The Atlanta Shop Hop begins today. I don't hop well, I don't even jump well...I'm a sitter feet planted firmly on terra firma!!! I'm not a big crowd shopper either, I go to Wal Mart in the early morning before the people come out. It's a problem I know. However I do love a good crowd of quilters on a mission! Thousands of quilters visiting every shop in the Atlanta Metro area..and let me tell you people that is covering some ground!!! (over 400 miles I think) I will be riding shot gun with Debbie and her DIL who is a brand new baby quilter. I love brand new baby quilters! I love to help them spend vast amount of money! I love the questions they ask and the enthusiasm in the discovering the joy of quilting. It will be my job to navigate (not drive!) Debbie's new car to every shop in the land, or as many as we can get to in 1 1/2 days. As for me I'm going to refrain from making any purchases that resemble fabric. OOOPS my nose just grew so long it hit my computer screen. Pinocchio style. Lets just see how I do. Liar Liar pants on fire!
This should be fun. I will take Mary Beth's my camera and try to catch the lighter side of the hop. Stay tuned. Do you think any of the shops will hand out little bags of cheetos to help us keep up our strength as we hop along? probably a big fat NO

Have a grand time.....
I'm a little "green with envy", Pinocchio!!! We all have our "issues", don't we!
Have a wonderful time...how could you NOT!
Ahhhh....this brings back fond memories of our mini shop hop in February....you, Gene, and me! Take some pictures that I'll recognize......so I can snatch them and save them as souvenirs of my day with you!
Nothing like a Shop Hop to get the blood pumping!! Now hop to it!! And remember to show us all your loot tomorrow!! WE know you are going to come home with tons of stuff...I mean really...you have to show the Newbies how it's done!!
Take care!

lately I'm more of the sitting kind myself (may have something to do with the baby growing deal) so I didn't sign up for the shop hop with my guild. Besides I'm savin my pennies and trying to get my ducks in a row to get to Quilt Market in SLC!
woo-hoo have fun!
Have a great time.
Enjoy! :^)
enjoy but think CHOCOLATE would work better!
So why do you suppose they don't have Cheetos? What is wrong with these people? ;O)
Hope you got some wonderful photos, "goodies" and lots of laughter!
Maybe not cheetoes but I am sure there will be some cholocate somewhere. The last spring hop I did was great and then I realized that I drove 719 miles in two days spent $$$$ could have gone to see my mom for that kind of out lay.... so rule now is no hops, but , but, but, I often go the week before to most of the shops just to see what is going on... LOL
