I have been doing the shop hop for years and have probably won $10.00 about 15-20 times. One time I won some fabric (2d prize I think) and even if the $10.00 gift certificate only covers the postage, I think it is worth it. The shop that is giving the gift certificate usually comes out ahead since some of us get items that cost more than $10.00. I usually spend the whole month hunting for bunnies and only do up to 5 shops a day. That way it doesn't take much time. I enjoy seeing all the shops.
