Hi, just wanted to tell that I will leave the group. I absolutely have enjoyed my time here! Love 
I met amazing people and the Trade Secrets gift exchanges really were fun to do and to receive!:D (Big Grin) 
But I am making a choice to no longer join in the events, i just can't do it anymore next to everything in real life. :D But I didn't wanted to leave without a proper goodbye. :D
And I want to thank the lovely admins for the always good contact and help when I needed it. Heart 

 Goodbye! w00t! And thanks for everything! Heart
