took every ounce of my willpower to resist and put it back onto the shelf!!
okie, can can

 

[josl]

hi mikmik,

haha, ur shoes cabinets full already ar, then juz keep the shoes in the boxes and stack them.

But if u want to do french tips u need to start leaving ur nails long!
Get the furry bag when ur hubby is not ard, post xmas sale see whether its still ard heehee
