I looked up the phrase 'full of grace' and got only one hit....

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

This verse is clearly talking about Jesus (the Word made flesh). Where do you find Scripture calling Mary full of Grace.

Luke, Chapter 1:

26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.

The actual Greek word used is kecharitomene. According to what I have read (easily googled) it means having the fullness of Grace. A unique word for a unique woman - note the word woman.
