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.

Beautiful jewelry!
I would guess my superpower would be organization and the ability to be "anal" about my work (which is a very good trait to have when you work in a hospital!).

I had to sit and think about what makes me a super hero (that's kind-of depressing...so this is a good little exercise...)
I'm a labor and delivery nurse and I'd like to think I'm a super hero everytime I help one of those babies come into this world ;)
I can't wait to find out what you're gonna name your new little one!

My superpower is planning! I can plan one heck of a party, vacation, or scrapbook event :)

When I think of my superhero powers I think back to a Mothers Day card a received two years ago in which my husband had asked my eldest son (then 3) what the best thing about Mummy was, his answer "blowing up balloons". I like to think I have a few more superhero powers now, like finding missing toys!

What beautiful necklaces!
I have to say, my 'superpower' is probably a smile! No matter how bad it all looks, a smile can lift you and those around you!
Smile at a stranger today, some might look at you odd, but if just one person smiles back you have cheered them up, if only for a moment!

My superpower would be my listening ear. I can easily listen to friends and family vent, fall apart, whatever is needed so that they can get it out.

Yeah. I have been eyeing her jewelry for some time.
My superpower:
1. teaching-I love to teach, to explain, to make things easier to learn
2. encouraging-I hope people's lives are easier because of me, that they feel like they can carry on, that I can instill hope when that is needed, that I celebrate that they are alive, special and needed to the people are them.

I make pancakes...simple? yes. But it gets my two boys in the kitchen measuring, pouring etc and you can't imagine all the good things they tell you when they are distracted by flour and sugar :)

Hmmm...This is hard. I would have to say that I'm pretty good at staying calm during a crisis. It hasn't been tested that often, thankfully, but when it was, I didn't freak out. I was pretty calm and systematic about what needed to happen. I try to freak out later, when I have time :) Thanks!

Thanks for this positive boost! Everyone would say I am creative, which is true, but I think that my best superpower has to be my faith which has pulled me through a lot and has given me hope when I have needed it.

My superpower -- creating things with my hands. I love quilting, sewing, cross stitching, scrapbooking,baking; everything done with your hands. To sit down at the end of the day with a needle and thread calms me, or to smell a batch of cookies in the oven. Pure bliss.

I'd say my superhero in me is being able to get things done. Somehow I can balance my time (and with a list) I can be very productive on a daily basis.

I think being a single mom to an autistic 6 year old, working full time, and still managing to finish my Master's degree is fairly impressive (although I will never admit it). So I think my superpower would have to be my drive and passion!

My superpower is being able to find things that people have lost. Really, that's what I am known for.
The thing that I am best at is embracing imperfection. My projects don't always work they way I want them to, but I can usually find a way to embrace the outcome and make them work for me.

My superpower is that I can organize and manage complex projects or rescue failed ones. And have this crazy confidence while doing it - I have no idea where that confidence comes from, but it's there. I never wonder what the heck I'm doing, I just do it.

My superpower is being a strong woman who can take anything life throws at her and roll with it. My husband deploys six months out of the year...every year. I take care of our house, three kids (8, 5 and 5), and two dogs. Let me tell you sometimes it is not easy.

I have admired her necklaces for a couple of years now - they are fantastic! As for my superpower....I'm generous - almost to a fault! I love to give people love, things, time...to show them that I love them.

My super-powers are Perserverence and Faith. I have a neuromuscular disease which slows me down physically but I adapt, change and show courage and strength. I believe strongly that with God anything is possible!
