Breast Cancer Rosary #2

This is another of my Breast Cancer rosaries ... A friend of mine, Colleen, had suggested that I use pink beads and roses to represent St. Therese of Lisieux Novena, also known as The Little Flower. The lady I purchase my beads from, Pam, has these amazing pink beads ... I mean amazing! I then went on a hunt for rose beads and found these awesome Japanese ones with a pink rose. This particular style of crucifix I struggled over, until I asked my "fans" on Facebook what style of crucifix they preferred ... this one or a fancier one. Their responses opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing this particular style of crucifix. I must say, I truly like how this rosary turned out, don't you?

This lovely will be going to her forever home soon.

My Breast Cancer Rosary

As we all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I am working on creating a "line" of breast cancer rosaries, this being my first one.

I saw these fantastic pink beads and just had to have them! I also had some pink bi-cone crystal-like beads that I used to surround the Pater beads in this lovely. In my research, I found that St. Agatha is the Patron Saint of Breast Cancer, so I went in search of a St. Agatha charm. I put them all together and here is the final result. Gorgeous, yes?

My Alzheimer's Rosary

Hello, my name is Melissa. I have wanted to start a blog for quite some time now, so here goes! My one true passion is making traditional rosaries. I just love making them. Through my Facebook page, Melissa A's Rosary Page, and my sister page, Melissa A's Beaded Makes, I am generating money to donate to the Alzheimer's Association at the end of 2014. My original goal was 250.00. My next goal was 500.00. Through some very kind donations and many sales, I have surpassed that. Alzheimer's affects 3 very important ladies in my life, Nancy who is like a second mom to me, Anne who is my late pen-pal's wife, and Faye, my mother-in-law; this I do in their honor. I have decided to start a "line," if you will, of Alzheimer's rosaries in purple. This is my first one.  I hope you enjoy her! https://www.facebook.com/melissarosarypage?ref=hl
