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! It was just my birthday a few weeks ago and I requested that our office get painted and fun new curtains hung (it has gotten no love since we moved into our house eight months ago). It looks amazing now and I can’t wait to get our stuff organized in there.

    P.S. Happy birthday, Sherry! Hope you celebrate big time :)

    *BIRTHDAY ME* First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sherry tomorrow! The Hubs and I are three days apart so for our next birthday, my big wish would be a second honeymoon BY OURSELVES somewhere warm (January makes for freeeezing b-days). But I’d be satisfied with a Cheescake Factory red velvet cheesecake with a candle on top. ;)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I celebrated my 30th birthday at the end of January and it will be hard for 31 to top it. I got engaged just two days before my birthday while my now fiance and I were out to celebrate (or so I thought) my birthday!

    So I guess for 31, I’m just hoping to still be this happy and not too overwhelmed by planning the big day on June 1, 2014!

    BIRTHDAY ME! I’m turning 30 on my next birthday (the day after Christmas), so I’m just looking forward to being with family. Unfortunately I don’t often get to celebrate with friends on my special day, so I’m hoping I can have a small birthday party together with them sometime after the Christmas season. 30 seems like a big deal :)
