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 next birthday is going to be a BIG one: 4-0! I’d love to do something special to mark the occasion. Mah man will hit this same milestone in 2 weeks, and I’ve been doing some serious plotting for his birthday. So here’s hoping he spends the next 5 months being as sneaky and mischievous while planning mine. ;-)

    My husband’s birthday is tomorrow and since we are re-doing a house right now, this would be a wonderful present for the both of us. I would get money to spend on fun decorating stuff and he wouldn’t have to worry about paying for it! Hehe!

    My birthday is 3 days before my anniversary and always around the time of my husband’s family reunion. The birthday (and anniversary) always gets lost in the shuffle so I’d would just like a simple cake and happy birthday wishes.

I’d like to have a relaxing day, no work or grading, a great run on some trails with my husband, fun with my kids, lunch with my friend, and a great dinner with my husband and kids with wonderful cake that I made myself, because I like baking. No presents needed if I could have that!
