yep, I read Croqzine regularly.
I also read Croq zine and have been tempted to try Worn (houseofworn.etsy.com) and What Did You Buy Today? (kateconsumption.etsy.com)
I've never read it but it sounds interesting!
yep, i've been reading zines for several years now. i tend to gravitate towards perzines; brainscan is one of my favorites.
No, I'm not a regular reader but this sounds like one I'd like to check out.
No, I've not read any zines regularly, but I'd love to start!
I buy about 2 or three a year. The last one I bought was this one:

I will be giving Mixtape a try for sure:)
i read the design for mankind ezine regularly and have an interest in learning about more.
Hi,
I don't read any ezines regularly but love the idea so please count me in. I live in the UK so hope that doesn't disqualify me.

Never have, but would like these!
Oh I'm a total craft zine addict! I read:
Fight Boredom
Guerilla Craftfare
Croq
D is for DIY (kids craft zine)
Mixtape
and my own one, Hoop-la
all of the above can be found on etsy.
And I just bought the book of the 10 year anthology of Doris and it's simply amazing.

I'm not really a zine reader per se, but I do enjoy mixtape, the occasional Notebook, Craft and Inside Out. I'm missing a couple of mixtape editions though so would love these!
Nope, but I'm about to be. Mixtape and Croq, here I come!
I haven't read many zines for years but I used to find out about them from Sassy magazine...
No. I'm an infrequent reader of zines (I don't think I've read more than two issues of any zine). But I do enjoy them when I have a chance to read them.
I've never read a zine before, but I'm willing to try some if I get randomly picked!
I have only just started reading zines - funnily enough reading Mixtape. i have seen a few others around which i really like the look of. but for anything from overseas the international postage costs can sometimes dampen my enthusiasm.
i would love to create my own, but i think i might start out with what others are doing before i launch off into zine-world.
i do read some craft magazines, but most are already very expensive to buy from here in the philippines. so i usually just buy the back issues, usually a year older and much cheaper too. i love japanese craft magazines too, thick with freebies inside. :)
I'm not a regular zine reader yet, but it sounds like I have a lot of interesting things to explore...
i don't read zines too much anymore, though i used to be an avid reader of cometbus. i know that shari (of theglassdoorknob.blogspot.com) is working on a rock zine (not music) that i'm excited for.
I've been meaning to read mixtape for awhile and never go around to ordering. This has renewed my interest!
Yes I read zines very often. I like Opera bufa and Embrulho de Banana. Those you dont know because they are brazilian ones.

I am new to Heart Handmade and new to mixed tape! Looks like I found two new winners! I know I am going to spend hours reading through your old posts. I love the interviews you have done. :)
No I have only just discovered the term zine through reading about the creation of mixtape. Would love to win the set to be able to read them.
I always mean to read more zines! I do pick up a local free zine, Businesswoman Diaries, whenever I can find it. It's hilarious!
Just found you and Mixtape zine while looking for cool places to visit while in Melbourne. I've read zines at the Wellington Public Library but having found you think I could have a new addiction developing...can't wait!
I've read zines before but mixtape was my first crafting one. I love that they give anyone an accessible outlet to voice their opinions.
I read zines sporadically. When I run across one that looks interesting, I'll get it. Mixtape looks interesting. :)
No but I would like to be :) This would be a great addition to my craft magazine.
i have the current mix tape and love it so much i want the rest!!!
All new for me and sorta anxious to see what I might have been missing.,, Please put my name in the hat. Thanks, Debbie
Not yet I haven't read any, but I have been researching them heaps lately and am very inspired to do my own. And I would love to read mixtape.
Peta
I read zines! And I make them too (you can find mine here in the zine section of my etsy shop
The most recent zines i've read are by Katie from the La-La Theory, I LOVE her zines.
I just ordered the first issue of mixtape zine, so at least I will be able to console myself with that if I don't win this giveaway...
Mix Tape Zine is my first Zine, and I have all 4 already, but I would love to win a set for my sister who is also a craft lady and would really enjoy them.
Ive been desperate to get my hands on the mixtape zine for a while now. What an awesome comp! Thanks
there were a few food zine I read a long time ago. but I can't even remember their name. I have been lusting after mixtape zine for a while now.
i would love to read more zines. I read occasionally when i cannot resist the 'buy now' button, but sadly finances normally hold me back.
I am not a regular zine reader... but I look at them quite a bit and ponder purchasing. Especially mixtape and croq... I wish I could just take a peek!
Unfortunately I haven't had much time to read zines, but I have come across some US craft zines before, and bought them despite their pricyness. =P They're awesome, inspiring and great eye-candy.
I read mixtapezine! I have issues 2 and 3, I adore them! I'd love to win/aquire all four, and I could give away some of them and spread the love... And hope they become as enarmoured and ready to jump up and make my own soap and youghurt and all those yummy eco-cool things that I've become! I (heart) mixtapezine.
I've never read a zine, but I'd love to:)
I subscribe to scrapbook zines like creating keepsakes and buy other craft zines off the rack when I saw interesting topics. I hope to get a chance to read the mixtapezine as these seems to have very interesting mix of topics! Thanks for the chance!
Not regularly, but I really want to read the mixtapezines.
I love zines and the idea behind them. I don't read any at the moment :(
I have never read a zine! I am a librarian and a blog addict... so this just seems wrong. Hopefully the winds are about to change.
I haven't read a zine since I lived w/ my parents. That was back when I could spend my money on things that weren't gas, food, etc :p

I haven't in such a long time. i guess it's the whole lack of disposable income during my student days.
i'd love to read these!
I would be happy to read , I use to read a bit but here in Poland i just don't know where to get them :)Maybe I should start my own ;)?
Hello! The mixtape zine is the first I've heard of and I'm very excited to read it! I am a BIG magazine reader though, and have many subscriptions. I love them for all the different blurbs of information.
Thanks for offering up this contest!
I'm not yet, but now I will be! I'm pretty addicted to the many craft blogs on my RSS feed reader though, if that counts.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our first ever reader giveaway. I'll be busy this weekend checking out all of your blogs and your zine suggestions! Thanks again, this was fun and I'll definitely have to do more of these!!!
