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 is that I can wiggle my right ear! My kids think it's neat but the best part is when they try to wiggle their ears and end up making funny faces. :-)

Ali...
Wow...you made us think on this one. I guess my superpower is being a mom to five kids, getting them out the door on time for school, organizing their schedules, keeping up with the laundry, making dinner before running to sporting events, etc.
I also like to organize but from the looks of our house some days, you would never guess it!
Thanks for a fun give away!

I am an organizer. I'd say that is my super power. Give me a messy cabinet and I'll get it organized.

It's really hard to consider myself a superhero...but if I had to pick something that I'm super good at, it's making people feel important. When I ask "How are you today?", I mean that I really am interested and I really want to know. When I ask "Is there anything I can do to help?", I mean that I want to help. It's not just lip service. I am sincere. And for that, I'm proud of me.

Ali,
I'd really like to win this necklace.
My superpowers are encouraging others to believe in themselves and being supportive when others feel they are alone - my power is to be there for them to lean on.
Thanks.

I am very good at putting things together, toys, gas grills, furniture, bikes. It drives my husband nuts because he can't figure it out even if he does follow the instructions.

My superpower is getting my second graders to love to read. Some come in my class in Aug and don't know how to spell their name. When they leave me in May, they can read at least 35-40 words and are so proud. It's always so overwhelming at the start of the year and just so rewarding at the end.

I am great at listening to others...people stop me in the store and after five minutes tell me their life stories! I always joke that tatooed on my forehead is "TALK TO ME"!!! I teach high school, so this is a wonderful superhero power to have!!!
