Wednesday Giveaway : Superhero
Tags: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.

I would say my superpower is efficiently multi-tasking and getting it all done well.

My superpower---I am a master googler. I google everything and can find pretty much anything if it exists on the internet. I guess I"m good at brainstorming key words. :)
I heart that necklace!

I guess my best superpower right now is the fact that I am breastfeeding my little guy... come on now, that is pretty special :) I think that is an amazing power if I do say so myself!

I think this is a bit of a hard one. I think my superpower is love. I am pretty good at loving most people and making the ones around me feel very loved.

I am really really good at convincing people I know what they are talking about, even when I don't have a clue. I'm quick to research later, but this skill has saved me many times at work.

I think my superpower is brainstorming/creative thinking (although lately I haven't been using this skill much!).
Thanks for introducing us to so many wondrful artists. Your blog is always one of the most inspirational that I read!

I remember when you highlighted her beautiful jewelry before. I thought they were so lovely and fun. I was just at her sight on Monday trying to decide which necklace I would choose for myself. Its tough to decide.... My superhero quality would be the love that I have for my husband and son.

Love that necklace!
My first superpower was managing (through many trials and tribulations) to breastfeed both of my children exclusively through their first year.
But now that's over, so I guess I need a new one. I am calm in a crisis, always. And I'm a great cook!

I have been a fan of these necklaces for a long time now... and would love to win! My superpower is my ability to multitask -- something that I think comes with motherhood and goes away with fatherhood ;)

I've never really considered myself to be a superhero or have any specials skills. (I really don't like to do these things cuz I always feel like I might be tooting my own horn.) But several years ago my son was assigned a paper to write about someone he considered an everyday hero and he chose me, his mommy. That alone was a big enough compliment for me but he went on to share that he considered me a hero because I always encourage him and his siter. That no matter what they want to be or do I tell them it is possible and beleive in them. (Even when he said I want to be a rock star) I want them to know who they are and do what they love. Again, I think I'm just being me, but if they want to call me their superhero, I'll let them!

I have super read aloud children's books abilities! It was one of my favorite things to do as an elementary teacher and I love reading to my son.
Thanks!

I think my superpower is being 7+ months pregnant and taking care of my 3 other kids. Oh, alright and my husband too. Does he count as another kid? LOL!

My super hero power would be that I'm some how not falling apart with my husband working 488 miles away. He's gone 3 weeks each month which leaves me in charge of not only 5 kids but the entire house and all the problems that comes with it.

My superpower is communicating with my girls age 17 and 12. I get to stay home with them and I am always home when they come and go. Some say they could take care of them selves, but not so. If you want to really know your kids the best time to talk is when they get home from anywhere. This is the most important thing I can be doing at this time. Love it.

My first year teaching Civics to 8th grade students, and I have come to see that I just have a special way of dealing with them. Everyone warned me about their age group and how crazy they can be. They told me it was one of the hardest age groups to teach, but I love it! I really love it, and I would not want to teach any other grade!

Fun giveaway!
My superpower? To be objective. Have to say, it did inherit it from my dad.
And of course being overseer of 3 boys and 1 man-child, I have the power to find everything lost in this house.

My superhero power at this time is time management. I seem to be able to break my time between a full time job, full time college, a 2 1/2 year old and a baby due in 2 months, oh yeah and a hubby.

I guess my superpower would have to be that I am a super organizer. I love to do it and it relaxes me. Plus, when I am finished at my house I usually move on to my friend's homes...they love it!
