*** 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 live on the edge by planning a wedding, getting married, buying a house, getting a masters, diying our house, and cooking dinner every night all while getting through med school.
Tiffany says
Edge Me!
I thought rock climbing, snowboarding, and rafting made me an adventurous person until I met my husband. He used to get paid to jump out of helicopters!
Fast forward- we have a new baby and our idea of living on the edge is drinking coffee past 3pm :)
braelin says
Edge me! Loving how ‘edgy’ your readers are… I have a motorcycle license (though I’ve not driven a motorcycle since I was 16 and my dad made me take the course to get my license…ha). :) Makes for good icebreakers and similar games.. people think that I’m much more of a daredevil than I really am!
Hannah says
Edge Me! I’m a volunteer EMT/Firefighter, so every so often I find myself pulling the injured out of cars, dragging hoses toward burning houses, and trying to make some peace and safety out of chaos and danger. Speaking of danger, my walls are dangerously boring. I’d love to stencil something beautiful onto them!
Lorelle says
Edge me!
My version of living on the edge is having a bowl of ice cream at midnight..lol.
Siobhan says
Edge me! Taking regular plane trips when I’m terrified of flying is me living on the edge. I was actually happy to jump out of the plane when I went skydiving, being in the plane scared me more!
Elizabeth says
EDGE ME! We feel like we live on the edge right now since I am the provide the only income while my husband it applying to med school. It is crazy to think we will probably be moving within a year but no idea where or when.
Sew View says
EDGE ME!
There are no edges in my life. Oh, wait, maybe that extra dessert thing. Yes, that’s it. Aaaaedgy.
eileen marie says
Edge me!
I teach middle school on the mean streets of Chicago. ;)
Kristen says
Edge me!
Laura says
Edge me! I just cut off over 12 inches of my hair today for a more edgy summer look. :)
Natalie says
EDGE ME! I almost always wait until my gas light is on in my car until filling up!
Allison W says
EDGE ME!
I usually don’t get too crazy close to the edge because the few times I have, I’ve gotten injured!
Now I have Aerosmith in my head…
maggie says
Edge me! I fly airplanes! That’s pretty edgy, eh?
Jess says
Edge Me! I really don’t live on the edge, but yesterday I did paint my front door a very citrusy green!
-alex says
Edge me! Nothing exciting going on here…
Arianna says
Edge ME!
I wouldn’t say outrageous. But thrilling for me right now is the work with HIV101.ca that I’m doing right now. It’s thrilling and satisfying…
Thanks!
Natasha S says
EDGE ME!! :)
Brianne says
EDGE ME!
Dee Hyde says
EDGE ME!
Sadly, living on the edge these days might mean staying up past 10pm. With a toddler and one on the way, I don’t get up to much trouble :)
Heather Rae says
EDGE ME! I try to live on the edge by constantly looking for avenues of self-expression (be it doodling, painting canvas, or redoing furniture *my latest project, which a stencil could really come in handy for*) and doing things that the Mr. doesn’t understand (dyeing my hair pink anyone??)
Maleah says
EDGE ME!
i skydived with my mom for her 50th birthday a few months ago:)
Keenan says
Edge Me!
The craziest I get is taking both kids to run errands and making more than one stop!
Katie says
EDGE ME. Buying the tile I love without thinking about how it affects my budget / what I have to give up to have it.
Jenn says
EDGE ME! I live of the edge by staying up to watch SNL when it’s new. Craziness, I know.
Katharine says
Edge me!
I have a pair of yellow jeans that I sometimes wear (dumdedum) with no belt. It’s an incredibly harrowing time of butt crack awareness.
John says
Edge me! I don’t really live on the edge… and I like it that way!
Jessi says
Call it my “girly” side – so…edge me! I think I could find a new stencil for my oasis of calm I like to call my apartment.
I guess you could say that I live my life on the edge on a somewhat daily basis considering that I’m an ER (emergency room) technician as well as run full time on an ambulance doing 911 calls and to round off my edges, I’m a volunteer firefighter as well! :)
It’s an everyday occurance for me to either be performing CPR, bandaging some nasty wounds, or even running into a burning building (though lately – not that many fires have popped up!) But when I get home, all I want to do is relax, craft and read.
Vanessa says
EDGE ME!!!
Claire says
Edge me! I’m a lifeguard, so I’m on the edge of my seat all day every day!
Mindy says
EDGE ME – I teach 7 year olds for a living. Really, is there anything crazier than that? I also spend my weekends, hiking, biking and enjoying the Colorado Rockies!
Preeti says
EDGE ME!!
Virginia says
Edge me! My clothes can be edgy.. that’s about as far as I go!
Terra says
EDGE ME! Waiting to do laundry until I have zero pairs of underwear left in my drawer is about as edgy as I get!
Laura D says
EDGE ME…
edgiest thing lately is new recipes.
Rebecca says
EDGE ME! Zipline in Jamaica was the most recent one.
Teresa says
EDGE ME out the side door. I think this could be a fun addition to our newly renovated side entrance.
Kara Joy says
EDGE ME!
Well, I’m not a big risk taker. BUT we did just buy a used car WITH ALMOST ALL OUR SAVINGS from some nice people … Of course, we mitigated the risk by having our mechanic check it out, but it seemed like a big leap from one vehicle to two!
Ashley says
Edge me!
Living on the edge for us really just means a bluff, which our house overlooks. And we’re so safety-silly that we built way far away from the bluff. You know, just in case.
amy says
Edge me! Personally I’m trying to stay away from the edge!
The stencils are great though, I like the ginkgo leaf pattern a lot!
Molly says
EDGE ME.
Life on the edge for me is to go to the grocery store without a list. :)
Megan Cuy Castellanos says
EDGE ME!!!
I’m pretty tame now that I’m married and have a little baby girl, but I used to live ‘on the edge’ by taking weekend trips to Guatemala to visit my now husband while we were dating/engaged.
Rikke says
EDGE ME!!! I was (somewhat) edgy back in my college days, but that was years ago. Now that I have an (almost) two year-old, an edgy night for me is when it’s nearing midnight before I make it to bed. Crazy!
Katie Nelson says
Edge me! I am mostly boring, but I like to rearrange our furniture on a regular basis. I am actually sort of disappointed if we have friends over and the furniture is the same as it was the last time those friends were here. I like hearing the, “wow this is different!” comments that usually come with company. :)
Jill says
EDGE ME! this from a not so edgy lady. These days it’s going out with friends and getting home after midnight.
Michelle says
Edge me!!
I live on the edge by making my own yogurt!
rachel says
edge me! i love that gingko leaf!
debbie says
Edge Me! I am re-doing my bedroom and this would be great!
Julie says
Edge me! Seriously, “life on the edge” for my husband and I usually just means we share a dessert when we go out to dinner! Ha! But we are planning a road trip for the near future so that should be awesome!
