oh, ok. I did that last month, my first hop. Now I just go to the list of shops not visited and start from the top and work my way down. If it takes too much time to find, will go on to the next one.

If I stay in the fabrics too long at all these shops, I'd end up maxing out all my credit cards.

My credit card is in my bedroom and I don't feel like climbing a flight of stairs to get it, so I'm safe.

You guys are quick! I better get a move on. I spend too much time in the shop. One of the shops is my local quilt shop, that was exciting.She has her own patterns and designs for Timeless Treasure fabric.(the quilt company)

I've tried the FAB SHOP HOP before, but never won. Do you know anyone who did win? It's great to look at all those shops and ideas. Sara

I won a $10.00 gift certificate on the last one.

I won a ruler last year.

I am about half way through, I too get side tracked in some of the shops :lol: Last year I won a $25 gift certificate, I had fun spending it on some very pretty batiks. I sign up for the newsletters at most of the shops that have monthly drawings too. :D

If it is taking too long, I usually just ask for them to send me a hint. So many of them bury bunny deeeeeep in 50 pages of fabric. It is surprising how many times I find him on the contact us page after giving up. I've won a gift certificate, too.

Isn't that the truth. Unless they give a specific hint, I always check all those pages first.

i won a gift cert. in the jan. shop hop but never got the ruler i wanted to get. i emailed and they didn't reply. she had said she was sending it but it didn't come :-(
