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???? I am good at encouraging others, whether it is a dream, a specific goal or just being there with a smile or positive comment.
Everyone needs someone to be their personal cheerleader...and it's me!

Do I think I have superpowers? Not on your life! But I HAVE been able to homeschool 3 children for the past 7.5 years, run a household, and even work part-time for a while, all while maintaining my sanity. I have also spent the past year learning a ton about digital scrapbooking and am proud to say that I am not intimidated by technology!

For the past 23 years, on a daily basis during the school year. I manage 100 plus kids daily while transporting them back and forth to school. I believe anyone can drive a bus, but it take a special people to be a true school bus driver. I feel I am lucky to be one of those people that are a true school bus driver. Okay some people think I am crazy and ask how I can do this. But if you show respect to the children, they will show it back. Lean a caring ear, and they will share. Show care, and you will get it back.

LOVE that necklace...off to check out her other stuff now too!
I'd have to say that my superpower is the ability to maintain some sort of sanity while my husband deploys for work (Navy). He's gone for months on end, but the house stays standing, the kids stay healthy (mostly), bathed and fed & all the bills get paid too!!
Thanks for the contest!

I would have to say my "superpower" ability to adjust to changes. When circumstances and life changes, I adapt to make the best of (most) every situation. In my field of education, this is no small feat. The ability to change and adapt to the needs of students is essential in teaching, and sadly many teachers lack that ability.

Mu hubby would say my superpower is being an awesome wife! He tells me that a lot! Love him for it too. I think one of my superpowers would be my scrapping skills and the ability to preserve our memories! Thanks for the giveaway! This jewelry is beautiful!

Hi Ali, my superpower is making holidays and events extra special and making kids feel like there is magic involved. It is something I feel passionately about. Thanks Ali!

My super power is that I can power through the tough times. My dad died unexpectedly in October. He was 66. I was able to "keep it together" so I could plan the funeral, write the obituary and make a photo collage for the service. I am very proud of that.

My superpower is teaching children to read. I teach 6th and 8th grade struggling readers. I use my powers everyday to convince these kids that they are smart and that they CAN be successful!

Hi Ali

What a beautiful and colorful necklace. I am the superhero of stain removal. When my kids explore their creative sides with paint, sauce, mud...whatever it may be, they have no worry because my super powers are so powerful I can get ANY stain out! :)
Ok, so it might not be that sentimental, but my kids never worry about getting in trouble for messing up their clothes...

taking an idea or thought that someone has shared with me and using words to make is sound like the message they were trying to get across... in the most positivee and uplifting fashion of course.

What a fun giveaway! I hope I win!
I'm an EMT with a busy ambulance service. My superpower is driving fast (and carefully) to the scene of the call. I also can start an IV that is quick and painless. :-) Which is really nice when you have a kid in your truck who is scared of needles.
Congrats on your new bundle of joy, Ali! We can't wait to meet her!

I'm a great mom and I have two wonderful grown children to prove it: I'm warm, understanding, an advocate when they need help in their life journey, tough when they need a reality check. It's about superhero committment to my most memorable creations. I adore them.
