Just curious.
Well, are you planning to buy stuff at the shop hop or just hop for the sake of hopping? lol
If it were me and I'd really want to to go, I'd set myself some guidelines to follow. For example, I would pick a color/type that I have little of, or blenders/neutrals. Or, I would decide on some gadgets or supplies that I want to get. That way I would have a plan going in and I would (hopefully) be able to handle the impulse shopping. Now the odds are that I would still pick up something not on the list BUT I know that I would have a good time AND I would be able to come to this thread with my head held high.
