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!

    My birthday was last week and I celebrated the day with my hub and children. It was nice, I didn’t have any special wishes, but I got an I pad as a present! Not bad at all!

    My birthday was on the 5th! My wonderful husband got me a gift card to a local nursery and dug holes for me the whole month. Lots of plants, a more beautiful back yard, and an awesome hubby what more could a girl want….Jonathan Adler of course!

    Happy Birthday Sherry.

    Birthday me! My birthday is in October, so it’s quite a ways off, but I think, in a perfect world, I would end up on the beach for the week. In the meantime, I’m going to work on losing about fifteen pounds so I can look decent in a swimsuit on that beach. lol

    If I won this amazing, super fun prize- I’d love to donate it to a local woman’s shelter. This is such a happy giveaway, it would definitely bring some cheer into some of their lives.

    Birthday me!!

    My birthday is in April. I keep going round and round about what I want. In reality I want a week off of work and a vacation away with my hubby. However, he is in medical school so that’s HIGHLY unlikely. Thinking next best thing is a girl’s night and some shopping with my mom.

    Birthday me! My husband and I are leaving the kids with the grandparents for two nights while we go away to a wedding. All I want for my birthday is that my kids are happy while we’re away. I want to have fun and enjoy that time without worrying that my daughter is at home screaming for us (which is a real possibility).

    BIRTHDAY ME! I like to spend my birthdays pretty low-key. A dinner with family is all I ask for. Oh, and because I didn’t get my nail gun last year (that I begged for), I will be dropping hints all the way through November that I still yearn for a nail gun :)

    Last year my birthday gift included your book! It was released on my big day – and was the perfect surprise from my BF!
