*** 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.
BJohnson says
EDGE ME! Like that time I got almost got stuck alone in Kenya on my way to Burundi when the driver I hired got in a yelling match with a guy waving an M16 around. No– I’m not joking.
Lisa K says
Edge me! The most edgy thing I do these days is to stay up till 10:30, now that we have a 3-yr-old and a 22-month old! Ha ha! Or, maybe it’s letting them try to feed me their pre-chewed food! Ew! Who says my life’s not “edgy”!!
Nicole says
Edge Me! Does taking a 2 year and a puppy canoe/camping while 5 months pregnant count for living on the edge?
kyrstin says
EDGE ME!!
I plan on bringing an edgy feature wall treatment to our bedroom when the hubs heads out of town…. the cutting edge giveaway would help greatly!
Jen J. says
Edge me!
Sometimes I eat dessert FOR dinner. And next week I am going boar hunting.
Lauren P says
EDGE ME!
On a day to day basis there is not a lot of risky things happening, but if the opportunity opens to do something crazy like bridge jumping or white water rafting down crazy rapids, I can’t pass it up! I am terrified at first, but once I am doing it, I love the thrill!
Lesley says
Edge me!!!
I live on the edge when…I plan an exciting trip to Chicago to help my old roommate stencil her hallway? Does that count?
rachel says
EDGE ME!! Not too much livin on the edge lately….The closest to living on the edge for me is refusing to do laundry and dishes for a day or two :)
Nichole says
EDGE ME!
The only time I’ve ever said, “I’m living on the edge” is when singing along to Aerosmith.
Sunne says
EDGE ME! I’ll unplug from electronics for a few days, including phones. These days, that makes other people nervous. It’s my version of rebelling.
Dana says
EDGE ME!! I don’t live life on the edge at all, ha! I have to stay far, far from the edge or my 2 year old would surely jump off. Stenciling sounds super fun though, and also exhausting enough to drive me a little closer to the edge!
Anna says
EDGE ME! I occasionally have dessert for dinner, VERY edgy.
Tabitha says
Edge me!
I think the most edgy thing I’ve ever done is going to the grocery store in my pyjamas. ;)
Kate says
Edge Me! I’d say my using my bike as my primary mode of transportation to get around the city/ life can be living on the edge- depending on the mood/ awareness of the drivers around me. Usually not bad, but I had too many close calls!
Lizzie Bowman says
EDGE ME! My husband took me camping over Memorial Day weekend. For a girl who didn’t grow up camping, it was big step. :)
Nicole A. says
Edge me!
Heather Ricco says
EDGE ME! I live life on the edge by taking on projects (design) I’ve never done before.
Courtney says
Edge me! Answering this question 7-10 years ago would give a much different answer! Now, I’m living on the edge if I go out for a drink with friends on a Wednesday!
Chelsea Palcher says
EDGE ME! Taking on a bathroom remodel in an old building with constant suprises. We’re doing all the tiling ourselves and it certainly makes me feel on edge!
andrea says
EDGE ME!
Since being in nursing school they tell you that you cant have a life anymore I would say that getting away for a night last weekend counts as living on the edge!!
Whitney says
EDGE ME!! Living on the edge for me is committing to a decision for the house we are building. I will know all along that I want something a certain way, but when it comes to setting it in stone I get cold feet! Good thing I didn’t do that when it came to marrying my hubby! :)
marcela says
Edge me! i like to live life on the safe side not much of a risk taker
Amy says
Edge me!

EDGE ME!
Chris Hamann says
EDGE ME!
We go camping, sky diving (only once, but want to do it again!). It’s kinda on the edge…
Kathy says
Edge me! Please living on the edge, planning a move cross country!
denise says
EDGE ME! I honestly can’t think of a thing I do to live life on the edge. Having kids totally changed my outlook on the amount of risk I’m willing to take!
Laura says
Edge me! Staying up until 11PM reading a good book even though my 2yo daughter is going through a phase of random night waking again is living on the edge for me! Will I still be able to get a good night’s sleep? Or will she wake and I end up a zombie tomorrow? Could go either way! Living on the edge.
Melissa says
Edge me! I’m planning to do a duathlon this fall. That’s as risky as i get.
Renee says
EDGE ME! Living on the edge is living with two teenagers!
Lisa says
EDGE ME! I’m no daredevil by any means. However I’m living vicariously through all of you younger DIYers and joining in on the fun. Just wish I had the energy of your age group!
Rebecca says
EDGE ME!!!
Ashley says
EDGE ME!
I can’t think of anything particularily edgy… maybe our little excursion to a cave tour in the Dominican Republic? Suffice to say that my spanish speaking husband didn’t think it was important to tell me that they tour guides were discussing whether or not the cave was flooded and/or the road to the cave was flooded for most of our drive there. We survived… and have the video to prove it. :)
Sarah @ The Ugly Duckling House says
Edge Me!
To motivate myself into getting into better shape this year, I signed up for Warrior Dash! I crawled under barbed wire, leapt over fire, and felt like a total badass. I loved every minute!
Jessica says
Edge me!
Living on the edge to me is mountain biking in Colorado. :)
Katie says
EDGE ME!!

Edge Me!
Wendy says
EDGE ME!!!
I recently ran Color Me Rad 5K with my daughter- and was pelted with colors every 1 k- it was AWESOME!
Karrie says
Edge me! Hands down, the most thrilling thing I’ve done was to give birth naturally to my daughter. When in high school, I did the skycoaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skycoaster) and the high from that was incredible. The endorphins from a natural birth was 10 times that! No kidding!
florence says
EDGE ME! I’ve backpacked in Ireland, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia! And wil be camping in the Smokies next week!
Mallory says
Edge me!
Jamie Smith says
EDGE ME! The closest I come to living on the edge is leaving my purse in my car overnight when I am already in my pajamas and too lazy to go out and get it.
Ronica says
EDGE ME!
Danielle K says
EDGE ME! As for living on the edge… every day feels like an adventure. It may not be book worthy, but my life is full enough to keep me busy, entertained and EXCITED!
MS says
EDGE ME!
Victoria C says
EDGE ME! I work in construction so making myself be assertive on a daily basis standing up to men who have been in the business longer than I’ve been alive definitely makes me feel like I’m living on the edge!
Jennifer says
EDGE ME!!!!
well back in my younger days i lived the life on the edge and a little too dangerously. So now Im happy to say that my living my life on the edge consists of staying up past bed time with my 6 year old son :)
Steph T. says
EDGE ME! My idea of living on the edge is leaving those dinner pots in the sink overnight! You never know what you’ll find the next morning! ;) good think I have a brave hubby!
Pamela says
EDGE ME! I push the gas tank level on my car consistently thus living life on the edge…even after the low level warning light goes on, I just keep on drivin’ not wanting to face the high gas prices at the pump (have not run out of gas so far, though). Yeah, I’m crazy. Haha.
