Wednesday Giveaway : Superhero
Today I want to celebrate a wonderful blogger, jewelry artist, mother, and life coach who has become a friend: Andrea Scher of Superhero Designs. [ photo below by Boho Girl Denise Andrade ]
Andrea is the reason I began blogging back in 2004. I was working on a project for a workshop about designing with color (& color inspiration) and was searching the internet using the search terms "colorful jewelry." I stumbled onto Andrea's Superhero site (and of course I had to order a handmade necklace as part of my research), started reading her blog and checking out all her inspiring links, and decided then and there that what she was doing was cool and I wanted to start my own blog.
I finally got to meet Andrea in person last summer after corresponding back and forth from time to time over the past four years. It was awesome. She has a heart of gold, a wonderful written voice, and a gift for helping people get in touch with their own inner superhero.
Today, lucky readers, Andrea is giving away a one of her fantastic, colorful bead necklaces. In addition, she has a special holiday sale happening now that includes $20 off necklaces bead necklaces. Passion would make a great gift for a special friend (or a suggestion for a spouse who may need a little help in choosing a Valentine gift).
Here's a little FAQ on her lovely necklaces. She has also added these very cool silver pendant necklaces to her offerings.
To be entered into the drawing today leave a comment that highlights your own personal superpower (or superpowers). And before you think you have none, stop and consider the possibility
for a moment. What is something you are just awesome at? Take a
minute to be proud of something about ourselves and share it publicly.
I bet you are your very own superhero in some very special way.
Comments will be closed at 8pm Pacific tonight with the winner posted shortly after.
Super GRANNIE at your service!!! I have 3 of the greatest grandkids anywhere and I love doing any and all things with them.

I am super preggo woman. To me and DH anyway. I am expecting twins and had a rough first trimester but even with GD, being at high risk age, I am doing quite well. I am proud of being able to control the diabetes with diet and exercise, all with a 42 inch waist.

I'd have to say my greatest superpower is being mom, wife, homeschool teacher, and now a student (back to school after over 25 years!). My second superpower also reduces stress and relaxes me: knitting. I made 15 scarves over Christmas.

so funny- i've been calling myself "super woman" recently. i've been able to get it all done, even though it seems overwhelming. and i'm proud of myself, darnit! maybe not as much scrapbooking as i would love, but i've been doing pretty well ;)

I use my "superpowers" to try and find a cure for muscular dystrophy. (I'm a researcher.) Love the necklaces ... my fingers are crossed.

UHMMMMM! Good question. I guess my superpower is that I LOVE people, all people, their stories, beliefs, energy. Love it all. I am a people person!

My superpower...hmmm...I have to think...I guess it would be adapting to whatever hat it is that I'm wearing at the moment. I'm a business owner with my DH (which takes a ton of time, patience and dedication) and a mother to two boys (that we LOVE SO MUCH). So whatever hat I'm wearing at the moment, business owner, mother, driver to where you need to go, laundry person, cook, cleaner-upper, organizer, reminderer to "pick up your socks please" person, I guess we are superheros!
Thanks for the great give away and info on Andrea!

gosh, I love thinking about this...
My super power is that I am the friend catcher. I am the one who keeps everyone together, having parties, scrap days, spa moments. I love having my girlfriends in my life, they are such a great support system!

my superpower would be being a good mom to my four boys. it takes lots of work and everyday is a different challenge but it's what i do best.

I'm great at my job...maybe because I'm so organized or dedicated to doing a great job. Either way, no matter what job I've ever had, my bosses have loved me.

I like to think that my superpower is being a good Mommy. I have three young sons ages 7,4, & 3. They can be so much fun and exhausting at the same time. My middle son has Asperger's and the past few years have been the hardest for our family getting him diagnosed. He's taught me to have so much patience and to be more understanding so in a way he's the one with the super powers!

My superpower is teaching, caring for, and entertaining 13 children all day in second grade, then coming home and teaching, loving, and entertaining 2 more.

My super power is my smile! It makes every and any situation change. I've seen others' faces light up, when my slightly crooked, chipped pearlies start beaming. It makes my children laugh, and my husband grateful. It keeps me from taking life too seriously, even when it would be excused. My smile, my super power, invites complete strangers to be comfortable, and honestly, makes the world a better place : )

Those are beautiful necklaces...a couple particularly caught my eye.
My super power....I would say it is multi-tasking and keeping calm under pressure.

I'm an emotional person. Share with me your fondest memories, happy or sad and I will feel everything that you feel right along with you. Sometimes it isn't a fun quality to have, but most of the time I love it.

Love this...I think everyone has a superpower - it is just a matter of finding it. I have two. I can break any sort of technical gadget. I can't help it, and it frustrates me. I've been in software development for the past 14 years, so it comes in handy to uncover bugs in the system.
My other superpower is that I can find almost anything. Lucky me, I can balance out my other power by finding the solution. Usually, the "finding" superpower manifests itself in finding other people's stuff though. My favourite story is when a neighbor called me to find her son's beloved blanket...they had been looking all day. Sure enough, I came over and found the precious item!

Hmm... I'm a teacher. That makes me a superhero, doesn't it? ;o)

My superpower is stick-to-it-ness. I'm 41 years old and started law school last year because I always said I would. I didn't want to cop out on a promise I'd made to myself! It's a really tough studying load, but because I've stuck with the my study plan and not slacked off, I am now in the top 1% of my class -- hooray for me!
I also took 3 years to knit a sweater, but I didn't quit and now it's finally completed. My husband laughs but thinks that shows good stick-to-it-ness, too. :)

I love the necklaces!
I am superhero at organizing. If you set something down in front of me, I will have it sorted, categorized, labeled and color coded by the time you return. Lol.
