*** 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.
Rebecca H says
EDGE ME! I play it pretty safe…
Joy G says
Edge Me! The most on the edge thing we’ve done recently was move to a new town where we didn’t know anyone at all, hours from our families!
Becky says
EDGE ME!
I finally tried riverboarding with my husband! It was fun but hard, while I can wakeboard, I wasn’t able to get up…wahwah
What is Riverboarding??
This is My brother and husband last summer

Elise says
EDGE ME!
Not really an edgy person here. Last week I did drive somewhere I’d never been without my GPS because my husband had it in his car at work. How’s that for daring?
Christine says
EDGE ME!
My husband and I quit our jobs, went on a 5 month road trip across the country and landed ourselves in North Carolina!
Leanne says
Edge ME!
sometimes I feel like just taking 4 kids on a bike ride is living on the edge…not very exciting around here edge-wise! haha
Lani says
Edge mE!!!
I would start a home decor business…my best friend and I have it all planned out! Talk about living on the edge!! Opening a small business in this economy and working with your best friend? That’s how you spell risky…. :)
Kerry says
Edge me! I would like to make my walls a little more edgy with that stencil! :)
Nicolle says
Edge me!
Chelsea Asermely says
“EDGE ME!” Moving cross country (Connecticut to San Francisco) without ever having visiting CA before, and with no job lined up! Wow, that so does not sound like the typical me, but I did it!!!
Nicole Kidwell says
Edge me!!!
I really don’t do anything that would be considered living on the edge. Painting rooms bright colors or staying up past 10 would be living on the edge for me.:)
Katie J. says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge by trying everything at least once! :)
Michele F says
Edge ME! I went scuba diving in Mexico after ONE afternoon lesson in the hotel swimming pool. I did everything wrong once in the water, but I lived!
Erin says
Edge Me! Having 3 kids 3 years and younger leaves me living on the edge some days.
StephanieR says
EDGE ME! :) these look lovely!
Sarah says
“EDGE ME!”
Only thing that could fit into that category for me would be driving, with one of my sisters, across the country and back. Our only rules were we had to get from California to Georgia and back – we had nothing else “mapped” out. Oh and we did this in December….ahhh the life before children ;)
Morgyn says
EDGE ME!!!!!
Erin R. says
Edge me! I’m dying to stencil our entry wall, and my life has been so boring lately as we finish paying off our debt (almost done! knock on wood!) that this might be the most exciting project we’ll get to do this summer!
tricia says
EDGE ME!! living on the edge for me is staying up past 10pm. Ha, life with two kids:)
Ruth says
EDGE ME!
I like to look at the edge from a far distance
Rachel says
Edge me!
I go windsurfing on occasion with my husband. It’s pretty exhilarating, but is probably nothing compared to stencils. :)
Kathryn Good says
edge me! my 5 month old keeps my life pretty thrilling.
Justine V says
Edge me!
I have a desk job (not very thrilling), so in my spare time I play roller derby!
Kate says
EDGE ME!
I am definitely a play it safe kind of girl but I did move to a country where I knew no one and didn’t speak the language for a year… That’s as wild as I get! :)
Kathryn says
EDGE ME!
I am going to grad school in the august. I call that living closer to the edge :)
Johanna says
edge me! in a three-kid, two-job family, everyday is life on the edge!
Sara says
Edge Me! I play it safe but sometimes I can make spontaneous plans!
Ash says
EDGE ME!
I don’t think it’s very edgy, but people are always surprised that I mountain bike and snowboard. Maybe it’s because I’m a 5’2″ blonde who routinely gets asked why I’m not at high school at this hour of the day (I’m 25, btw)? ;)
Kerry says
EDGE ME!
I’m a theatre gal; singing/dancing/acting in front of a live audience is my version of living on the edge!
Amanda says
Edge me!
Having two cups of coffee instead of one….yup….very edgy! Ha!
Norma Pennycuff says
EDGE ME! I’m raising a 12 year old. I think that’s pretty edgy. Or at least should be considered right up with Xtreme sports. Every night she goes to bed happy and convinced I love her I consider my sport won.
Kendra L says
Edge me! I’m living on the edge by giving plasma regularly to afford an adventure in New Zealand :)
Kelsey T. says
“EDGE ME!”
Really…I have no idea. I tend to be pretty daring in home decor (that seems so silly to say a home blog), at least compared to most people I know. And I always love it! Thank you!
Lisa says
EDGE ME! Does living in NYC with a toddler and really hoping and praying we can stay here to raise our family despite the high cost and lack of space count as edgy?
Ryan says
Edge me! Right now trying to answer this question I feel about as exciting as a house plant… I guess I’ve got nothing to put here. Oh well.
Anne says
EDGE ME! I’m 7 months pregnant, so I guess I “live on the edge” by staying up past 9 p.m.! Hahaha.
Rachel S says
EDGE ME – hmm… I am kinda boring and like routine, but I guess living on the edge would be staying out late in Nashville for a week straight?
Meredith says
EDGE ME! I’m a crazy mother trucker… I walk down dark alleys at night.
Kidding… I’m not much of a risk taker whatsoeverrrr ;)
Holly Tremblay says
EDGE ME! I go for motorcycle rides with my dad every now and then…does that count?
Erin Rose says
EDGE ME!!
Probably driving along the edge of Glacier National Park during construction…pretty dang edgy!
Courtney says
EDGE ME!! My husband sings “living on the edge” every time we pass a Ford Edge…does that count??
julie s says
EDGE ME! we cashed out our 401K accounts and sold our newly built home last year to buy a 100-year old commerical property and start a kayak/canoe outfitter business all while running our drafting/design business and raising two boys 5 and 2….now i am dying to stencil the bedroom ceiling of my 1950s back split in something geometric.
BeckyB says
EDGE ME!
At 52, I am back in school for library science, a job that will pay half of what I earn as a nurse–I’m making up for playing it safe when I was younger!
Meredith says
EDGE MEEEE!! I walk around my house with shorts on and my cats attacks them. This happens every. single. time. THAT’S living on the edge around here….
Rhapsody says
EDGE ME!
I eat local food wherever I go, to include India, Afghanistan, and South America. Got some stomach issues from it, but it’s a great way to learn about more of the world.
Whitney Dupuis says
Edge me!
Edgy isn’t really in my vocabulary since becoming a mom. I’d say the edgiest thing I have done lately is take over driving a sailboat during lessons. Yeah, I’m hardcore.
Evan says
EDGE ME!
Laura Russell says
EDGE ME!
Maryanne B says
Edge Me!
Christa Aaron says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge by playing with electricity at work…I just wish I’d paid more attention in that circuits class in college!
