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.

My personal superpower is warmth - to my children and husband especially, to people I know already and to people I meet. I am genuinely friendly and smile at people a lot (even when it is sadly not returned to me). I just have a zest for life that, I hope, emanates from me.

Optimism - I am pretty good at seeing the positive side of things. Even during the rough times, I can almost always see the light.

I am a superhero at presenting literacy to grade 2 students! I love reading and writing and developing vocabulary and it is my delight every day to pass that love on to my students.

Her jewelry looks as vibrant and colorful as she does! My superpower is about the mall things :), i guess i'm able to really feel thankful for my blessings, also the very small ones. For the blessings that are in my life right now, but also for the blessings that i trust will be on my path. And i really celebrate them too. Yes even by throwing mega-big-confetti into the air, together with DH or friends. It helps. It's powerful and it's a whole lot of fun too (until the vacuumcleaner has to come in the next day LOL)

My superpowers- I feel like Elasti-girl from the Incredibles. My flexiblity has come in handy more often than not. I am not swayed by a situation looking not possible, but rather find a way to stretch around it. My son says that I often "save the day" and am "so cool." that makes me FEEL like a superhero!

My superpower would be patience. I work with students who have big difficulties, and I patiently help them discover their own inner power.

I adore handcrafted jewelry!
When my husband was introducing me at a workshop once, he told everyone that my very best quality was that in all the years he had known me (since grade 9!), he had never heard me say anything negative about another person. It's always been my nature to think positively and speak kindly, but I hadn't really thought about it until he announced it to everyone that day. What a sweetie he is!

those necklaces are so great. . . I love them! I would say I'm a pretty good multi-tasker, if that can be considered a superpower!

I have been told by friends who see me interact with my son that I am an amazingly patient, loving, and strong woman and mom. I don't always feel these things, and I get frustrated sometimes and want to quit. But my love for my son keeps me going, so I guess my superpower is simply that, love, and the ability to keep hoping for the best to come.

My super power is definitely the power to find lost things. If anyone is missing anything, they come to me first. It may take a little while, but usually I can find whatever it is that is lost.

My superpower is that I am a mighty encourager. I believe in people, unfailingly, even if they don't believe in themselves. I'm the one who says you can when you're scared, I'm the safe place to fall where you won't be judged, I'm the one who likes to be behind the scenes while you show the world your greatness. That's my superpower.

My super power....the ability to remain calm and reasonable. When an emergency happens and all others are falling apart, I can take charge, get done what needs to get done and move on. I can think rationally and reserve my emotions until calm has come upon us again.
I also have this strange ability to know which one of my three children are coughing, in the middle of the night, when we are all tucked in bed. My husband just can't figure that one out!!!

I had to stop and think about this awhile, then come back to post.
I think my own personnal superpower is my ability to remain even keeled through whatever storms head our way. I try to focus on the horizon no matter what.
These necklaces are amazingly beautiful.
Thank you for sharing her link

I think my superhero quality is that I get out of bed every morning and try to keep my children, husband, house and job all running smoothly!
