***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
I’m gonna bust out some flashback lingo from YHL circa 2008: prepare to swoon. This week’s giveaway is from our lovely sponsor Jessica Rose at Vol. 25, home to some of the most charming art around. I mean, how can you not fall for these robotic lovebirds?
The great thing is that Jessica’s artwork comes in the form of prints, t-shirts, rubber stamps, mouse pads, books and even photoshop overlays (so you can add a little hand-drawn flare to a photo). And since we couldn’t even begin to pick just a few favorite items for the giveaway, Jessica’s hooking up TWO of you with $50 gift cards towards anything in her shop (plus there’s a discount awaiting everyone on Thursday so stay tuned for that). Now you that know what’s up for grabs – how ’bout some more eye candy?
And here are all the contest deets:
- PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards anything from Vol. 25’s shops on Etsy or Zazzle.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with either the words “PUMP IT UP” or “TURN IT DOWN” depending on…
- BONUS QUESTION: … whether you love a loud and lively lifestyle or you prefer to keep things quiet and peaceful. Do you feel better surrounded by lots of activity, energizing music, or boisterous laughter? Or would you rather find yourself in an intimate conversation, enjoying soothing nature sounds, or quietly reading a book?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 21th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: TWO
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world! Woo to the hoo.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

TURN IT DOWN!
…..or PUMP IT UP!
It honestly depends on how I am feeling…although I lean more towards turn it down. :)
Kristin says
PUMP IT UP!
My fiance graduated last friday, so after lots of learning and writing his thesis we can finally go on planning our wedding in June!
Gracia says
PUMP IT UP! I’d rather have a quiet house and surroundings… but when summer heads this way (77F here today!) I crave upbeat music and doing things and activity and going here and there and wearing my ipod everywhere and…
Jill M says
“Pump it up” most of the time, but if I’m tired or a bit stressed, I like to “turn it down” and enjoy peace and quiet.
Jo says
TURN IT DOWN! As a single mum with 2 young children and working in child care, I definitely crave quiet time.
Carolina says
TURN IT DOWN!
While I do enjoy a big party or a night out from time to time, I definitely fall into the category of homebody. I would much rather sit on the couch next to the Husb and read a book or watch a movie than go out and party all the time. And I definitely enjoy more intimate, one on one, conversations than trying to talk to 15 different people at once.

TURN IT DOWN (mostly)!
For the most part I like to be busy at all times but I don’t need to be loud to do it (but sometimes I like the hustle & bustle)
Nadia says
PUMP IT UP!
Got to get the most from life!
Carrie says
Turn it down!
GAH! These are so cute and right up my alley! I love sitting in quiet house with a great book. The older I get,the more I enjoy the peace.
Rita says
TURN IT DOWN!
I’m tired, I’m almost 40… and I’m not more a teenager :((
A husband, a job, a child, a house… ooohhhh I have to do everything,

TURN IT DOWN!! I find that when I take some time to be quiet,my mind also quiets down and I can appreciate the small joys of everyday.
Angie says
TURN IT DOWN! So excited to see this giveaway and discount code…was already thinking of purchasing one of her prints.
Karina says
TURN IT DOWN! most of the time… and this is (like so many others) because of noisy kids, and having to run around a lot. When I get to chill out, I like some soft bluesy music and whatever I’m crocheting at the moment.
I used to be a total pump it up gal though… she still comes out to play once in a while :)
Awesome Giveaway!!
Amy S. says
PUMP IT UP!!
We just moved into a new house, in a new area, and I love that “Home is wherever you are” design. Awesome find!
Amy Johnson says
Turn it down! I MUCH prefer the quiet, for sure! With a toddler and a teenager in the house, I’m always desperate for some peace and quiet!
Amy B. says
Pump it up if I’m dancing with my baby boy, and turn it down when I’m given a choice of venue for spending my time.
Lauren Unthank says
PUMP IT UP! I like a lively lifestyle that is filled with many different things! Although, we all need a “turn it down” time to survive that lively lifestyle!
Laine says
PUMP IT…DOWN? I need a little of both sometimes….

Danielle says
Pump it up.
diana says
TURN IT DOWN!
…because I already have three noise sources, aged 11, 9 and 2 and a half!
Just discovered your blog, and among the design/do it yourself/handmade blogs it’s the closest to myself, it actually fully overlaps with my taste!
Alison says
Turn it down!
I love getting together with a small group of friends at home or at a restaurant and just enjoying a relaxing evening!

Nikki says
TURN IT DOWN!
A couple of years ago, I would have said “pump it up,” hands-down, but lately with the craziness of getting ready to move (to Richmond!) and switch jobs, I just like some nice couch time with a good book and my dog. :)
Melanie says
Turn it down!
Joless says
TURN IT DOWN…always! I love to chat with friends, read and generally enjoy peace and quiet….most of the time anyway! :-)
Jessica says
TURN IT DOWN…
Love a quiet evening in with a good book and a glass of wine.
Arielle says
PUMP IT UP, then TURN IT DOWN!
As a middle school teacher, my days are filled with lots of activity and energy and, to be honest, I like it that way. My job is definitely not boring! But, after a day full of craziness, I go into instant “Turn it Down” mode at home. I love calm, quiet nights that help me recharge to do it all again!
Lindsay says
Turn it down! Being in large groups for too long wears me out. I’d much rather hang out with a small group of friends over dinner, or do one on one coffee any day.
Erika says
PUMP UP THE VOLUME!
Family, food, games and laughter!
Lee says
I like to “PUMP IT UP” or “TURN IT DOWN” depending on the day. I do this with my workouts. Three a week hard core, then at least one yoga day with candles and zen.
MH Toth says
turn it down! great giveaway!
khaki says
today…PUMP IT UP–I need the boost!
Tiffany says
TURN IT DOWN. After a long week at work, I love a bubble bath and a good glass of wine.
megan says
PUMP IT UP. Always and forever. I feel like even when I think I want to turn it down, it doesn’t end up working….so I guess that is just life for me! Cheers to staying busy and always being thankful for the family and friends who love me no matter if I’m always running around like a chicken with no head :)
Michelle says
TURN IT DOWN…I prefer the peace and quiet that allows me to hear my own thoughts.
Kimnic says
PUMP IT UP!
I crave the sounds of a full house with lots of activity and laughter. We frequently have guests and when they leave there’s a strange quiet in the house that feels a little too empty for my liking.
