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'm the superhero around here when I fix broken toys. Any kind of fixing, be it sewing, patching, gluing or hammering stuff is referred to by the children as the toy 'having an operation' (!) So, as chief surgeon to wounded toys.. I suppose I'm a superhero!

My awesome super power (I did have to think for a momemnt) is listening. Even though I don't have a lot of experience in some of the things that friends come to me for, I have always been able to offer a listening ear and comforting words.
I love Andrea's blog and her beautiful work!

My super power is being able to twist a cap on so tight no one (including my husband) can take it off without the help of that Pampered Chef top opener (that's why we bought it!) hehe

My superpower is the ability to look at the big picture and understand if a company is making the right decisions today to prepare for the future. I'm sure it sounds like I'm "full of it," but that truly is my superpower. I have an innate business sense that knows what to do, when and how.

my superpower would have to be the ability to pick out just the perfect gift for someone. I have a knack for it.

My Superpower, at the moment is growing a life inside me, and keeping everything else going at the same time! Trust me, it's not always easy to stay calm and collected when all you want to do is breakdown and cry due to all the hormones.

My superhero power is listening. I am the best listener in the whole wide word. I have been dying for a Superhero necklace for at least 2 years...and this Saturday is my birthday! Pretty please ;-)

I am awesome at being patient. I tell my husband (lovingly of course) that when God made me He gave me an extra serving of patience knowing that I was going to be married to a very impatient, impulsive man! Wonderful how He works those things out!!

My superpower is invisible. It cannot be seen by others. My seven year old son has special needs including a ADHD/ASD mix. And of course he has meltdowns. Huge, enormous cying fits in shops over trainers (sneakers) that hurt. Or cookies that have bits in them. Or something. And every bone in my body wants to join in and cry too. To scream in frustration. But I don't. I pinch myself. I bite my lip. I focus. And I stay calm. And no-one knows, no-one can see the internal melt down I am having. That is my hidden superpower.

I love that necklace--it is so cheerful! My superpower is the ability to see when I have been wrong and be willing to apologize and change for the better. :)

My superpower? Hmmm... I can get a crying child to smile any time of the day, for any reason. A pretty powerful talent for a preschool teacher to have! Thanks Ali!
