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 superpower would probably be my ability to cook, clean, organize, find lost things, teach, read, know where everything is, snuggle, and love my family simultaneously without losing my mind (most days!). :)

my superpower is being able to sing. It's a God given gift and I use it every saturday night at church to sing praise. I also sing the first Friday of every month at my children's school mass. I hope that by hearing my voice, people who come to our mass feel some of what I do when I sing.
thanks Ali!!

My superpower would be multi-tasking. I have 3 kids who all play sports on different teams. I manage them and no one has missed a game or practice!

my super power is inherited from my mother and only came to fruition more than 22 years ago when i became a mother for the first time. i developed all-seeing, discerning eyes which is kind of ironic considering that my "normal" vision is so poor that i have been wearing glasses since age 8 mos that are coke bottle thick. but back to my super power, i see everything related to my 5 children. they never stand a chance hiding from me. But fortunately, since i am blessed with pretty great kids, i don't have to use my super powers too often. or perhaps it is because they are smarter than i was as a kid because i never understood how mom knew when i would try to get away with things behind her back. LOL i guess my kids figured out pretty quick that they couldn't so they didn't :)
i am such a big fan of andrea's blog and her amazing designs.

My "superpower" is that I am really great at reading people, sensing their energy and feeling what it is that may do for them - such as smile, say hello, take them dinner etc. I have been so blessed with happiness and joy and beautiful friendships everyday to have this gift.

Photographic memory. I can even remember what page number in a specific book that a certain quote is on. (I swear it's the only way I got all A's in college.) And now, in my law enforcement career, I can remember an incident months later just based on a name, even after having contact with hundreds of people.

Thanks for sharing such happy jewelry! I love all the colors. My superpower is running. I'm thankful to be able to run on behalf of charities and help them raise money for much needed cancer research. Believe me I'm not in perfect shape and you might not think to look at me that I'm a runner. But I am proof that if you can handle the training (for weeks and weeks) you can run/walk for the races and causes that you love. Thanks for making me think about me today!

My superhero power is forgiveness. I just can't hold a grudge, and figure everyone deserves a break.
LOVE the necklaces!

When I am sure about something, I can convince anyone. My husband says I have the power of endless "argumentation"... Is this a superpower?

I have been pleased to find and share my ability of being able to cut through and put things in a reasonable order. It makes me happy. It makes others around me happy also. Cindy McD

My dearest friend says my superpower is making people comfortable, that after a few minutes I will make you feel like I have known you all your life. Sweet thing for her to say. I love these necklaces and would love to win one to give to my dear friend, her birthday is coming soon.Someday I hope to buy one for my daughter and one for myself.

I am good at cooking. Not all the time, not every meal is gourmet. But I can make a delicious bean burrito. Thanks for your inspiration!

I loved reading some of the comments...what an empowering idea, Ali!
My superpower: I have the ability to remain calm in a crisis...with just enough emotion to relate and empathize, but still able to make decisions and take action if need be.
