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’d love to just be able to sleep in as long as I want. Usually doesn’t happen though as even though my husband lets me the peanut is still loud and I wake up and then I just want to spend time with my family so I get up. I guess it is good either way in the end.

    BIRTHDAY ME!!! Just like my last birthday, all I want is to eat delicious food with only my closest few friends,but with one difference: my sister. My sister’s birthday is two days before mine, so I would really love for us to be able to be with each other next birthday. Good food, good music, good conversation.

    BIRTHDAY ME! When I turned 8, my parents gave me a chair and I was sad it wasn’t a toy. But now I’ll be turning 31 (like Sherry!) and would love one for my new house. I might take a toy too, though.

    OMG too funny that this is the contest question!!
    I will be 36 in a few weeks, and as a mother of 3 (9yrs, 2yrs & 1yr) ALL I have asked for is a night away in a hotel…
    ALONE!! hahaha!
    My hubby was excited until he realized he wasn’t coming.
    Room service, a bubble bath, maybe a movie… AHHHH!
    Perfection!!
    Nothing would make it more perfect than to add this prize to my special day… so, BIRTHDAY ME!!!
    Please!
