Wednesday Giveaway : Superhero
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.

I love those necklaces. So beautiful. My superpower is cooking a full, well balanced, and DELICIOUS meal in under 15 minutes, even with nothing thawed out! :)

I love her necklaces!!
My superpower is being optimistic and able to see the worst and the best in a situation - and then living with anything in between that happens. Oh, and the belief that God is always close by to share the burdens and carry me when I need it.

I've been feeling a little down lately, but I think one of my superpowers is making my kids laugh. And seeing them laugh always puts a smile on my face.

i never thought i had powers. i work in the medical field because i love people- but it wasn't until last october when i was helping my mom recover from surgery that she looked up at me and said- you are so good at this. this is why you were put on this earth. i actually broke down and cried. i knew then that she was right. i love what i do, and it is a power i have to just sit and care for others and i wouldn't trade it for a cape any day.

Hmm, my superpower would have to be healthy meal-making that my kids actually almost always eat. I have tried to always provide lots of healthy choices and variety for my kids, and now, when faced with choices even away from home, they tend to make great choices! It makes me feel very proud :)

well I don't know if it is really a superpower but I do consider myself to be a very dedicated and devoted person. I put my heart and soul into everything I do. I always give 100% of myself.

Wow, that is an amazing thing to think about. I think that my superpower is "holding others stories", I am a social worker and it's something that I get to do in my job - listen to and hold others concerns, hopes and fears. Sher B.

hmmm... i think i am really good at "reading" people -- telling how they are feeling, even if they tell me something else. i guess it is called honoring my "hunches"

I can make connections between seemingly unrelated things. And I have an uncanny ability to connect people who don't know each other, but should...

I am a superhero because I am a teacher. Everyday I have seventeen children that push me to be better. It can sometimes be challenging but I can do it!

I love her work!
My superpower is adaptation. I feel like a chameleon sometimes.

My superpower is to dispel the "energy vampires" by maintaining a sense of cheerfulness, even when those around you want to pull you down with drama and negativity. It helps to keep me and sometimes those around me centered and positive.

This past month my superpowers (HA!) have included diligence and an eye for detail. (These come in handy when you're finishing up a major home addition, by the way.)

I am super at laundry. I can get stains out of most anything, but I am super anal about how the laundry is washed and dried.

I made 3 fabulous young men - what could be better than that. One of life's true miracles.

My superpower is the ability to be the eye of the storm, the calm bit in the midst of the chaos of three growing boys, a husband, a big labradoodle, and classrooms full of adult students (I teach developmental ed at a community college). I'm grateful for my superpower as it keeps me sane, mostly happy, and at peace.
