I'm afraid there's some truth to it, too.... Don't worry, he's sweet, not mean... He loves that I love quilting...
thanks for helping we "torons"...

What am I doing wrong? I'm beginning to think I have fallen for someone's ugly joke! Can anyone explain this, so a moron like me, 'gets' it? :oops:

I gave up... decided I was too blonde to figure out how toplay... thanks for having the guts to inquire..... I certainly didnt..

You are so right! Yesterday, and last night, I found 85 bunnies! Nope no OCD in my family, I got it all! What are 'bonus bunnies'?

Sometimes I am asked to be one of the trouble shooters and I get to hop a day early to see how smooth it will go before it goes live.

I bow to your superior knowledge. What the heck are 'bunus bunnies"?

Not superior, just have been doing it a long time. A bonus bunny is sometimes inserted after you have found the bunny in the web site. Generally they move them around day to day, to different stores so they are not in the same place on different days. They are doing it with blocks for the hop in Nov&Dec. It is fun to play and I have won gift certificates to some of the stores.

Thank you for the info. Do they have the rules and other info posted somewhere, or do you just learn as you go? Is there any kind of prize list?

You can look at the rules etc, and yes, there are some really nice prizes. Google fabshophop and the web site will come up and you can register.

If they want you to visit the shop way do they make it so hard to visit them in shop hop
