PikaPackage July Update #6
Friday July 4, 2008
Phew! There’s supposed to be another three entries for July’s round of the PikaPackage Project, but they’re in the midst of updating their shops (or making a big move!), so I’ll end this edition with Rosie Miles’ sassy Pissy Fishwives — an exclusive to the PikaPackage Project. The total participant list is now 38, which makes it another fantastic round — thank you so much for everyone’s support!
Read up about Rosie over here!
The giveaway will happen next week, so sign up for our mailing list (if you haven’t already)!
The sale of these fantastic PikaPackages will launch at the same time too. :)
p/s — Happy Independence Day for folks in the US — I’ll take a couple of days off while I finish up the zine (there’s a few technical issues), so rest assured that there won’t be any surprises or new announcements until Sunday.
