*** 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! I am teaching my 16 year old son how to drive! His second day of driving, he hit a tree next to our driveway. Haha! No damage to either tree or car, and I couldn’t stop laughing at his expression when he hit it!
Ashley says
EDGE ME! I have to say I have a safe life. I would love to live more on the edge though!
Abby says
EDGE ME! My favorite “living on the edge” moment was last year when I was studying abroad in Turkey. The school where my group was working wanted to host a send off party for us, and the principal spent all morning cooking this dish that is considered a luxury for them. Not wanting to be rude, I ate two of them. Want to know what this dish was? Essentially, raw hamburger meat that’s been ground by hand with rice and lemon juice for a few hours. Supposedly the heat from the hands and the juice “cook it” but it was definitely my biggest “you are officially crazy” moment.
Chris says
EDGE ME!
Living on the edge for us is considering purchasing 5-10 acres to start an orchard and cider business.
Gwen says
Edge me! I don’t regularly live on the edge, but I have been skydiving, white water rafting, and zip-lining!
Bree says
EDGE ME!
I’m an Irish dance teacher- it doesn’t get any more edgy than that. ;)
Brianna says
Edge me! I would like to say I live on the edge but to be honest, I play it pretty safe due to my 4 kids and the responsibility that entails… However, if I could, I would book a 2 month trip tomorrow and do some traveling! (and maybe even try some crazy food)
Becky Bridge says
EDGE ME!!! Oohh…I really hope I win this–I’ve been wanting to stencil my bedroom wall for a long time, and this would give me the push to get it done!
Living on the edge here in Indiana. Let’s see…well, I don’t always put on bug repellant when I venture out in my yard at night. That might be all I’ve got.
Taylor says

EDGE ME!
I have a lot of tattoos, does that count? lol My mom would say it was edge-y. I have a sleeve on my right arm and I started a half sleeve on my left arm this afternoon.
Jenny F. says
EDGE ME!! Living life on the edge for us means a lot of scary house renovation decisions – one after the other – but before we were home owners, we did enjoy a little skydiving. :)
Caroline F says
Edge me!
Hmm.. this past summer I got married/ bought a house/ started grad school/ began teaching Kindergarten… all within two months of one another. And the edgiest part of that, by far, is the Kindergarten part!
Michelle JC says
EDGE ME! I actually got my haircut from the long hair I’ve always hat to an edgy pixie cut :)
Michelle says
EDGE ME! The “edgist” thing about me is probably my nails, I love experimenting. Sometimes they come out a little crazy but who cares! There is always nail polish remover. ;)
Tiernan says
Edge me!
Not a very perilous edge, but I smile at people while walking around my new hometown of Washington, DC. A surprising number of people smile back!
Leigh Ann says
EDGE ME!
I drive way too fast… but I don’t live too much on the edge, because I feel guilty about it (but still can’t stop, somehow!)
Emily says
Edge Me! Love your site.
Meg Smith says
EDGE ME!

Edge me! My husband I just ordered Avocado couches for our new house. The stencil on the upper left would be so perfect in our mid century modern house, I can’t even stand it!!!!
Nicole says
Edge me! I usually play it pretty safe, but I did just take the plunge into starting a new job!
Kalyn Mace-Guilloux says
EDGE ME! I love white water rafting and canoeing :)
Alison says
EDGE ME!!
Um… I think the riskiest thing I’ve done lately is sign up for a bootcamp because it really involves challenging myself physically each day.
Katie says
Edge me!
Last month I made meringues on a rainy day. Life on the edge!
Jen says
EDGE ME!
I am not spontaneous by any means…to me, living on the edge is ordering a piece of furniture online. Everybody stand back!
Elise says
EDGE ME!
Jessica says
Edge me!
I can’t remember the last time I did something even remotely edgy…
Becca says
Edge Me!
I live on the edge when I travel…usually to places off the beaten track doing fun things (riding an elephant? Yes, Please!)
Emily says
EDGE ME!
I live on the edge by procrastinating! I procrastinate doing homework for my masters classes. I procrastinate doing house work when guests are coming. I procrastinate everything! Living on the edge by pushing the limits of time. ;) Haha!
Caroline says
EDGE ME!
When my husband’s Iraq deployment was extended a few years ago I ran a half marathon, jumped in the ocean in Barrow, Alaska, and went skydiving all in about a week. Now that I’m a mom, I’ve toned it down and leave the craziness my husband, who jumps out of planes and helicopters all the time.
Bea says
Edge me! I have my eyes on another stencil–that’s pretty crazy for me!
Kiki says
EDGE ME! Sometimes I stay up late the night before a huge midterm/final. Obviously, I’m not the thrill-seeking adventurous type. Thanks for the giveaway!
Tiff says
EDGE ME
…hmm, don’t do many things on the edge, prefer to stay alive at this time : )
The most edgy thing I’ve done is bungee jump.
Jill says
“EDGE ME!”
Surviving my three sons!
Hannah says
Edge Me! The edgiest thing I’ve done so far is give birth to my daughter with no pain medication! Talk about a wild ride! So worth it though. = )
Eliza says
Edge me. Living on the edge for me is taking a 12 hr plane ride with my 4 month old.
Lauren R. says
Edge me!
I live on the edge by buying our first house this week–yikes!
caitlin says
Edge Me!
Crystal says
“EDGE ME!” Taking a Zumba class? That’s as edgy as I’ve gotten lately.
Sonya says
Edge Me! I go rock climbing, so I’m occasionally hanging out on an edge or two (securely tied to something usually) but other than that, living on the edge means I’ve stayed up past 11:00 to watch a second episode of Weeds or Modern Family!

Ashley says
Edge Me!
Callie says
Edge me! Most of my adventures have to do with climbing mountains and backpacking :)
Lauren says
Edge me! I really don’t live on the edge, especially since becoming a wife and mom. Maybe having 2 glasses of wine

EDGE ME….these days…putting a little spritzer in my wine!! boring!!! these stencils would probably push me to the limit!!
Elizabeth says
EDGE ME!
Sarah says
Edge me…I live on the edge by living in tornado alley. Wahoo.

Doing something design daring on my bland white wall would be living on the edge for me!
Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews says
Edge me! I live a pretty basic life and nothing too crazy. Just try to have fun and live life to the fullest.
