announced to her that she is to be His Mother? Who else in the bible was said to have been "full of grace?" Is there room for sin, if you are full of grace? why or why not? have you referred to her as blessed among all women? why or why not?

That's a lot of questions, cupcake.
Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed is thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Basically she gave birth to Jesus. Jesus IS God. There for she is the Mother of God. She was obviously full of grace if God chose her to give birth to his only son. I mean seriously, the woman goes through hell to have a kid who is supposed to save the world and no one gives her props??

It's easy, really!
1) Is Jesus God?
2) Is Mary not his mother?
3) Ergo ...
I have read some discussion about 'full of grace', and some claim, in fact, that the proper translation is 'IS grace'.
She is blessed among women, because she fulfilled what was pre-figured right at the fall, when God placed emnity between the serpent's offspring, and the woman's offspring.
We believe the offspring to be, primarily, Jesus Christ, who will crush the serpent's head.

I just heard something about this on Christian radio the other day. They were discussing how Jesus could be born "sinless" if his mother was human, because all humans have the stain of sin on them, even Mary. Hebrews 10:5 says that God "prepared a body" for Jesus. In order for that body to be sinless, God would have had to prepare a separate zygote genetically distinct from Mary, and implant it in her womb. She, still being the virgin, would give birth to Him, but He would not share her DNA which would be stained with original sin. The body would be prepared separately. But He being born out of her would still fulfill the prophecy of being born "of the line of David".
"Grace" is the state of God giving us something that we don't deserve. Mary was in this state when God blessed her with being the mother of the Savior.
However, I do not pray to Mary (who is dead and not yet ascended to Heaven, nor would I pray to her even if she were, since she is not God). Rosaries and Novenas are specifically Catholic.

Mary(s) was the mother of Jesus the Messiah.

she is very important. god chose her to be the mother of the one who saved us all from damnation. she was a virgin, who god saw fit to carry the redeemer. my mother is important to me. how important do you think mary was to her son? she is full of grace. how many women dream they are going to have a child without having intercourse, and will be persecuted and the nine. she is a very important piece of the puzzle.

Jesus is a human prophet as Mohammad & as Epraheem allah send them to people to worship allah only no partner with him plz read this statements in the quraan :-
"Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then He said unto him: Be! and he is. (59)" holy quran
"O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender." holy quran
"They say: Allah hath taken (unto Him) a son - Glorified be He! He hath no needs! His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Ye have no warrant for this. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not? (68) Say: Verily those who invent a lie concerning Allah will not succeed. (69) This world's portion (will be theirs), then unto Us is their return. Then We make them taste a dreadful doom because they used to disbelieve. (70)" holy quran
