Oh, it looks bling-y enough to me! Very elegant!

I am always astounded how much my findings and wire cost so I sympathize with you there! One expects to have to shell out for the beads, but the other materials really add up fast too.

You must have done something right because they are up and look great!

Though knotty exp;lained it well, there is one more thhing: When you first put up a post, there is a section called "manage attachments" under the top "submit reply" button. You can use that too.........or go to "advanced" after a post is up, to access the manage attachments section.

Oh, Nicole,
It's beautiful.....
And I'd much rather own and wear this than 550 pieces of paper any day.
You've created an heirloom; much nicer to pass on than the bits of paper.

Hi Nicole,

You forgot to factor in the price for "unique design" and "handmade". That should make it worth a lot more than $550. If you think you've lost your mind a bit, just use your beautiful rosary to ponder the five joyful mysteries and you'll be back to normal in no time. See how useful and economical a beautiful rosary can be(saves on the cost of therapy)?
