

1. I got the template (the envelope is waaay cool!)
2. I definitely want to swap with everyone in the swap. I will PM my address to my non-partners. Please everyone who is not my partner feel free to email me your address.
3. I am very excited!!

I got a bee-you-tea-full envie in the mail today. My dog wrecked it. She likes to deliver mail, but she doesn't always like to relinquish it to its rightful owner. So, we're off to a perfect start! This will be fun. :-)

I received my zine to wreck :-)

So glad to hear that everyone is getting their template! SO far the list of those who would like to trade one with everyone is:

Me, @grammag @dobie256 so if you are not partners with them, send them your email address to swap with them also.

Have fun! I can't wait to see them all!

But wait! You've overlooked my post below your picture of bee-you-tea-full envies!

Yikes! Amended! :-) @lahdeedah @grammag @dobie256 and I all want to swap with everyone! Anyone else?

FYI - It's 2:00 in the morning and I can't sleep because I'm thinking about this zine. I'm already looking for a 12-step Gelli program. Will I need one for zines too??? (If so, I hope they'll meet at my house. I'm too busy crafting to go anywhere else.)

LOL! When I first started making Zines I loved them so much I made quite a few. I love the feeling when you finish and fold and cut it and then open it as a little book for the first time...silly I know but it is very satisfying to me!

I had so many ideas when I was creating the template that I am hoping there will be enough folks who like the process well enough (and maybe some new brave folks) so we can have a "Wreck This Zine Vol 2" !

Yay, I got it! I can't wait to get started! I would be happy to send to anyone that would like a copy of mine. Just send me your address :)
