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!

    I’d love to take a spluge-y trip with my husband and toddler! While we’ve been trying to save money and be responsible parents, it’d be absolutely thrilling to think about going to Europe or Asia! I’d love, love, love to have those memories of such a wonderful experience with my family.

    PS: Happy birthday, Sherry!

    “BIRTHDAY ME”

    What do I really want? Hmmm, a few million dollars? A genie to appear and tell me that at my next birthday (29) I will stop aging but continue to have one day a year when everyone does things, MY way?

    What I expect to actually receive for my birthday? A Pug and a slobbery English Mastiff jumping onto the bed with my husbands encouragement saying “tell mum it’s time for a walk”!.

    BIRTHDAY ME!!

    May is a busy month for us with my birthday, Mother’s Day, Daughter’s birthday, and our anniversay all happening around the same time. So usually all I want for my birthday is a meaningful handwritten card (although sometimes my husband will get me something, like the awesome insulated mug from last year). For my birthday this year I am having a party… for my two year old :-)

    For my birthday, I’d love to have a nice little family get together in our backyard. It would be wonderful if our backyard was fixed up by then! We have ’til August! I’m thinking new fence, updated patio, painted shed, and some nice flowers.
