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.

Wow, I've never really given myself credit for having a superpower before. I guess I'd have to say mine is writing letters. I've got grandparents in nursing homes and I like to brighten their days when I can.

I think patience is my superpower.
Helping people with their computer problems requires a lot of patience, and I have it.

Hi, Ali. Thank you for inspiring us to think about something good about ourselves. We are all so quick to put ourselves down; it's just easier somehow than to remember what we do well.
I think I'm doing a good job of relating to my 13 year-old daughter. I remember well being in 8th grade. I'm trying hard to be a strong woman and guide her through her teen years w/o being overbearing and judgmental. So far, I think it's working!

Hi Ali: Love the necklace. I'd have to say my superpower is strength. Life is being kind of hard on me right now and I wasn't sure I'd have the strength to make it through. I'm not sure where it's coming from, but lo and behold there it is. I think having kids, does that to us. I don't know what I'd do without them. BTW, love your yellow layout yesterday.

My superpower? I am able to *play* with my boys: ball, video games, bike riding. One of my son's friends made the comment that ladies don't play video games and both my boys piped up "Mine does! That's HER Guitar Hero game".

I'd say my superpower right now is protecting and growing this little baby girl in my belly. She's our first and it's been so amazing to see how my body (and mind) have adapted to building this tiny new life!
Gorgeous necklaces!!

What a great give away!! The first thing that comes to mind... since I should be working but instead am reading this blog... is that I am a good Project Manager (my profession). It is a icy, winter day in Dallas so winning would be a great pick me up!

I can make my 2-year old laugh like nobody else. The sound of his 'belly' laugh is probably my most favorite sound in the whole world.
