*** 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.

Edge me!
Rachel says
Edge Me! I am reminded of the time I took my unit of campers on a 40+ mile kayaking trip – it was a pretty crazy adventure for a college kid to be responsible for 12 high school girls in the great-outdoors in the summer heat, but it was such a fun trip!
kathie says
EDGE me! No, not her – M E !
Living on the edge? What is that? Sitting by the edge of the pool?
cappy says
EDGE ME!
I use to go backpacking in Colorado and stay overnight by myself. I guess a lot of people do this but for a young gal I thought it was pretty daring especially when it was night and all the outside noises would come alive.
Mary says
EDGE ME!
Jennifer Pittman says
EDGE ME!
suzanne says
EDGE ME! The most exciting thing I do is 8 miles over the speed limit…

Edge me! I’m deferring a full ride scholarship to grad school to do research in France!
Kristin says
EDGE ME!
I know that I say, “I like to live on the edge!” sarcastically quite often, but I’m drawing a total blank on an example at the moment.
Jessie W. says
Edge me!!!!! I live life on the safe side but we just bought a house with a pool so that seems out on the edge for me!
Katie Heitgerd says
EDGE ME!
Erin Eberstein says
EDGE ME!!!
On a daily basis, I run a environmental education program for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in Virginia! What’s crazier than spending everyday with students canoeing and learning about the bay watershed?!?!
harmony says
“EDGE ME!”
Your kidding right? The most on the edge i live is forgetting my anxiety meds at home before going shopping.
PK says
Edge me! Sometimes I pick a nail polish color that ISN’T PINK! I know. It’s crazy.
Melinda says
EDGE ME! I prefer to stay far away from the edge, thank you very much.
Blair P says
EDGE ME!
Hmm…..

Marnie says
Edge Me!
Navigating yard sells, buying things off Craigslist and getting ready to re-do my entire kitchen!
Shannon baker says
EDGE ME!
Sarah R says
Edge me!
Claire Taulbee says
EDGE ME! Our second daughter is due before our first turns 18 months! I don’t think it gets much more on the edge than that!
Mary says
EDGE ME! I am with you on the second dessert! Although some would say that going to IKEA with 4 kids 5 and under is living on the edge… :)
Angela says
Edge Me! I’ve been skydiving.
Sandra says
EDGE ME! I don’t have time to do anything exciting these days, but grad school certainly sets my teeth on edge!
Jeanna Walton says
EDGE ME! I currently need a job, and that’s about as far out on the edge that I want to deal with lately, LOL!
Kate says
As a librarian, I constantly find myself living on the edge. For example, today I unjammed the electric stapler without unplugging it first. Last night my garbage disposal tried to eat part of the sink plug and I had to fish it out with a pair of salad tongs–also without unplugging the disposal. The other month, I hung a wreath of rusty barbed wire on my wall–without gloves. Sometimes, I risk my coworkers’ approval because I dress in the dark. I think that these stencils could help up the ante on my risk taking behavior. If I won these, I would risk my mother’s approval by suggesting she use them in the bathroom she wants to stencil.
Kate says
Oh yes…and edge me.
Ashley Weatherford says
EDGE ME! Im a pretty safe person. Life on the edge for me is taking two crazy toddler boys out to dinner…you never know what will happen.
Nicole says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge by daring to gow grocery shopping alone with my four boys 5 and under. Sometimes we are just out of milk and dad’s at work lol. :) Nicole
TriciaG says
Edge me!!!! Great give away!!! Would love to give stenciling a go at my house!
meggan colombo says
EDGE ME – I live on the edge and bring my child to work…lol Hard, but still better than him in day care any day :)
Katherine says
EDGE ME!
While it’s not tight rope walking, living on the edge was painting the bathroom walls black and the ceiling ice blue {looked very chic}. So…. I’d love to play with stencils on the walls too.
Taryn says
EDGE ME! I’m pretty non-edge, I think I take some outfit risks every now and then? Maybe?
Susan says
EDGE ME! Actually, I’m about to stencil an accent wall which is incredibly daring for me. The most timely giveaway since I haven’t selected the stencil yet – fingers crossed!
Julie says
EDGE ME! Hopefully soon I’ll live on the edge by using my new stencil!
Jackie says
EDGE ME! ummmm maybe doing that rip cord thing???

Katie says
EDGE ME! The closest I get to living on the edge is starting home improvement projects when I’m not totally sure what I’m doing.
Brittany P says
EDGE ME! We live life on the edge by not having any window coverings on the right side of our house. Granted it’s only the kitchen/dining area and probably not much to look at…
Laura says
EDGE ME! I am having so much fun with Groupons lately-my husband and I have gone sailing and rock climbing, blown glass sculptures, and most recently, went “canopy cycling” along a zipline through the trees. It’s all been very cool and pretty affordable.
Ashley Rae says
EDGE ME! Definitely a play-it-safe girl. I went zip lining about 5 years ago…does that count?!
