Weekly News Round-Up!
Hello again! I hope you’ve all been having a lovely crafty time since we last met. Don’t forget to let us know what you’ve been up to, and send along anything and everything zine-related. No matter how small, we’ll be happy to reply and promote! UK news only, of course.
We’ve listed all the lovely upcoming zine events here too, so you can put the dates in your diary if you haven’t done so already. I’ll be attending most of them, so if you see me, come say hello! I’ll have purple hair and biker boots. :)
