*** 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.
Kate says
EDGE ME! I am living on the edge if I go out during the work week :)
Ashley says
EDGE ME! Returning library books past their due date is about as edgy as I get :)
Kristy says
Edge me! Riding in a hot air balloon.
Gina says
Edge me! The most on the edge thing I’ve done recently is went skydiving. It was amazing! Would do it again in a heartbeat!
Karen says
Edge me! Hmm, I’m not going too much living on the edge these days (I’m 7 months pregnant) but I suppose becoming a new parent in just a couple months will be thrilling!
Eli S. says
EDGE ME!
Jessica in WI says
EDGE ME!! I regularly let the gas guage in my little Toyota Corolla hit E, knowing full well she would NEVER run out of gas on me. My family thinks I am crazy and somewhat foolish, but she has never let me down and that’s just how I roll. On the edge of empty.
Krista says
Edge me!
Abby E says
EDGE ME! To my husband, living life on the edge means riding his motorcycle for hours (though maybe that’s more on the edge to me than it is to him). For me, living life on the edge is taking a break from planning and just letting life happen for a day or a weekend. It’s hard and also incredibly liberating.
amy says
Edge me!
Haley W. says
Edge me!
Lee says
EDGE ME! The closest I get is probably traveling to a country I’ve never been to before where I don’t speak the language and don’t know anyone.
Stacy says
EDGE ME! My life is pretty safe, but I live on the edge by shopping for homes on the realty websites and remodeling them in my mind! It is easy to dream big when you don’t actually have to spend the money!
TamaraR says
Edge me!
Melissa says
Edge me! Decorating risks all the time with DIY!
Emily says
Edge me! I used to live an exciting and crazy life, now I live on the edge by not having a change of clothes for my 3 month old in the diaper bag at all times. She has some explosive poops.
M.C. Sommers says
Edge me! I think your idea about dessert is about as close to the edge as my life gets.
Alishia says
Edge me!!
Jennifer a says
EDGE ME! Confession time! I am soooo not a risk taker in daily life- I like I stay safe! But i like o take chances with decorating, so a stencil would be fantastic! Thanks for the chance!!
Zauna says
EDGE ME! I’m not a very edgey girl but would like to try skydiving . . . someday.
Janie says
EDGE ME!
Urban Wife says
EDGE ME!
Ziplining in the Costa Rican jungle is prob my #1 so far. I’m looking forward to skydiving/parasailing/hot air ballooning!
Claire says
EDGE ME! Since having a baby last July, living on the edge is pretty mug nonexistent. Closest we come, is taking our baby out past her bedtime.
L says
EDGE ME…I like adrenaline rushes, but these days I find myself pregnant and unable to participate in some of the crazy stuff I used to do. Now, I will reach for a fully caffeinated Coke when I want to live life on the edge ;)
Kathy Z says
EDGE ME!
I haven’t done much on the edge lately, but last summer I did go canoeing at 35 weeks preganant and tent camping at 36 weeks pregnant.
Valerie @ makingitworthy.com says
Edge me!
not very edgy here…unless you count being pregnant. :)
Clara says
“EDGE ME!” I live life on the edge when I tend to my vegitable garden. Hoping that I don’t kill them!!
Felicity says
EDGE ME!
Probably the most on-the-edge thing I ever do is jaywalk in NYC, but hey, that’s dangerous, right??
Mel M! says
Edge me! Stenciling a wall in my house would be “living on the edge” for me ;-)
Allyson M says
Edge me!
Let’s see- the most edgy thing I’ve done in a long time is.. gosh, I think it’s been a long time since I’ve done anything edgy!! Time to do something daring, I think! :)
Molly says
EDGE ME!
My boyfriend and I don’t give traditional gifts, we tend to like adventures instead of things. Some of these have included ziplining, rock climbing, white water rafting, snorkeling and SKY DIVING! I up for anything except bungee jumping.
DEB C says
EDGE ME!
Theresa M says
Edge me! Climbing Dunn’s Rivers Falls in Jamaica. Right up the middle – scariest and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done on the edge!
Rachel says
Edge Me! I’ve been trying out new recipes lately… it’s bold and daring!
Jess says
EDGE ME! Uh….I can’t think of anything edgeriffic today! I’m a loser! (But I’m hoping this contest makes me a winner!)
Kylie says
Edge me! We are considering putting an addition on our house.. and doing about 75% of it ourselves!!
Kelly says
EDGE ME!!
Katie says
Edge Me!
I will be living life on a perceived edge this summer when a roadtrip vacation takes my boyfriend and I camping in northern Montana….trying to will myself not to google bear attacks in campgrounds
Jenn says
Edge Me!
We’re not edgy at all, but we’re “different”, homeschooling, hubby started his own business, left the ‘burbs for 7 acres in the country where we now own chickens and a garden and a compost pile and hope to add some sheep or a goat.
Radhika Paruchuri says
Edge Me! Do venture into adventures often. Once we hicked over 3 miles each way (down the hill and up the hill) from our resort to a store in a snow blizard to get milk and bread for our kids. We started late afternoon and when we where heading back, it got really dark and had no energy to walk up the hill and then came a guy (like god send) on ATV and gave us the ride back to our cabin. never forget that!
Jodee says
Edge Me! I live on the edge when I stay up past my “bedtime” catching up on tv on the weekends. This is esp living on the edge for me because my two kiddos wake up at about 5 am eveyday lol.
Kathy says
EDGE ME! I guess vacationing to “off the beaten path” destinations is the most on the edge thing I do.
jennypenny says
Edge me!
Chrissy says
Edge Me! Um, does snowboarding count? Even after a dislocated shoulder from getting off a chairlift 6 year ago, I still go out and do it with my kids and hubby every winter. That’s as close to the edge as I get. Can’t say the same for mountain biking. I retired from that 3 years ago after dislocating my shoulder in a race (where I was the only woman-bummer, would have won that if I could have finished!).
Caitlynne says
Edge me! We like our life pretty far away from the edge…
Nina says
EDGE ME!
I drive on fumes when I have no time to stop for gas during busy weeks. I know, I’m horrible!
Joy says
EDGE ME!
I just turned 28 and I can’t think of anything I’ve done ‘on the edge’ since college…hmm, maybe I need to plan a little adventure!
Liz S. says
Edge Me! No living on the edge lately…maybe later! :)
Dianna Gonzalez says
EDGE ME!
I have a 2 year old. Everything feels like it is on the edge!
Elizabeth says
EDGE ME!
Not much living on the edge here, although I did stay up to midnight a few nights ago. :)
