Is this about Valentines Day or beverages? Or valentine's beverages, like Romati-cocoa? :-) I have coffee-lings for you? Water you doing tonight?! (i could do this all day!) :-D

Oops! It's about Valentine's Day. I changed it in the swap description. Although I do like your idea!

You need to give size of Valentine 'zine in swap requirements. I understand, from the link to 'zine tutorial that the 'zine is a standard 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper folded to make a 'zine with staple, sewn, etc. binding edge. Creation of Valentine's Day 'zine is "Sender's Choice?"

Awesome swap. Thank you so much for creating this series!

@whippet I think all zines are 8.5x11. I know some ppl use the term "mini" zine. But when I asked them the size of a mine zine they said 8.5x11. lol So, I've never heard of anything other than. What have you heard?

Yes, since I first saw lots of beautiful examples of "mini - zines" in the earlier issues (1990s) of Somerset (rubberstamping) magazine, "mini - zines" come in different sizes and shapes. If you do search on the internet you might find examples of these beautiful "mini - zines."
I wanted to make sure of the dimensions of the "zine" for this swap as a swap requirement, making sure a swap partner wouldn't rate a "3" because they expected another size for the "mini- zine," and rated down.
