Several years ago, when my oldest daughter got her ears pierced we found ourselves for the first time in the jewelry making aisle at the local craft store. We bought a few things and made ourselves an endless supply of earrings. We even managed to sell a few. Mostly, however, we enjoyed the many hours together complimenting and playfully criticizing each other on our designs and color schemes. Since that time she has married and blessed us with many beautiful grandchildren. My jewelry crafting days also became crowded out as we welcomed new babies as well.

In the midst of this beautiful life I was introduced to the power of praying the Rosary and immediately found my heart transplanted into the beauty of Catholic faith. In a house full of young children it didn't take long for me to find my own first rosary covered with love from the hands of my sticky fingered toddler and the name, "Sticky Rosary" emerged.

Once again, I have found inspiration in the quieter seasons of life to pick up my own jewelry making with a new and beautiful purpose. I sincerely hope that you enjoy my unique, handmade rosaries and consider my work as a blessing for yourself or as a gift for that special person.
