How nice it would be to have a whole month to complete a shop hop. In upstate NY, the most shops in a shop hop that I participated in had 12 shops. However, we only had 5 days to complete the shop hop. That was one day more than what they usually give us.
Probably why I have the stash that I do. I hope you find a few people to go with and that you have a great time completing your shop hop!
