When I first learned to make rosaries, I mainly made them for my friends and family. It wasn't until ten years later that I realized what the then-hobby really meant to me. My daughter was having her First Communion and I was a busy working mom without much leisure time. I wanted to buy her a nice rosary, but found that every Catholic store I went to carried the same selection of rosaries and none of them were really "meant" for my daughter. I finally decided to order some parts and make one for her myself, so it would be more special to her. During the days it took me to complete the rosary, I had time to reflect on my Faith, and that of my daughter. I found during the construction of a single rosary a whole new side of my Faith that I never knew existed. I knew then that I wanted to share my passion with everyone I could. I wanted to make rosaries that are "meant" for people. I use vendors that are small, Catholic-owned businesses like mine and that practice has led me to a new group of friends who share my love of prayer and the Catholic faith. My whole journey has been a blessing!
