*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
We’ve got two names to announce as the random winners this week and they are… Eileen Marie (who lives on the edge by teaching on the “mean streets of Chicago”) and Kristin M (who is the mom to a “crazy 2 year old” – which is a life on the edge that we can relate to). Congrats ladies! And for everyone else, Cutting Edge Stencils added a 20% discount code – YHL20 – that’s good through Sunday. Sweet!
Who wants to jump on the wall stencil bandwagon with us (remember when Sherry spent 14 hours stenciling our office last October? Well how does a $50 nudge sound? Because the folks at Cutting Edge Stencils are gonna give two of you a gift card that’ll cover just about any stencil in their catalog – from florals and geometrics to damasks and graphic shapes. They’ve even got a new collection of stencils created by Design Star winner Kim Myles (we especially love her gingko leaf design on the right). And is the one on the top left giving anyone else Jeff Lewis vibes?
- PRIZE: $50 to Cutting Edge Stencils
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “EDGE ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … how you live life on the edge. I ask this somewhat sarcastically since life on the edge for us usually includes eating a second dessert or negotiating a good yard sale deal. But if you’ve really done (or regularly do) something thrilling or outrageous, we’d love to hear about it.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 6th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
- DISCOUNT: 20% off with code YHL20 through 6/17
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Cutting Edge Stencils.
Bonnie Morscher says
EDGE ME! I love that Gingko leaf stencil! I don’t live on the edge any more, but drove a bright blue Vespa scooter for 8 years.
Lyndsey says
EDGE ME!
And your bonus question is making me realize how boring I really am…. :)
Manny says
Edge Me! Getting married at 20 years old seemed very edgy to a lot of people but we’re happy and that’s what counts!
Helene says
EDGE ME!
Um…the closest I come to the edge of anything is the edge of my bed because my husband and dog are bed hogs.
Jayme says
EDGE ME!
I work a desk job and have two small children, so the riskiest thing I’ve done lately is fly in an airplane. Seriously, flying with kids? Total adrenaline rush.
mamawass says
Edge me! I’m currently pregnant, so I’m trying to keep both feet on the ground for my and squirt’s safety :)
Angela N says
EDGE ME!
I am not a big risk taker. I don’t even like to gamble! I would rather spend the money on a nice spa day. lol
Dani says
EDGE ME!
Caffeine after 1:00pm… that is dangerous.
sarah @ sarah learns says
EDGE ME!
Samantha says
EDGE ME!
By spending my tax return on something I truly want each year! :)
Kris says
EDGE ME! I travel with my baby a lot – which is always kind of like living life on the edge. At 18 months he’s probably been on 15-20 airplanes! The frequent flying might stop in 6 months though when we’d have to buy him a ticket!
Ashley says
EDGE ME! :)
Melissa H says
EDGE ME!
cristina says
“Edge me” my idea of living life on the edge is taking a “sick” day when im not.
Carolyn says
“EDGE ME!” … I’ve calmed down a lot in my 30s, but I used to do a lot of crazy things when I was in high school, college and my 20s.
Gina H. says
Edge me!
Stenciling a wall is living on the edge for me!
Lisa says
EDGE ME!
Living on the edge was zip lining in Hawaii last May. Nothing too adventurous since…
Stacy says
EDGE ME!
The boyfriend and I did stay up REALLY late and sing duets on RockBand Saturday. Staying up past midnight is edgy right?
Laurel S. says
EDGE ME! It used to be things like skydiving and travelling to places like Mongolia and Mali. Now it’s successfully making pulled pork or convincing my 4-year-old to wear a coordinating outfit :).
Deborah says
EDGE ME!
Christie says
EDGE ME!
The hubs and I like to be adventurous on vacation. On our last vacation we went ATVing in the jungles of Cozumel. The mosquitoes ate us alive! LOL
Amanda says
Edge Me!
I’m definitely not very cutting edge – I recently potty-trained a toddler and nursed a newborn at the same time how’s that for living on the edge?!
Jen C says
Edge Me! I’m not at all a risk taker.
Em says
EDGE ME :D
eating a spicy curry is probably as far as living life on the edge goes for me! (and wanting to stencil some walls of course ;D)
Anna says
Edge me! I tend to shy away from things that are too risky, but on my honeymoon I climbed up archaeological stairs to the top of a Mayan ruin…talk about living on the edge…the “stairs” had no safety structure around them and backed up to a cliff. Yikes!
Linden says
EDGE ME! Since I’m 7 months pregnant, I’m not really living “on the edge” anymore… but in the past I’d say paragliding in New Zealand topped the list. One short lesson and I was running off a cliff and hoping that my instructor had taught me well. It was amazing and so worth it!
carmen @ life blessons says
EDGE ME! Not sure how I live life on the edge, maybe trying out new projects with power tools? That sure can be dangerous sometimes! :)
Erin says
EGDE ME!
Stephanie says
EDGE ME!
I have the perfect wall in my office to stencil. I can’t wait to start!
Lou says
EDGE ME! I live life on the edge by attempting projects way beyond my skill set, like things that involve plumbing. I’m a software developer, so I walk blindly into these projects and SOMEHOW I always seem to make it through.
kim says
edge me!
7 weeks til baby #2 and all we have in her room is a changing table and most of the Christmas decorations.
Erin says
“EDGE ME!”
I keep my life as far from the edge as possible. Trying a new food or restaurant is about as far on the edge as I go!
Dawn says
EDGE ME! I have two teenagers – negotiating with them keeps me “on edge” every minute!
Holly says
EDGE ME!
For us it seems that life on the edge means being away from our house past 8pm. We’re exciting I tell ya’
melissa m says
EDGE ME!
The closest I get to living on the edge is esperimenting with new recipes in the kitchen and splurging on the occasional second desert. :)
Leslie says
EDGE ME!
Dare I stencil the ceiling??
Sheila says
EDGE ME.. I do not live on the edge…not even close but thats ok.. I like it that way :)
Sharon says
EDGE ME! My living on the edge sounds about like yours…what with being 31 and having a 1.5 year old! But I love it. I did just drive for three days across the US, pretty edgy to me!
Pam B says
Edge Me!
hmmm…we don’t really live life on the edge either.. We did put an offer on our house after having looked at it for about 5 minutes on a lunch break from work.
Megan says
EDGE ME!
I think my job is pretty edgy–I’m a criminal prosecutor in a special victims unit. Totally law and order (I wish). Other than that I try to keep my life drama free.
Julie says
EDGE ME!
Powerpuff says
EDGE ME!
Kate Ediger says
EDGE ME! I’m pretty safe, unless it’s for a photo. Then all bets are off. Proof being emailed now.
Melissa Porter says
EDGE ME!
Yesterday a snake fell into one of our window wells (next project= window well covers). My fiance jumped down into the “snake pit”, put the snake in a bucket and relocated it. Given my fear of snakes, the fact that I watched from the sidelines was seriously livin’ on the edge.
Katie V says
Edge me! I haven’t done anything edgy in a long time. Dude, I need to get on that already! ;)
Katie says
EDGE ME, PLEASE! Giving up a full-time job to become a SAHM is probably the closest I’ve come to living on the edge. But huge life changes bring huge rewards :)
Jen says
Edge me! Life on the edge? Painting a room without painting a swatch first. oooOOOOoooo. :)
Bethany says
Edge me!
I’m going to live on the edge this summer and backpack around Europe! So excited/terrified!
Cassie Z says
EDGE ME! My lifestyle isn’t particularly risky, but I have been sky diving which many people consider dangerous… but it was so worth it!
Mrs. Le Brell says
Edge Me!
Living on the edge for me is going grocery shopping without a meal plan for the week =0)
