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 next one will be 3-9. I’m thinking of getting a lot of people together at one of my favorite bars/eateries. With the kiddos we don’t get out much.

    birthday me! One of my blog friends just did a card shower for her birthday, and I think it’s a faboo idea. I love receiving mail, and I can’t think of anything more awesome than getting loads of it from friends and family for a month.

    I do love the person above who suggested a roller skating party. That sounds great too! I’d play 80s music and make people dress up in neon clothes to celebrate my 80s love of roller skating.

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    My birthday is actually this Saturday, but instead of gifts for me, I am giving my birthday away by donating to a few really worthy charities. Reece’s Rainbow is one of the organisations I have chosen. They raise funds for the international adoption of special needs children. If I win, this would be a super fabulous birthday gift for me!

    Happy Birthday, Sherry!
