*** 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.
Carol says
Edge me!
Edges in our family usually refer to figure skating inside and outside edges.
Jessica G says
EDGE ME!
We’re living on the edge considering the purchase of a (much-needed) new computer instead of paying off more of the student loan with the check! :)
A Rae says
Edge me. I live on the edge when I take my 3,5,8&11 yo BOYS to a store by myself.
Julie says
EDGE ME! I went skydiving once. I figure that counts as living on the edge!
Allison says
EDGE ME!
I’m about as un-edgy as they come. I did just try cutting in during my bathroom-painting today. Does free-hand edging count as edgy?
Julie says
Edge me! Living in Mexico, teaching school was my “edgy” experience.
Amy says
Edge me! I get an extra shot of espresso in my mocha to feel like I’m living on the edge!
Ashley says
“EDGE ME!”
Alicia says
EdGE me. Living on the edge, gave up diet coke this week. Woof.
Angela B says
“EDGE ME!” I like to live on the edge and stay up way TOO late on Saturday nights watching horrible tv when I know that my 2 yr old twins will be up at 6am;)
Ronalea S says
EDGE ME! I live life on the edge by using stencils to decorate my house, let me tell you I stenciled my bathroom and ot was a 20 hour long project, but well worth every minute it looks so beautiful when you are done!!!!
Bailey N says
EDGE ME!
Abby says
Edge me!
I’m the least edgy person ever…
Erica says
EDGE ME! I spent my college years hitchhiking to work each day. Yikes! Never again
Kate H. says
EDGE ME!
I very actively live far from the edge. I’m a worrier, in library school, currently reading YA books for class – I don’t know if my life could get any edgier…
Paula says
EDGE ME!
Michele says
EDGE ME!
I’m about to spend a few days away from my kiddos (for the first time since the eldest was born nearly 3 years ago!)
I’m excited and nervous. That’s about as edgy as I get right now. :)
kate C. says
EDGE ME!
These days I live life on the edge by staying up past 10pm… occasionally.
Maggie B says
Edge me! I regularly visit my parents without ingesting Advil beforehand! I’m a risk-taker oh yeah.
Sarah Maser says
Edge Me!! With a 2 year old I live on the edge by staying up late on a Friday Night even though I know she will be up at 7 am regardless. :)
Cheryl H says
EDGE ME. Please. My idea of living life on the edge is probably a lot more subtle than most– a trip to look for trinkets at Target or adding a fun color to my hair. Earth shattering? Hardly. However, I definitely find it satisfying.
janna brown says
Edge me! I am less edge-y than I used to be! I like taking risks…but my risks are more like trying some project I dream up in my head without a real plan! Makes my husband crazy!
Jenn says
EDGE ME! LOVE the Ginko! But I admit, I am a little afraid… of the stencil!
Danya says
EDGE ME!
Alexandra I says
Edge me! I take the phrase “living on the edge” very literally. Whether it’s skydiving (I did my first jump last year), rock climbing, or my new obsession (flying trapeze), living on the edge is the only way I know how to :)
Stephanie B says
Edge me!
I live life on the edge always. We are expecting #5 in August and this addition will give us 3, 3 years old and under!
Ashley Pena says
Edge Me! My husband and I have 4 dogs and a ferret of our own and are fostering another 2 ferrets so taking care of them is our version of life on the edge…of disaster…or at least the real potential for a mess.
Cassidy says
edge me
Bonnie says
Edge Me! would love to take a risk with the stencil and my front entryway. :0)
Mary says
Edge me!
I ride 14 miles each way on Chicago streets to get to work. On a bike. At least once a week.
Lani Bouchacourt says
EDGE ME… My kids keep me thrilled and excited every day!
Julie says
EDGE ME! Oh, probably spontaneous painting. When my husband is out of town, he comes home to bookcases, desks, walls… all that look totally different than when he left!
(and some stencils would help that along!)
Wynnie says
EDGE ME
trying a new sushi roll is about as crazy as I get
Lyndsey says
Edge me! I play roller derby… that’s life on the edge! (actually, my team just got beaten pretty soundly by your local River City Rollers in Richmond)
Wendy says
Edge me! I used to snowboard, but haven’t since my boys were born…
MichelleP says
EDGE ME! With a 2.5 year old and a 9 month old, I live on the edge by staying up later than I should. I really should get as much shut eye as I can!
Amanda says
Edge me!
I love scuba diving with large marine life- sharks, manta rays, you name it!
Katherine R. says
Edge me! I flew to Europe on a day’s notice when my husband’s business trip got extended…it was awesome! But my friends still tease me because I almost didn’t go because I had signed up to bring a friend a meal since she’d just had a baby (luckily they ended meals early so I was off the hook).
Shannon says
EDGE ME! I have a bookcase I want to stencil or paper.
I don’t really live on the edge but my husband did talk me into whitewater rafting the Nile three years ago when we were in Uganda. It was AWESOME!
Noel says
EDGE ME! We just painted chevron lines across our family room! Nothing too crazy :)
Holly says
Edge ME!!!
Are you sitting down? Because this is pretty edgy….
Sometimes my husband and I have dessert BEFORE dinner! Yeah that’s right, we’re grown-ups, we can do cool shit like that.
Also, I just dropped an S-bomb, so that’s kinda edgy right?
Pati says
EDGE ME! i live life on the edge by rock climbing with my husband.
Kelly says
Edge Me! Does taking two toddlers who played outside all day and had no naps to a fancy restaurant for dinner because our babysitter canceled count as edgy?!
Jennifer says
Edge Me:
You mean driving the speed limit when everyone else is going 10 over isn’t living on the edge?
Leigh says
Edge me! I am honestly not that edgy or thrilling. I did adopt a second dog even though our first was already a handfull – I know, I know, crazy! My husband on the other hand is a bit more “edgy” I suppose…being a drummer and touring for quite some time in the past, and jumping off everything he can including over his drums frequently, although he hasn’t done that in awhile with the drumming thing on the backburner.
Sarah says
Edge me! My living on the edge is committing the next 15+ years to moving around where ever the Navy chooses to send us… And I would REALLY love to go skydiving.
AviLynn says
Edge me!! I am heading to bed with dishes in the sink and I don’t care :)
mickensi says
Edge me!
Mandy says
Edge me! I live on the edge with my 3 young children, 5, 3, and 21 months. I’ts not for the faint of heart :)
Mackenzie Mendoza Gilmore says
Edge me… I live on the edge daily by living in Brooklyn, NY… Everyday is an adventure…
