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!

    My birthday is shortly after Christmas, but even though its the middle of winter, I always beg for an ice cream cake. Maybe because it seems like such a luxury somehow?

    BIRTHDAY ME!!! My next birthday kind of scares me – 35, it’s a little closer to 40. So I probably won’t want to celebrate big and instead I will be trying to forget it, haha! Jonathan Alder goodies would make it nicer!

    “BIRTHDAY ME”

    I don’t have big plans for the next couple of birthdays but I have planned my 40th on 6/25/75. Jesus I wanna gag just saying that. I want to have a big party where the DJ plays all my favorite songs from 1975 to present. Music and dancing has always made me feel young. So I wish my hopes of having a big bash come true. Happy Birthday Sherry!

    Birthday me please!!!! I swear if it were up to me I would love to spend my birthday uhwing and ahwing at a home decor store or even a thrift store, no need to even buy, just look, and feel different textures, while day dreaming of course with no interruptions. But the kids and hubs are not big fans of waiting for me to do that. So yup aren’t I a pitiful person? Lol!

    I turn 40 in a couple more months, and I’m still trying to come up with some exciting way to celebrate (in the few days sandwiched between the end of school and a convention for work). I think I’m too chicken for skydiving. . .

    BIRTHDAY ME, just had my Bday & all I wanted from my sisters was a Home Depot Gift Card. They didn’t think that sounded like “fun” so they got me a gift card from a store with lots of cute stuff. I can find lots of cute stuff @ Home Depot! It’s the thought that counts :)
