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 falls near 9/11. So since 2001, I’ve had some pretty awful birthdays. These days I’m happy to be surrounded by friends, family and cake. Really, just cake would be enough.

    I just turned 40 and I made three goals for myself. Lose 10 lbs, run in a 5k, and finish my bathroom remodel. Check, Check, & Check. This year I’d like a laid back day with my hubby & kiddo.

    Birthday Me! A night with my family sounds great. And a pie. My daughter’s birthday is the day before mine so I’m usually over cake by the time by day rolls around so a key lime pie would be lovely.

    For my next birthday, I’d like to celebrate with family and friends, and perhaps win the PowerBall so I can retire and redo my house… but seriously, I’d like to redo my studio/office: new paint, perhaps a rug, a new table/desk/chair, and frames for the art I have but haven’t hung up on the walls!

    BIRTHDAY ME! Hmmm…I’m not big on birthday presents. I usually wish for something very practical, like something for our house. My dream for my next birthday would be a baby grand piano, though. I love playing the piano and finally have a house big enough to house one.
