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!

    I would love to take a trip on my next birthday! It’s right in the middle of the Fall, with no holidays before or after, so I never get to add-on to holiday hours and take a vacation. Preferably to the seaside, but I wouldn’t be too picky :)

    Birthday me! … I would love on my next birthday to receive 10 minutes of tickling from my boyfriend. I go crazy for being softly tickled – anywhere. It’s my version of some peoples’ love of having their head scratched or stroked. But it gets too boring for him, so it’s difficult to get him to do it for very long. That is my wish. And I’m not gonna forget this time! I always forget to ask for tickling when it comes time for a present.

    My birthday is two weeks away today, and the absolute best gift ever would be for my boyfriend to get a new job by then. He was laid off several months ago after a really tough year and this is so hard on us both.

    BIRTHDAY ME

    Well, if we’re riding along on this “Jonathan Adler looking geeked-up holding ceramic animals” dream… then I’d have to go all big and dream for a recurring role on The Big Bang Theory. I’m short like Bernadette (and frankly, most of the cast) so I’d fit right in (and not take up much room). Go big or go home.
