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 had to enter because tomorrow is my baby girl’s 3rd birthday! I didn’t realize she shared a birthday with Sherry! Anyway for my next birthday, I’m turning 30, so it’d be super fun to have a big birthday party with everyone I love. Probably won’t happen though thanks to my lovely December birth date!

    Birthday me! Can I write about my mom’s birthday instead? It’s in just a few weeks, and I’m going to make her this awesome super-fancy cake. She loves this cake but it requires a kitchenaid mixer to make and I don’t have one…for the first time this year I’m able to borrow one from a friend! I’m pretty psyched…momma loves that cake! :-)

    Birthday me! I’m currently a first-year law student, and this year my birthday fell on the very first day of our fall semester final exams…not the most fun way to celebrate! so next year I’m hoping that it will fall on a reading day so I can take a study break to enjoy ice cream and cake, plus maybe some law-casebook-free fun with friends!
