Hi guys!

Hey Sachi, sucks about your suitcase :wacko:

Good thing your mom is going to visit you soon! I'm planning to leave some stuff here too for when my mom goes to the US.

It's way too much ####### to take with me! I already told hubby I'll need to use a lot of space in his suitcase! lol

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and looking forward for more approvals to come! :dance:
