*** 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.
KATIE says

Ann says
Edge me :) Not sure about the living on the edge thing. I’ve always been pretty risk-averse. But I’d love to try out a stencil!
Tanja says
EDGE ME! I’m also a bit “blah”. ;-) Nothing too crazy for me. I like to keep things mellow. But decorating my house… now THAT I’m into!
polly westmont says
“EDGE ME!”
I take my daughter out without her diaper on! Living on the edge!
Courtney Madden says
Edge me! I work for an airline so we travel all over the world – one weekend at a time! Everyone thinks we’re crazy to travel for 20 hours for 26 hours in a destination but it’s so worth it!!
Also, can’t wait to stencil our front hallway :)
Mallory W says
Edge me! My husband and I run a high school sailing team…being in charge of 20 teenagers for an entire weekend (every weekend for 3 months) makes us feel a little crazy sometimes!
Gretchen says
EDGE ME!My life is pretty tame. The most dangerous thing I do is sometimes eat crab even though it gives me hives. Sometimes deliciousness is worth it.

Is riding roller coasters considered edgy? If so, I’m edgy. ;0)

I’m pretty tame these days, but definitely wasn’t in the past! Maybe it’s time to spice things up a bit ;)
Kelley says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge by paddling a canoe through shark-infested water in the wee hours of the morning. No, really! Being a marine biology major can make you feel like Indiana Jones sometimes!
Eileen says
Edge me! Thanks to blogs like yours, I’m tackling projects I once didn’t have the courage for. I just painted an outdoor rug, bought a cheap old TV stand at an estate sale that I’m repainting as a storage piece for the deck this weekend, and then I’ll be staging a “while you were out” to surprise my family with a newly styled deck.
Maria says
EDGE ME!
I try to do something that scares me regularly. Last month I went hiking in the desert and I was petrified of stepping on a rattlesnake, but I luckily I didn’t.
Erin B says
EDGE ME! Not really someone who lives on the edge. I am a play it safe kind of gal.

EDGE ME!
With a 5 year old running around and a full time job, my idea of living on the edge is staying up past 9pm!
Ann says
Edge me! Having a crazy 3 year old is enough for me!
Jennie says
EDGE ME! I think trying to undertake some major painting in the next couple of weeks, and maybe resurfacing my laminate countertops, will be my edgy stuff for a while!
Janet says
Edge Me! Hiked 6 hours in the mountains of CA with the husband in bear country with a backpack full of granola bars, trail mix, and bananas. We made it out alive!!!
Liv says
EDGE ME!! :)
Jenine says
EDGE ME – I live life on the edge by being actively involved with the girl scouts of western Oklahoma. I have been a troop leader and summer camp staff member for the past 6 years so get to have fun with the girls doing stuff like archery, outside cooking, climbing, hiking snake hunting etc etc. There is never a dull day :)
michelle says
edge me! i’m far from being edgy!

Edge Me!
Don’t we all live on the edge as we don’t know, really, what’s comming tomorrow?
Anne says
Edge Me!!!
Drinking two beers instead of one is about as edgy as I get. :-)
Bianca C. says
EDGE ME
I plan to one day travel with a friend or hubby, to slightly unknown, breathtaking, and adventurous locations around the world. Of course taking my future professional camera equipment.
Until then I dream, plan, and save up for it!
Brandy says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge by racing multisport. And this spring I ran the Tough Mudder – 26 obstacles and 11.5 miles = on the edge.
Liz B. says
Edge Me!!!
I recently went skydiving and want to go again, badly! I’m addicted apparently. :)
Erin says
EDGE ME . . . I guess probably mt. bike racing, especially that i just signed up for a 50 mile mountain bike race. So that’s pretty good.
Karen Thompson says
Edge Me! My most outrageous adventure lately (in an otherwise mild working-Mom-of-three-girls life) was tracking and shooshing a bat out of our house that somehow wandered in. If that wasn’t exciting enough (and by exciting I mean blood-curdling screams coming from the three girls), we all ended up having to get rabies shots because the bat was in our house overnight. Pediatrician and state health department mandate. Outrageous! :-)
Beth says
EDGE ME! My husband and I went hiking in a known bear area of the woods last summer. No one, I mean, no one else was on the trail. Luckily, no bear sightings and a few big sighs of relief!
Meg says
Edge me!
Life on the edge for me was accepting the offer of a friend’s BMW convertible for the weekend in place of my usual family swagger wagon. I felt 10 years younger!
Erin says
Edge me! My whole life is on the edge.
