Win It: for me, for you.
Holy crap am I excited about this giveaway! Kate and I started talking about this a few months before her new shop was even up and running. And now the day is finally here and I’m thrilled – thrilled I tell you – to announce this week’s giveaway from for me, for you! Lovely and awesome Kate is giving away a digital print of the massively cool I Employ Magical Thinking to one of you lucky ducks!
To Enter:
1. If you had a superpower what would it be?
2. Leave your name, a last initial and your email address. (Unfortunately, those who do not will be automatically disqualified.)
So let’s hear ’em! Can you fly? Are you invisible? Or is it something miles cooler that we’ve never even thought of? A random winner will be announced shortly after the contest ends. Good luck and check out Kate’s blog of the same name – for me, for you – in the meantime!

June 8, 2009 at 5:59 pmMy superpower would be the ability to immediately bring a smile to someone's face and lift their moods! That way everyone I could even think of would be quite happy.

June 8, 2009 at 6:01 pmTeleportation would be the best power to have for sure! Jenni already mentioned it but I think it simply be the most useful power ever.
I recently went to an out of town camping tournament, and having this power would surely have saved me some headaches and repeat purchases!
Good luck to everyone!

June 8, 2009 at 6:16 pmI would have the ability to fly, so I could migrate to Mexico like the monarch butterflies and also so I can wave to people on planes and hang out in the clouds. I would love that so much! 😀

June 8, 2009 at 7:23 pmI forgot to leave my email address so I will try it again.
First of all – awesome giveaway! Now onto my superpower. I think it would be the ability to breathe underwater. I should have been born a fish or at least some sort of water dwelling creature.

June 8, 2009 at 7:54 pmThis is a tough question. I think at this moment I would pick my superpower to be cure sickness. I am never a fan of being sick or watching others not be well. I think I would want to eradicate sickness so I think I would make that my superpower!
Sage O. – luminarycrafts@gmail.com
Danielle
June 8, 2009 at 8:12 pmI'd want the power to be someone else, anyone else, for a short period of time. Everyone is so different and amazing. I would love to gain the perspectives of people of different cultures, gender, ages, etc. :o)
Or I'd like to be able to teleport. Hehe.

June 8, 2009 at 8:18 pmIf I had a superpower, as lame as this is, it would be to move around large, heavy objects with my hands. Specifically, I would be able to scoot poorly parked cars backward or forward so that they are no longer taking up too much room.
I work in a neighborhood with very little free parking. Many people take up another half a spot with their poorly parallel-parked cars and a bunch of good spots are wasted every day. It drives me crazy! I want to just shoosh them all together and free up that wasted space.
Thanks!

June 8, 2009 at 8:54 pmI think my magical super power would be to be able to hold my breath for long periods of time and to swim without getting tired, so I could swim the seas with whales and dolphins. Great question!

If I could have any super power in the whole entire world- it would be to overcome fear! If I could be fearless, I could accomplish anything, and protect everyone, and make all my dreams come true..

June 8, 2009 at 11:55 pmlong long ago when i was a little girl, i used to read archie comics. in one of them veronica had this headband she'd put on…. and while she was wearing it she could imagine herself in any outfit and it would instantaneously appear on her body. i was only like 7 and i thought that was awesome – to this day i still do & whenever someone asks me what superpower i'd have, i always name something along the lines of that. it would also be awesome to fly.

June 9, 2009 at 1:23 amI have always said that I wanted the power to teleport. Travel is the thing I want most to do and have the least opportunity to accomplish. I like Jenni's idea that if we hug someone while teleporting they can come too 🙂 First stop: Paris, second stop: Venice, third stop: Australia… this is fun! (Also, with this power, I could move somewhere else and still see my friends and family regularly!)

June 9, 2009 at 1:33 amIt's after the cutoff time, but I just had to post an answer.
If I could have a superpower, I would definitely be able to manipulate the weather.
There are just some times when you crave a rainy day, or you NEED that sunshine to bring back some optimism. My moods tend to run with the weather, as do others.
and I've never seen snow. 😀

June 9, 2009 at 2:06 amIf I had a superpower I would want to make dogs stop barking telepathically – my chihuahuas bark at anything that moves in the summer making it impossible to read a magazine in the yard and chill with them at the same time!

Captain Dumbass
June 9, 2009 at 4:18 amTeleportation has been picked too many times, so I'll have to go with the ability to eat or drink anything without the the annoying side effects of cholesterol, trans-fats or… you know, bad stuff.

I would be able to fly. Perhaps it's unoriginal in these times – we have several flying superheros now-a-day. But I don't care. It's classic. And sometimes I really REALLY want to see the ocean (ummm..I live in the desert)
rachel
June 9, 2009 at 1:39 pmFirst time seeing your blog…all the cute stuff makes me smile =) So, if I had a super magical power… it's probably redundant, but, I'd want the ability to open portals to travel into different places/worlds/universes, so that, you know, if I felt like flying one day *BAM!* i'd open up a portal and walk into a world were you can fly…or where animals can talk…or where Atlantis exists..or even a portal back in time…or do that whole Jodie Foster wormhole traveling like in "Contact"….or any world/place/universe of my making. Right now I'd open up a portal where I can be in the Bahamas tanning and sipping on some rum punch…with Edward Cullen, cause he'd exist in that world.

June 9, 2009 at 2:38 pmSuch a great question!
If I could have one superpower, I would want a Ctrl+Z shortcut for life. Like when you lock your keys in your car, just push ctrl + z (or command + z for Mac users) and it undoes the act. Think how much easier life would be!

June 9, 2009 at 2:47 pmMy super power would be to ascertain others' super powers and immediately conjure up the ways of defending/combating said super power (oh no, not just any old Peter-Petrelli-obtain-said-power, just defense of same)
🙂

Beth D.
June 9, 2009 at 3:23 pmI would be able to live without breathing! Imagine it – you could swim underwater forever, escape noxious gasses and when people crop dust the place (i.e. leave their scent) you could just stop breathing!

June 9, 2009 at 4:11 pmFun contest! I'd love the power to feel exactly what another person feels at any given moment in time. An emotional sponge, so to speak. I know that's not a typical superpower wish, and it certainly won't bring solely pleasure, but empathy is a valuable skill that I'm always trying to cultivate as both a writer and a person.

Thanks!

June 9, 2009 at 10:48 pmFirst, I love this print and hope to win!
Second, my superpower! I would want to ability of transmutation (turning something into something else). This would be especially handy in terms of design and fashion. In a snap! my canvas tote would transform into that suede phillip lim bag I've wanted all year.

June 11, 2009 at 7:06 amI think I would like to have the superpower to be able to speak all the languages in the world – I would be able to have conversations with anyone, I would get to know a lot about other countries and cultures, it would facilitate travelling a lot, and it would impress people for sure.

June 12, 2009 at 12:59 pmimagine standing in a place and being able to call up the history of that place at will. closing eyes tightly, watching snippets of its history playing out like cinema.
I think this layer would make the world become so rich and inspiring. I would also have the ability to transfer the images to a screen by touching it; think of the blog it would create !
