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.

WOWsers, I adore Andrea's SuperHerO necklaces...
My superhero power is being an optimist and manifesting the life I dream of for me and my family... when I think/dream/envisage something... sure enough the stepping stones are laid before me and it all comes together. Sometimes very quickly, sometimes over months or years...
At times I dont see my progress, it seems I am off track... until something EVEN BETTER happens and its like "ahhhhh-hhhha"
I trust in this optimisim and intuition I have been blessed with.

Cool jewelry!
My superpower is the ability to focus and ignore outside interruption when necessary. (Or maybe that's my preservation power with 2 preschoolers running around!)

I am a superheroe.
I am a TEACHER.
I teach photography to 115 high school kids.
But, I strive to teach them so much more than photography.
I teach them to journal.
I teach them to write.
I teach them to craft.
I teach them to share.
I teach them to love life.
I teach them to be patient.
I teach them to follow their heart.
I teach them to create with their soul.
But most importantly, I teach them to have a VOICE.
I inspire them.
I am a Superheroe.

I LOVE these necklaces--gorgeous! I really try hard to make healthy, creative meals almost everyday of the week for my family. It's not really a superpower, but some days it's a struggle to get it all done.

I am super preggo woman. To me and DH anyway. I am expecting twins and had a rough first trimester but even with GD, being at high risk age, I am doing quite well. I am proud of being able to control the diabetes with diet and exercise, all with a 42 inch waist.

I'd have to say my greatest superpower is being mom, wife, homeschool teacher, and now a student (back to school after over 25 years!). My second superpower also reduces stress and relaxes me: knitting. I made 15 scarves over Christmas.

I use my "superpowers" to try and find a cure for muscular dystrophy. (I'm a researcher.) Love the necklaces ... my fingers are crossed.

UHMMMMM! Good question. I guess my superpower is that I LOVE people, all people, their stories, beliefs, energy. Love it all. I am a people person!

My superpower...hmmm...I have to think...I guess it would be adapting to whatever hat it is that I'm wearing at the moment. I'm a business owner with my DH (which takes a ton of time, patience and dedication) and a mother to two boys (that we LOVE SO MUCH). So whatever hat I'm wearing at the moment, business owner, mother, driver to where you need to go, laundry person, cook, cleaner-upper, organizer, reminderer to "pick up your socks please" person, I guess we are superheros!
Thanks for the great give away and info on Andrea!

My super power is that I am the friend catcher. I am the one who keeps everyone together, having parties, scrap days, spa moments. I love having my girlfriends in my life, they are such a great support system!

I'm great at my job...maybe because I'm so organized or dedicated to doing a great job. Either way, no matter what job I've ever had, my bosses have loved me.

I like to think that my superpower is being a good Mommy. I have three young sons ages 7,4, & 3. They can be so much fun and exhausting at the same time. My middle son has Asperger's and the past few years have been the hardest for our family getting him diagnosed. He's taught me to have so much patience and to be more understanding so in a way he's the one with the super powers!
