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 is the week after Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, so I’ll be satisfied if I have good memories of another happy Thanksgiving — whatever and wherever that turns out to be (last year was probably the best ever — celebrating a friend’s 60th birthday in the Napa Valley).

    For my next birthday, I just want to make an out-of-the-ordinary cake. Both my daughters have birthdays in the two weeks after mine, so I figure they’ll get the good old standard layer cake, and I can do something different.

    I’ll be 25 on my next birthday (which is freaky)and I would love nothing more than for my family to just get me a balloon. I get them all one on their birthday but have yet to receive the gift in return and balloons make everything better!

    Birthday Me!

    My birthday is October 6 and I will be turning 31 this year, too! My 30th birthday, this past October, was spent celebrating the wedding day of one of my oldest and dearest friends. When she told me that they picked my birthday, she was so scared that I would be upset with them for taking my day away from me but she couldn’t have been more wrong. I was so excited to spend my 30th surrounded by my best friends, with an open bar ;) in a pretty dress! It was one of my favorite birthdays of all time! This year, I have no expectations. I’d like to share a bottle of wine with my boyfriend of two years and just relax and relish in the fact that I’m officially in my thirties!

    Happy birthday, Sherry!

    I am just looking forward to spending a relaxing time with my family on my birthday (It is still 5 months down the line in august). Also, my son is 2 years old and has just now learned to sing the birthday song, so that would be a real treat for my birthday.

    For my next birthday I would like an ice cream cake… That I have been asking my husband for the last 3 years. I will forgive him for the previous years but only if he sings the old commercial song “ice cream and cake and ice cream and cake. Ice cream and cake and ice cream and cake!”

    Birthday Me! My birthday will be in almost exactly a year (just celebrated mine the 14th!) and I’m hoping that I’ll be with family and friends. My husband and I are 3 months into our 2nd state away from “home”, and have put goals into place to stop renting, move back home, and rehab an old farmhouse in the country – hopefully not money pit style.

    I might have a permanent smile on my face if we’re there a year from now. Time will tell :)
