Day One: Tips and Tricks for a Successful Hop!

The Hop is off and running and we want you to have a great time!

Here are some tips for having a great Shop Hop in 2009:Link

• Bring address labels when you hop to quickly enter door prize drawings and enter your information on your passport!

• Don't forget that your non-hopping chauffeur (in other words, your husband, boyfriend, sister, etc...) should accompany you into each store and enter for the special Chauffeur's prize. The prize is a $10 gas card and it is possible to win at more than one shop, but only non-hoppers will be allowed to enter.

• Check out all of the different samples made from the Bonnie Blue Basics line from Marcus Fabrics. Each store has done something different with these same fabrics!

• For the most efficient Shop Hop, check out your passport. On it, there are listed several "mini hops" that can easily be done in one or two days. For example, you could do all of the Midcoast area shops in one weekend and then all of the Downeast area shops the next weekend. Organize a carpool with other gals in your area to cut down on fuel costs!
