Fab Freebie: Sherry’s Birthday Wish

***This giveaway has reached its cap and is now closed – see who won below!***

You guys shut this puppy down with 10,000 entries in less than a day. Wow! So we’ve already selected our random winner. She is… Rhonda (who thinks she’s gonna ask for a juicer – to go along with her Christmas blender). Congrats!

Tomorrow is Sherry’s 31st birthday. So a few weeks ago I asked her if she wanted to do anything special giveaway-wise to celebrate. She looked dreamily towards the sky, a smile spread across her face, and she said “I want to do a Jonathan Adler giveaway and I want a picture of him holding ceramic animals and grinning like a fool. Because we are kindred spirits. That would pretty much make my year.”

A week later this photo appeared in my inbox:

Jonathan Adler Giveawy Ceramic Animals

The girl wanted a Jonathan Adler giveaway (you can read more about her love of the guy here) and the girl got it. The wonderfully cheerful people of Jonathan Adler were completely down with the idea (and the ceramic-animal-centric photo, apparently) so they’ve offered up a whopping $500 for one lucky winner to spend on whatever they’d like – animal or otherwise. Beyond obsessing over his white ceramic creatures, Sherry shares his love of poppy patterns, colorful accents, and chic accessories that don’t take themselves too seriously. So, um, happy birthday to one of you!

    BIRTHDAY ME. . . oh golly, it was just my birthday 12 days ago so this one is fresh! I celebrate my birthday all month long – so it is still technically my birthday :] It’s a family thing. . .

    My one birthday wish? A birthday cake and ALL the candles. This girl just turned 23 and since we only have to buy 1 pack of candles (sold in 24’s) I wanted to blow out every last candle. My hubby scored big with a delicious chocolate cake, and you betcha I blew out every last candle without getting too much wax on the cake :D

    Umm…this year I think that I will be asking for clothes (or money/gift cards for clothes) because, if things keep going as they are, I will be down about 50lbs by then and will be running out of clothes that fit :o) (but, really, I love clothes, so it’s not like I would be asking for them instead of something that I really want!)

    BIRTHDAY ME! I love spending my birthday with my family. My husband usually plans a few fun surprises during the day so I always look forward to that. Last year he made me breakfast and lunch and surprised me with a mani/pedi and nice dinner out (he even booked the sitter!) This year we are hoping to do some more home improvements so that might be my bday gift :)
