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.

First, what a beautiful necklace, just the style I LOVE! I always joke that I wish I was Elastigirl, LOL, but seriously, my superpower is keeping my child alive. Our middle son has type 1 diabetes and I do whatever it takes to keep his little body going day in and day out. It's hard for me to write that as I don't want any credit or sympathy, it is just what I do because I am his mom.

My power is to overcome. I've met so much adversity in my life - more than anyone should have to endure and never once did I falter. I've been strong through it, it's made me stronger and I'm proud to say that through tough times, I've been able to guide friends and loved ones and help THEM find their inner strength!

I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse, but I can never say no to helping out at my kid's school. If there is a committee to sit on, event to be organized or play to wardrobe...I am so there!

My super power is to take boring tasks like folding laundry or cleaning the house and make them into a game. My boys actually want to help clean because it's fun.

my superpower is the ability to juggle kids, husband,job, dinner and laundry. Topped off with my lightning fast wit and my keen motherly reflexes I'm a force to be reckoned with. Not to worry because I try to use my ability for the good of mankind so that we all may have a chance at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and clean underwear.

My superpower is the ability to handle it all-no matter the circumstance and that I judge by the fact of what I have been through in just the past 7 years. No one should have to endure what has been gifted to me and I pray no one does.

Thanks Ali for inspiring me to look inward. Today of all days it feels so difficult to force out something worthy of a "superpower" from my soul. I guess you could say my superpower is multitasking with amazing speed.
These are beautiful, colorful and cheerful designs. Thanks for introducing them to me. I am so thankful to Andrea... because she inspired you to start a blog. She must feel so honored.

My super power is to be a good mom, at least I try to be. I have to defend my oldest son over and over again in schools, and although I find this very hard, i do it over and over again, simple because I have faith in him, where others have given up so easily.
Love the necklace a lot.

There are many superhero qualities I wish I could possess and I love hearing of the things other people can do. Your blog definitely inspires me. In more than one way! Thanks for doing such a great job! As for my superhero abilites, I would say compassion. I love to listen to people and it allows me to learn from other people to enrich my own life.

I'm going say my superpower is math. I like to point out my math skills to my 11 year old daughter so she doesn't fall into that "girls can't do math" trap. (something for you to watch out for with your daughter, Ali). I think it's working because she just got a 100% on her 5th grade mid-year math assessment test. That's my girl!!!
