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 week coincides with the week I move into my very first house, heck yea! Needless to say after decorating, buying furniture, and the normal fixes and updates I’d be happy with a home cooked meal :) but I’d enjoy the gift card too!

    Happy Birthday Sherry!
    My 40th will be in January. I don’t want a surprise party like many people have on their big 4-0. I would rather go the spa with a few of my besties and have a relaxing day…that or a relaxing vacation with friends or the hubby. With four kids relaxation time is at a premium!

    BIRTHDAY ME… For my birthday this year, we’ll be on our family vacation, so I just hope they remember it at all. Nothing fancy, just going out for breakfast or an hour to myself to catch a pedicure.

    I’m hoping my guy and I can take a small trip somewhere and just get away from the money pit of a house that often appears to be falling down around our ears. And eat some yummy food. Seriously all I want is yummy food and cake and I’ll be happy but a short trip would be a nice bonus.
