*** 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.
It’s my 40th birthday today! I’m ziplining to a hot air balloon from which I will parachute onto a speeding car that I’ll climb inside and drive cross country! And then I’ll sell you a bridge!
Ok, but seriously, I must have that ginkgo stencil.

Sarah N says
EDGE ME!
I live on the edge by eating expired yogurt – ha!
Nora says
EDGE ME!
I live life on the Edge by buy and fixing up a dilapidated drug house. Let’s just day the house came with its own security camera. We left it there for a few months just in case anyone came back to “visit” the former owners.
Alexandra says
Edge me! I guess the most outrageous thing I do is eat crazy foods… does trying a bite of deep fried veal brain count as living on the edge?
jennifer g says
edge me!
i love my life, but i wouldn’t say i live on the edge by any means… i guess our upcoming living on the edge moment is a family trip to lake placid. our family & my brother’s family & our mum = 5 adults + 5 kids [3: 3 & under] + a 6 hour car ride [one way] + a ton of out door adventures.
Kaysce says
EGDE ME! Talking about politics in WI is how I get edgy these days.

Edgy right now would be stenciling our foyer in one of these jazzy patterns :)
Windy says
Edge Me! Un-inteded trip over to the nearest town 2.5 hours away to ‘swing by’ IKEA as opposed to going to my original destination Wal-Mart down the block. Kinda lame, i know.
jessica says
EDGE ME!

Rachel says
EDGE ME!
I practice trapeze, which, depending on the shape, can be rather terrifying!

Edge Me!!!! I live on the edge everyday of the week. I have 6 girls and one completely out numbered little boy! We are always on the go and never a day of rest! And with that many girls talk about drama!!!
Miranda Glaeser says
“Edge me!”
Does letting my post-bath 2-year-old run around fhe house naked (no diaper people!) count as living on the edge?
Nina says
Edge me!
The most dangerous thing I do these days drive, people out there are crazy. I guess going to Costco on a Saturday morning is pretty scary too.
Lin says
EDGE ME! Living on the edge is not for me.

Kindra Taylor says
EDGE ME!
Amber says
EDGE ME!
For my idea as life on the edge eerily mimics yours :)

EDGE ME! No edginess here! Staying up late on a Friday is a little too much for me to handle right now. I want to stay in my “safe” place, thanks :) :)

I live on the edge by swimming in a lake with giant slimy catfish that are big enough to eat me.

Ummmmm…we virtually never pay our bills on time; does that ocount?!
Marisa says
EDGE Me! I can’t think of anything very edgy that I’ve done.

Rebecca says
EDGE ME! I’ve been known to run with scissors from time to time…

EDGE ME! We’ll be stenciling the top half of our dining room . . .once that room’s large window becomes a sliding door. This will be a DIY-with-the-help-of-a-very-knowledgable-uncle extravaganza. Cutting brick, removing lead painted window and of course stenciling. . . summer projects, here we come!
Amy M says
EDGE ME! Does recently going to an achery class count?
Gabrielle says
EDGE ME! I think starting my own business was edgy! 11 years later it’s still going so I guess it’s successful. We are on Facebook: Silly Bean. Soon we will online! Yea. Love reading your blog!
Rose Ardanaz says
Edge Me
Andrea Jackson says
Edge me! Do not live on the edge very often, I prefer the safe path ;)
Holly says
EDGE ME! I have three kids, ages 6, 5, and 2. So needless to say we ALWAYS live on the edge…and sometimes I fall off! :)
Karen says
EDGE ME!
Living on the edge… hmmm. Does speeding count? I’m a pretty fast driver when I’m by myself. The motherly protection mode comes back when my son is in the car with me. My life is pretty low key of edge these days. I lived on the edge for years when I was in my late teens, early 20s, so I’m okay with living a more low key life. :)
cristin says
Edge Me! I’ve been bungy jumping; I can’t say I’d do it again though.
Laci says
Edge me! Life on the edge is working with young children as a teacher. It’s never a dull moment, and I love it!
