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! My birthday is tomorrow also. I just want to have a fun day with my sons. We are going to go do some random acts of kindness, geocaching, dinner, release sky lanterns, and eat cupcakes. Sounds like a magical day to me!

    BIRTHDAY ME!!

    My next birthday will be my last one before our first baby is born, so I want a “selfish” bday (massage maybe? pedicure? gift cards for me) because I’m pretty sure every birthday after this one will be a little less me-centric. :) (but for a really great reason – we’ll finally be parents!)

    A very happy birthday to Sherry! My birthday is coming up on April 7th and am hoping for a new bicycle, along with some good sushi with family and friends.
    I’ve been riding the same bike since I was eeeeh 14? And I’ve moved closer to a downtown area and love to ride to the grocery store and restaurants, but am a little embarassed to continue that tradition this summer on a bike that’s way too small and banana yellow.

    My husband and I are big Marvel movie fans and since my birthday is in May there is usually a new comic book movie out (lucky me!). So every year for my birthday I ask for dinner and a movie. This year we’re going to see Iron Man 3.
    Although, I would be thrilled with a table saw too!

    Birthday me!! Priorities first; Happy almost-birthday Sherry! My birthday is coming up soon, and after a crazy few months of school (6th grade teacher here), I’d just like a day with coffee in the morning, my favorite meal at night, and nothing to do in between! My parents are hinting at seeing a musical, so I guess I’d take that as well :-)
