*** 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.
Tara says
EDGE ME! Sometimes I throw caution to the wind and buy something that isn’t on my list at the grocery store…
Jennifer says
EDGE ME! I don’t live too far on the edge, but I hope to go skydiving one day!
Christen says
Edge me! I definitely don’t live on the edges. Probably the edgiest thing I’ve done this year is travel to France with Dan, my husband. We had been wanting to for three years, and finally decided to book the plane flight!
Andrea says
EDGE ME!
I sometimes like to not wash my hands in the middle of the night when I go to the bathroom. We are pretty non-risk takers around here :)
Jeri says
Edge me!! And I love whitewater rafting. OK, so I’ve only done it twice, and both times on baby rapids, but I’m still counting that.
Lauren says
EDGE ME!
I live on the edge by having a glass of wine. I enjoy it, but I hurt so bad the next day.
Ellen says
EDGE ME!
Corinne says
EDGE ME!
I think the only edgy thing I’ve done in recent years was get the heck out of retail and get a “regular” job. Only required picking up and moving to the Midwest, where I only knew three people!
Sarah says
“EDGE ME!” I tend to need a “jump off a cliff” type moment in my life every now and again. Once was moving to Europe for a year. I have a feeling another is coming up soon~
Stephanie H says
Edge me. Going into business for myself is probably the riskiest thing I’ve ever done. It doesn’t just affect me, but my husband and our lifestyle, too.
Kayleigh says
EDGE ME! Last summer I went cliff-diving in Jamaica… at home there are almost no edges though. ;)
Liz says
EDGE ME!!
The edgiest thing I’ve ever done is bungee jumping in New Zealand. Since then, I’ve kept my feet pretty firmly planted on solid ground :)
Molly says
Edge Me!
Ummm occasionally I go grocery shopping without a list?
Taya says
EDGE ME!
I am getting married in 33 days and we have booked a parasailing adventure for our Hawaii Honeymoon!
Justynn Y says
EDGE ME!
Two weeks ago I went for my second tandem sky diving jump ever :) This time i took my sister with me.
Sarah Gilbert says
edge me!
Kate says
EDGE ME! And, uh, the best I can think of is that I haven’t replenished my supply of band-aids for a few weeks — surely I’m jinxing myself for some massive papercut.
Katie says
EDGE ME! I stay up too late on school nights! Haha!
erika m says
EDGE ME! I think my “edgiest” adventure would be…giving birth to my 4 kids without drugs/meds….that was definitely edgy :)
Serena says
EDGE ME!
Do illegal chickens count as “edgy”? We have a small (6) backyard flock that we feed an organic layer blend so that we don’t have to pay $6 for a dozen organic, free-range eggs.
The only problem is that we live in the middle of suburbia where they’re not allowed. We live in TN, and even tho they passed a law in Nashville making it legal to own chickens within city limits, it isn’t even an issue on the table in the city where we live…
Is it possible that our eggs taste so much better than the ones from the store not just because they’re fresh, but because they’re outlawed??? Hehe…
OR IS IT BECAUSE THEY COULD WIN ME A WALL STENCIL?! ::Hint, hint, wink, wink::
Brandy says
“EDGE ME!”
Emily says
EDGE ME!
I was dissatisfied with the lack of edginess in my life, so I decided to get a facial piercing. Until my husband found out (didn’t think he would care) and begged on his knees for me not to do it. So I’m still looking for a good “edge” for my look and/or life.
Christa says
EDGE ME!
I don’t really live on the edge either. Although this summer we will be driving cross country with our 3 kids. Now that’s taking a risk. I hope we survive!
Bethanyblntn says
EDGE ME! I live in a log cabin with no hot water.
Jill @ missiondecorate.com says
EDGE ME! I feel like raising a 2 year old is a daily thrill…my little version of living life on the edge.
Hillary says
EDGE ME! I painted my bathroom electric blue–everyone else raises their eyebrows when they see it, but I love it!!!!!!!!
Steph B says
EDGE ME! Working with reactive dogs is my version of living on the edge… We are careful to keep things safe and very calm and use lots of positive reinforcement training, but there’s always an element of risk!
Hilary says
Edge Me! Living on the Edge to me this summer means living life to the fullest every single day, no matter what the cost.
Kim says
Edge me!!!!
Ziplining in Maui is about as edgy as I get!
Nupur says
EDGE ME! After a lifetime of dealing with a driving phobia, I drove 7 whole miles (my myself, on unfamiliar roads) to knit with my knitting group. How’s that for living on the edge? ;)
Christina says
Edge me! I lived life on the edge just this past weekend. I painted our former linen closet bright green and now use it as a display/bookshelf. To paint something so bold is edgy for me! I think the gingko design would look pretty nifty over the bright green too :)
Mandi says
EDGE ME! Not a risk taker AT ALL…unless you count driving through a yellow light! :)
Melissa says
EDGE ME! Does staying up past 11 count?
Erin S. says
EDGE ME!
Sometimes I don’t lay out my clothes the night before work =)
Winnie says
Edge me! I love jumping off high rocks into the (deep) water below. Also swinging by my knees on the flying trapeze at Club Med!
Nichole says
EDGE ME! We’re not huge risk takers, but we did just build a house, so that counts as our most recent, biggest risk. We love our new home!
Suzanne says
Edge me.
Erin C. says
EDGE ME! The craziest thing I have ever done is getting engaged to my now husband after only knowing him 5 months and only dating long distance during that time. We got married just under a year after meeting each other. We jumped in with both feet haven’t looked back. It has been almost 6 great years.
Jenn says
EDGE ME!
I was up until close to midnight last night — living on the edge for this mommy!
Johanna says
EDGE ME!
Julie says
EDGE ME! Ha – sometimes I leave the dirty dishes in the sink overnight…that’s as edgy as it gets around here!
Nicholin says
“EDGE ME!” I’m not a risk taker; which might be a nice way of saying I’m a wuss. (I’m very practical = accountant) *smile*
Gina says
EDGE ME!
Lara says
Edge me!
Madelyn Ridgeway says
Edge me!
Melissa G says
EDGE ME !!! Im not a very edge-y person but I do go crazy with my couponing :) I love saving money!!
Kylie m says
Edge me!!
Don’t really live on the edge, but I did go down a zip line in Jamaica while 3 mos pregos!! It was a great time.
Jackie says
Edge me! I’ve been skydiving so I think that’s living on the edge!
Migdalia says
EDGE ME!
Sarah Kim says
EDGE ME! We have about 10 home projects going on at once. That’s about as “on edge” as we get.
