*** 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’m pretty boring — trying these stencils put will be edgy enough for me! I’m dying to stencil a wall!
MB says
EDGE ME!
Our high school football coach is a retired Marine and that background means he has a procedure for everything, including the team laundry. He doesn’t allow the players to take them home to launder because, “He doesn’t want somebody’s Momma or maid turning his jerseys pink!”
Most people believe the fact that I transport an entire varsity football team’s uniforms in an SUV, lay them out on tables in my driveway to pre-treat, wash, dry and fold them up military style is not only disgusting, but pretty edgy too! I think it means I ain’t afraid of no ghosts, no stinky uniforms, and no stencils! Hurry & let me be the winner so I can paint before football starts again! :-)
Jan says
EDGE ME! Because I don’t do anything on the edge.
Krystle Clark says
EDGE ME!
I would love to live on the edge more often — but, the edgiest thing I do would be channelling my inner teen when driving by myself on a pretty day (picture windows down, sunroof open, the radio blaring, me dancing, and singing at the top of my lungs)!
Teresa says
EDGE ME!
Life on the edge for us is allowing your toddler to stay up a half hour past their bedtime. Makes for a risky morning the next day;)
Ashley says
Edge Me! I don’t really live on the edge!
Leslie F says
I guess mt idea of living life on the edge was deciding to have another baby at 40!
Stas says
Edge Me! I get edgy around my in-laws, does that count? :)
cindy says

I feel like I am living on the edge daily with my 2 crazy kids and a full time job on top of a house I want to do all this fun stuff to.
Lynne Hobbs says
EDGE ME!
Life on the edge is going to weekend auctions.
Emily H. says
Edge me!
Beth says
EDGE ME! Live pretty non edgy since starting a family 8 years ago. We are finally taking a vacation ALONE (without kids) this year. That’s as exciting as it gets.
Aubrey says
Edge me! Just painted our hardwood floors in our bedroom completely white…it’s edgy and awesome!
Kristin says
Edge me! I love adventure activities. I’ve been ice climbing and canyoning and sky diving… and many more!
Ashleigh says
EDGE ME! I teach 6th grade math….is that enough “edge”?! Putting a stencil on my wall would be pretty darn edgy for me and I’d be SUPER excited to do it!
Melissa says
EDGE ME!! I have a two year old and the craziest thing I will do is to go to the grocery store right before nap time and leaving the diaper bag at home!! Eeek!!
Alexis says
EDGE ME! I climbed up a volcano in New Zealand… hardest thing I’ve ever done!

EDGE ME!
Brittney says
Edge me!! Pink streak in my hair is about as edgy as it gets here :)
Sarah P. says
Edge me!
Life on the edge for me includes not blow drying my hair in the morning! Or perhaps not reading your blog for a day! :)
Stephanie H says
EDGE ME!!!
I don’t much live life on the edge, although my husband really enjoys spelunking and sometimes I feel like I’m experiencing it vicariously through his stories.
Keegan McKeown says
Edge Me! I would say that my job as a labor and delivery nurse is living on the edge enought for me :) Each day is a new adventure.
omayra says
EDGE ME!
Moving to a new city where we know not a single person within 100 miles with my husband and four kids.
kristi says
“EDGE ME!”
Is often forgetting about sunscreen considered living on the edge?
Beth says
Edge me!
I risk being late for work to enter your contest! ;)

Edge me! I have 2 colege age kids both living at home and communiting to University, that is pretty edgy!
Katie says
EDGE ME! I am far too boring …

abby says
Edge me! I don’t do anything edgy:)
Anita says
EDGE ME!
Loved cycling as a kid and finally got back into long distance cycling this past year at 46. Dreaming of a European cycling trip within the next couple of years.
Heather says
Edge me! Living on the edge is fun, whether it be skydiving or having dessert twice, anything on a whim is exciting!
Tracy says
Edge Me!
Um…does occasionally staying up past 10 count?
No really, we do all of our DIY stuff ourselves…taking out a load bearing wall, putting in a header, refinishing our floors, redoing the wiring in our whole house, putting on a new roof, putting in a gas line for the range. No contractors coming to this cheapskate’s house.
Stephanie Connock says
EDGE ME! I suppose quitting my job is living on the edge, right? Trading my office job job to try my hand at being a baker. Probably doesn’t sound that edgy but it sure was scary to make that change (that and the prospect of waking up at 4am everyday, yikes)!
Ruby Showalter says
EDGE ME! I don’t live life on the edge too much, but do love to travel to new and exciting places…like the trip we’re taking to Jamaica with our youth this summer!
Danielle Dziedzic says
I recently started dating a guy who is an “extreme sports nerd” (as he explains himself). He skydives, does motocross, hunts, does mountain biking, etc. He’s a great guy and a ton of fun.
I live life on the edge by trying new things, most recently riding a motocross bike. I must admit…I was a natural!
Hollie says
EDGE ME….after having kids, my desire for living on the edge is very minimal. Our most adventurous day was a mile hike last week where surely a snake was laying in waiting to bite us or perhaps a bear was eyeing us up for lunch.
Emy says
EDGE ME!
Living on the edge for me is letting my 4 year old sleepover at a friend’s house. She is a talker and doesn’t go to sleep easily, so it involved many trips upstairs, threats, promises and bribes.
Cindy says
EDGE ME!
I hate planes, but flew to Israel.
Dawn G. says
EDGE ME!!
I generally don’t do anything thrilling or outrageous, but stenciling sounds pretty outrageous and I’d love to try it!
Liz Hernandez Nunez says
“EDGE Me” I’ve lived on the edge recently by mixing colors in my bedroom that I NEVER would have mixed before…so sad, my exciting life:) LOL
Pierrette says
EDGE ME!
Katya says
Edge me!
Virginia Middlebrook says
Edge me! At the age of 40 I learned to ride motorcycles. I now ride a Harley-Davidson V-rod Muscle with 86lbs of torque to the rear wheel and goes from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds!
Amber says
Edge me! I like flying, but not in planes–I’ve been parasailing (from a boat), hot air ballooning, and paragliding (parachute off the side of a cliff). Something about seeing the world and feeling the wind like a bird is very cool to me.
Sophia C. says
Edge Me!! I live on the edge on particularly tiring days by drinking a second cup of coffee.!
haley says
EDGE ME….. sometimes I leave dishes in the sink before going to bed. WHOO HOO crazeee, I know!
