Read the How to Hop guidelines on the
Hop Main Page
and the
Rules of the Game
then click on
January List of Shops.

On that page, you will find a list of all the sites participating in the January FabShop Hop. At each site you visit, look around and find the white bunny with the yellow background that says 'youfoundit' with January dates — click on the bunny, and a prize registration page will come up — enter your email address and click on the "register for prizes" button.

This sends a message to our database that you registered for prizes at the site. You will receive a Thank You message and an email confirmation that you have registered at that site. You can then continue shopping at that site or go back to the home page for that site and continue on the Hop. You can also view a list of shops where you have already successfully located the 'youfoundit' bunny in the Member Area

I'm so excited. This is my third shop hop this year. I'm hooked. It is so much fun looking at new web sites, seeing the fabrics and notions available around the country and beyond. I was shocked when I won a $10.00 gift certificate in the April hop. I got something for myself and something to share with my friend that's teaching me to quilt. What fun! I look forward to more hops.

Thanks,
Julie
