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!

    First happy birthday to Sherry! :)

    I will be 31 on my next birthday, also! I always like to get money for house/yard projects for my birthday. What can I say, it’s a sickness ;) It’s why I come here to your blog, you enablers, you!

    I am drooling over this JA giveaway. Thanks so much for hosting it. LOVE the pic of his ceramic goofiness.

    BIRTHDAY ME!!
    For my next birthday, which is coming up in June, I’d love to have a getaway with my 2 closest girlfriends – preferably somewhere beachy and fun. Also in the gift department I will be asking everyone for giftcards to Homegoods and Pier 1 because I recently moved to a bigger house and am dying to furnish and accessorize it!

    For my next birthday, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that a full bathroom reno will magically happen, as in, wake-up in the morning and I am 31 and the bathroom is brand-spankin new. Totally plausible, right?

    My big 3-0 is coming up in two months. A “Mom Car” is coming my way. Our dog, the baby and all the baby gear doesn’t quite fit in my current car. I’m still trying to convince the hubs that we don’t need a van just yet…

    Birthday Me! For my birthday, I’d like to go to Rancho Loma (http://www.rancholoma.com/) for a long, leisurely dinner. Or else eat some Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. Honestly, since there’s about a $120 difference in price, I’m guessing I’ll get the ice cream. :)

    My birthday is next month and I hope my husband takes me out on a nice dinner date. It’s 5 days before we’re scheduled to have our third baby (and first girl!) so some romantic alone time would be really nice! It’s also the day my hubby proposed 7 years ago so it’s special for that reason too!
