i've been participating in these for 10 years now...some of the shops it is very difficult to find them. i did find that if i was at a shop that offered no hints and i spent 10+ minutes looking for it a couple different times i would email the shop and ask, they have always been good about responding with a hint, or actually telling where it is. it is not necessary to find them all; i think you only need 139 or something like that. if you find at least 145 (just to be safe) you will be eligible for all of the good prizes. it is best to only find a few each day. and a few extra on saturdays. they have daily drawings that you are included in as long as you find at least 1 bunnie each day. (and saturdays are double drawing days, so always find some on saturdays) you really cut down on your chances of winning anything when you go through and find them all in a few days. the only time i participated and did not win even a $10 gift certificate was the one time i hopped all the first week, then never went back. everytime i have stretched it out for the whole month like it's supposed to be done i have won either gift certificates of fabric bundles!
