    The fabshophop happens 10 times a year- each time there is a new hop the number of shops vary- somewhere between 130 & i think the most i've seen in the past 10 years was 181--but it varies month to month.
    there are different (levels) of prize chances depending on how many you find-
    and although i have not gone back and read the rules in awhile (i've been doing them for 10 years) it used to be every day that you found at least one-you were in prize drawings for that day- and saturday's were double drawing days-
    at the beginning of each hop i check to see how many bunnies/shops are participating in that one---say 156--then i divide that number by how many days in the month---30---so i know in order to find them all i need to find at least...5 or 6 a day---then if i miss a day i know how many i need to (catch up)
    over the years i have won gift certificates- fabric collections- fat quarter collections- patterns-
    but the best thing about the hop is being able to browse all those different shops- anything you could be looking for - you will be able to find- there is such a vast amount of resources available at your fingertips. and extra bonus- if you sign up for the newsletters from your favorite shops you are also bound to win something.

    I find all the bunnies every month. I also do it for my Sister. I do them while watching TV late at night after Hubby goes to bed. Gives me something to do after I get done reading this board.

    I've seen some postings from people that have won prizes already. Pretty cool.

    I found all 161 this month. I really wanted to win the grand prize of the sewing machine last month but darn I didnt. My Janome Jem was stolen a couple months ago in a smash and grab so I was really hoping. Anyway, love the shop hop.

    You can go to your account information and it will give you the names of the shops you haven't found the bunny at yet. I got every cotton tail there was to be found this time.

    I used to do it regular for about a year. I'd search and search until I found all that was needed to get the big price and never won anything so I slowly stopped.

    Haven't played in about 3 years.

    Good luck to you. Hope you win something fun.
