***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!

Lauren says
TURN IT DOWN!
There are two comments from teachers above me that I can see and I agree. After work with kids (teenagers, in my case) all day, I want some peace and quiet! Some nice conversation over a cup of coffee, perhaps.
This art is to die for, by the way.
Christine says
TURN IT DOWN! I enjoy the peace and quiet of a good book/movie and a cup of tea.
Jeni says
Turn it down!
A bottle of wine, my husband and two dogs is all I need for a great night!
sarah says
turn it down, time to relax!
Katie says
Turn it down! I definitely love a boisterous environment now and then, but even more I love being in nature and enjoying the sounds of rushing water, birds, wind in trees and fires crackling.
Meredith says
TURN IT DOWN
I’m an introvert…noisy places=stressful. :)
Tara says
PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN
I like to do both, depending on the mood.
TheCarolinaHousewife says
PUMP IT UP
&
TURN IT DOWN!
Sometimes I need a dance party, sometimes a little peace and quiet. :-)
Natalie says
TURN IT DOWN
I love a laid back life with my husband. Even our dinner parties are quiet and fun… more relaxing than crazy.
Cassie says
Pump it up & down ?!?!
I like a mixture. Music, but in a home feel environment :)
Plus, when I read your giveaway I was in the middle of listening to ‘Tootsie Roll’ on Grooveshark.
It has definitely helped me enjoy my Monday at work :)
Laura D. says
PUMP IT UP!
For the last 3 yrs, I’ve worked in a very small real estate office. Prior to that, I spent 10 yrs waiting tables…I love that now my days are in the “turn it down” mode but my nights are free for me to “pump it up”!
Five yrs ago, I would have said the exact opposite.
Kate Massey says
PUMP IT UP!
Love lots of laughter and activity – my life would seem strange without it. I was raised in a family of 8 and have a toddler running through the house all day long. Without noise, you never know what kind of trouble he is into! :)
KVB says
PUMP IT UP!!! But, my hubs likes to TURN IT DOWN, so we try to maintain a happy medium. :)

Becky A. says
Turn it down! I much prefer a quiet setting over a loud, busy one.
P.S.-These prints are so pretty!
Brooke says
TURN IT DOWN – I like my quiet time.
Loren says
PUMP IT UP, while I don’t really like dancing at loud dance clubs, or the neighbor in the apartment downstairs who listens to his country/classic rock tunes WAY to loud. I love rocking out to some music in the car or in my own apartment.
Elizabeth Spann says
TURN IT DOWN…
I’m busy during the day at work so I love relaxing whenever I can!
Jen says
Turn it down … with a good book
Emily says
TURN IT DOWN! I need a relaxing home to balance my exuberant personality :)
Emma says
PUMP IT UP! Pile the noise on (Too quiet at work all day)
Joanna says
PUMP IT UP
Sarah says
PUMP IT UP
I LOVE to listen to my favorite music as loud as I can on my way into work in the morning. I love to feel the beat. I’m very conservative so many people think it’s hilarious and doesn’t fit my personality!
Melissa says
“PUMP IT UP” & “TURN IT DOWN”
I’m like Tara above me, it really depends on my mood each day.
Antje says
PUMP IT UP then TURN IT DOWN
I like both. I love spending time sitting in the sun, reading a good book with no noise. But I love being around all my friends at the same time, listening to music, playing loud interactive board games or hanging out at a bar. Just depends on the time of day. ;)
Shawna says
TURN IT DOWN! I love my laid-back, relaxing lifestyle with my husband!
renee says
PUMP IT UP AND TURN IT DOWN!
i’m a reluctant extrovert. love my time with friends/family, but require that downtime (hard to get with 2 teenage boys!)
Shifra says
Turn it down!!
My favorite place these days is on my couch, with the a cup of coffee and the sun streaming in the windows. My five minute getaway!
(And I LOVE this giveaway!!)
Roseanna says
TURN IT DOWN (just a little…)I Love having people in my home, but there’s just something about opening the windows and curling up with a good book. Birds chirping, a little Coltrane playing quietly… that’s relaxation.
(Vol.25?!?! Yesssss!)
Heather says
TURN IT DOWN
I like lots of activity, but not lots of noise.
Lindsay W says
PUMP IT UP!!
I enjoy a crowded, noisy restaurant on a Saturday night. It creates chaos and excitement at the same time. I also love driving around with all the windows down and the music really loud. It puts me in a great mood!
Angie says
PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN…..depends on what is going on around me….for exercise, I like to really get into the music. However, with 4 kids, there is a definite time and place in my life for some peace and quiet!!
LOVE the artwork!!!
Jen says
PUMP IT UP!
Love to be surrounded by people.
and LOVE the pic with the house on it… *swooon!
Kerri says
PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN!
Depends on the time and place :)
Allison says
pump it up!
Amanda says
TURN IT DOWN
My boys have the market on PUMP IT UP so I like to TURN IT DOWN as much as possible.
Melissa says
PUMP IT UP! I love being surrounded by many great people with a lot going on!
Ashley says
Pump it up! I love dancing to loud music with my hubby, two-year old, and one-year old. Nothing like making a fool of yourself with the ones you love!
Sabrina says
Can I say both?? I love a mix of wild-n-crazy and quiet-n-chill. So my answer is PUMP IT UP AND TURN IT DOWN. I blasting music while cleaning the house and having my boys dance along with me. Then I enjoy going back home to visit my parents in a very rural area and listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.
ashley says
Turn it up/down! Love a mix of both…sometime quiet is nice, but I have my moments of turning it UP!
Jessica says
TURN IT DOWN! I love a good book and a mug of hot cocoa
Kerry says
Turn It Down… just a little though! I do love life to be a little loud and lively sometimes, but I find that since we bought out home, I’ve become more of a homebody & enjoy sitting back & relaxing. Brunches or tea with friends is much more appealing to me than a nightclub….
Molly says
Turn It Up! We are newly married and new home-owners! I LOVE the style of all of Jessica’s Art, and want to incorporate it into my daily life!
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome stuff!
Courtney says
PUMP IT UP…I like having new things to do, places to go, people to meet. :)
Lauren says
PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN! I am a nanny, so I love adventure, music, laughter and the hussle and bussle. BUT I do enjoy piece and quiet, a good book and an intimate conversation!
P.S. I’m new to your blog and I absolutely LOVE it! :)
Katie says
Turn it down!
I like joy, I like laughter, but these days I like QUIET joy and laughter.
Michelle says
TURN IT DOWN!
I like low key evenings best. Some good friends, some good food & some great conversation. It tends to lead to loud laughter but that’s okay :)
Lisa says
TURN IT DOWN! I much prefer quietly reading a book (or reading a few blogs on the laptop) to loud boisterous activity anyday.
Angela says
PUMP IT UP! Well, most of the time :) I mean everyone needs a break every now and then. Leave me alone for a few hours though and I’m on the go to find friends or activities again!
Liz M says
Pump it up!
