Shop Hop Premiums
There was some confusion during the 2012 Shop Hop due to an error in distribution of the cutting mat and ruler which together comprised the 2012 premium. Country Treasures received 24 mats and 12 rulers to be distributed to our first Hoppers. However, Country Treasures distributed the mat and ruler separately resulting in dissatisfaction among some Hoppers. We have therefore reordered and now received more mats and rulers but we only know the names of a few of the disappointed Hoppers. If you are one of the 36 Hoppers who received a single premium item from Country Treasures during the Shop Hop please give us a call or send us an email stating which premium item you did not receive and we will be happy to mail the missing premium item to you or please stop in and we can give it to you.
