Check out my newest necklace, I named it "akemashite omedeto," which in Japanese means "Happy New Year." 
 
 
I decided to venture into a new hobby... necklace design. This new found creativity comes from the fact that I have nothing pink in my wardrobe! Dan's team colors are pink, black and gold, so I definitely need something pink to blend into the crowd. Here is my first necklace, properly named the "Happinets Collection" aka "I Need Something Pink" :)

Here are some of the photos from last summer.
