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.

Mine isn't the most useful in every day life but I bet noone else claims it. I can tell if a fruit fly (tiny things around your compost bin) is male or female with the naked eye. Blame an undergrad research project, I spent a summer sorting them under a microscope until I didn't need it any more. For anyone who wants to try it, males have hairy knees - seriously, that's what you're looking for.

My superpower is that I'm organized. I'm the one that makes sure we have milk in the fridge and make sure we don't forget the little things when we go on trips. My husband calls me the 'glue' of the family.

I would say that my superpower is my ability to really listen and be there for others.

If you asked my husband or the youth group at my church, they would say my superpower is making chocolate chip cookies!

Hi. I love these necklaces. My superpower is my mom multi-tasking ability, which I'm called on to perfrom at almost all times with 5- & 2-year-old boys!

How beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I would like to think I'm a superhero Mom and wife. I keep everything together and organized while my husband is at work. Our son is a very loving, thankful boy!

love these necklaces! my superpower might just be patience & a kid-friendly personality. :) working with hundreds of kids each week definitely requires it as a gym owner.

Superpower? Well I think I am good at listening and offering words of advice. I hate when someone is beating themself up. I like to remind them to say something positive about themselves. I believe that everything happens for a reason and you have to always look at it as the glass is half full. :) Dawn H

I make great cupcakes. What my children don't know is that one of the magic ingredients is some chocolate orange powdered cocoa that they don't like. LOL

My superpower: Comforting my son when he's hurt, sick or scared. There's noone who can make him feel better like his momma does. Oh how I love that honor...what a blessing!

I am a kindergarten teacher. I enter the room each morning with love, patience, compassion and excitement. That is my super power. No breaks, no help, just me and 23 five year olds.

My superpower would be ...to make an effort to keep in touch with people that I have been friends with since grade school. Not just holiday cards, but real life conversation. I just talked to my friend of 30+ years!

My superpower is... how do I pick just one? I am a great listener. I am a super aunt. I am a super duper bookmaker and general crafty-girl. I love these necklaces and would love to have one!

Hey Ali! What a coincidence, I just read the book Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper by SARK and she mentioned Andrea's blog in her inspiration section so I checked it out yesterday and immediately added it to my bookmarks.
I've really had to think about my superpower and besides being able to hear my son anytime of the day no matter how loud the background noise is (that always amazes my dh); I think my best superpower is my ability to keep going in the face of adversity. When I feel most like quitting and giving up, this is when I find my true strength.
Good luck everyone!

Wow her jewelry is right up my alley. I'm a huge fan of colour and I'm a big silver fan. Thanks for the chance to win one of her gorgeous necklaces.

I have lots of patience with small children; however, it does not cross over to adults.

Teaching K-2 kids, mostly "disadvantaged" kids, how to read and write. Last week, one of my non-USA born kids wrote about watching the inauguration in my class. She wants to be President when she's older! Encouraging them to dream and dream big-that's my favorite!

Hi Ali,
I am like every stay at home mom and I am awesome at multi-tasking and doing it all it seems...but I would have to say my super power has to be to be able to see the SILVER LINING in everything and deciding to be a positive person in life, sometimes it gets hard but it is a decision I have made in life and I feel a very good quality.
