Letters and Numbers


This picture shows the difference between the "old" letters (Andi Lee) and the "new" letters (Daniel).  Andi's rosary also shows 6mm beads and Daniel's shows 8mm beads.  The numbers are only available in the "new" style.  I have a good supply of the "old" style beads in the letters and only a few numbers; so I am able to do names only in this size.  If you would like to have a date incorporated into a rosary, I will have to use the "new", larger style.  It works well with both 6mm and 8mm beads.  Please allow at least 4 weeks if you would like the "new" beads as I am only ordering them as I need to since they are a little more expensive.  Thank you for your support of our little rosary making business!
God's Peace and Blessings,
Katie

Daniel Joseph


This rosary is for a little baby boy who is coming into the world today! Daniel Joseph's rosary is a special gift from his loving grandparents.  They picked out 8mm blue gemstones and brought them to me to do the rest! We used the "new" 7mm silver plated letter beads, a St. Joseph centerpiece, blue inlaid crucifix with a Guardian Angel/St. Michael medal to hang with it. God Bless sweet Daniel and his family today--his birthday!

Andi Lee


Andi Lee is Luke William's little sister! Dark pink gemstones were chosen for the Ave's and silver plated Bali style beads for the Pater's. The centerpiece is a sterling silver Miraculous Medal and the crucifix is pewter. We added a Guardian Angel/St. Michael medal to hang with the crucifix.

Luke William


A special keepsake for a sweet little boy.  Luke's grandmother brought me these dark blue gemstones and we did the rest! We used the blue beads for the Ave's and base metal Bali style beads for the Pater's.  The centerpiece is a silver plated scapular medal and the curcifix is plated silver with a blue inlay.  The letters are silver plated 6mm beads--the "old" style. After taking the pictures we added a Guardian Angel/St. Michel medal to hang with the crucifix.

Anna's 1st Holy Communion ~ 2013


Anna's 1st Holy Communion rosary is absolutely gorgeous! I used 8mm stardust beads for the Ave's and sterling silver Bali beads for the Pater's.  Each Ave is separated by a Swarovski glass pearl and 2 silver plated balls. The centerpiece is the silver plated chalice (not shown), and the crucifix is sterling silver. Anna's rosary is the first one to use these "new" 7mm letter and number beads. What a beautiful keepsake for her to treasure!

Tyler - First Communion 2013


Tyler's Frist Holy Communion is the first one of the 2013 "season" and perhaps the last with these particular letter and number beads as the numbers have been discontinued.  I used dark green miracle beads for the Ave's and silver plated 8mm balls for the Pater's.  The crucifix is a beautiful, simple Orthodox style with a Guradian Angel Medal.

Katilyn's First Holy Communion


Kaitlyn is a friend of Kara's and her favorite color is blue, so Kara helped me design this rosary. We used blue and white swirl beads for the Ave's and bright silver beads surrounded by clear crystals for the Pater's.  Kara chose a sweet crucifix with little flowers a Guardian Angel medal.  Kaitlyn receiver her First Holy Communion on April 22, 2012.  Congratulations, Kaitlyn!!
