Happy New Year!! We hope you all had a wonderful 2016!  It was such a great year for Diamonds or Pearls and we wanted to thank you for the support you have given us.  When we started the blog we weren’t quite sure of the direction we wanted to go, but we promised each other we would always have fun with it.  We couldn’t have enjoyed it more!  As sisters we are always sharing and hope you have enjoyed seeing what we share with each other on a daily basis. We have so much in store for 2017 and look forward to our new adventures with life, the blog, and sharing more behind the scenes.
