*** 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.

Kelly D. says
EDGE ME!
I left a great job and community to move with my then long-distance boyfriend (and now husband of four years) to a new city on the other side of the country and to start graduate school. I’m so glad I took the scary simultaneous plunges into new relationship, career, and geography, because things worked out great and we are now taking another leap of faith together and expecting our first baby (in about 6 weeks)!
Amber says
Edge Me.
Abby says
Edge Me! I went on an adventure vacation to Costa Rica where we zip-lined, white water rafted, and rapelled down a waterfall!
Sheena says
EDGE ME!
Since having my son, living on the “edge” for me now entails staying up past 9 pm! :)
Randi says
Edge me! I would live every moment on the edge if I could. But my family and friends don’t really appreciate when I do! Winning this would finally push me to stencil something-probably the bedroom, maybe the ceiling!

Lauren says
EDGE ME!
Pretty boring here. Living on the edge is taking my 19 month old to Target : )
Athena says
Edge me!
Not so ‘edgy’ as of late, with a 3 year old, but I used to love getting lost (literally) in big cities to emerse myself in culture (Tokyo, Beijing, Madrid). It’s exhausting, but we find great food that way!
Andy says
EDGE ME!
I haven’t done anything “on the edge” lately, but I’ve been bungee jumping before!
Kirsten says
EDGE ME!
I don’t know… Camping in the great Maine woods amongst the moose in bears was pretty edgey for me this past weekend.
Betsy says
EDGE ME! After a couple drama-filled years, I’m fine living far from the edge for a while :)
Amanda H. says
EDGE ME!
I live life on the edge. Some nights, I even stay up until 1 or 2AM when I have to work the next day. Totally hardcore.
Katie S. says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge by raising our 2 yr old while being 6 months preggers – pretty edgy eh?
Hillary says
EDGE ME!! I drive faster than I should. Hehe!
Susie says
EDGE ME! Have a toddler requires complete elimination of all edges, literal and figurative, so living on the edge for me starts and stops at eBay auctions. It’s a little pathetic, really. ;)
Sarah K says
EDGE ME! I don’t, that’s why my husband calls me safety sarah.
Katie says
EDGE ME! no risks here, unless you count driving in Philadelphia traffic!
Sandra says
“EDGE ME!”
I’ve been living on the edge by letting my hair color grow off to discover just how much grey is hiding under there. Turns out there was a lot (I’m 49)! Since I’m almost halfway there, I’ve decided to stick it out and see the final results.
Kayleigh says
EDGE ME!
I live on the egde probably never..haha my boyfriend and I have become quite the boring people lately. The most likely we do is eat something sinfully delicious that we shouldn’t because we are trying to cut back!
Jema says
Edge me!
Christy U. says
edge me
Lyndsey M. says
EDGE ME!! :-) I try to make myself do something new every once in awhile to keep me on my toes.
Sarah says
Edge me! I procrastinate my way to the “edge” of almost every regular life task. :)
Amy Rode says
EDGE ME!
Rachael R says
EDGE ME! I will paint without the tape up! Woop-woop!! Getting Crazy! =)
Gunilla says
EDGE ME please!
It’s not quite “living on the edge” but still has the adrenaline pumping – we are in the midst of packing up our 2 bedroom townhouse to make the move to a bigger place…and we are doing it all in 1 week! My husband and I both work full-time and I am almost 4 months pregnant, so needless to say, it’s been exhausting. I would love to do an awesome geometric stencil in our new powder room – would be a first as I have not tried stenciling before!
Terry Hansen Leibenguth says
Edge me! Recently committed to painting a 9′ tall abstract painting for the Street of Dreams house. I’m now terrified as the blank canvas stares back at me!
Jen says
Edge me! Buying tickets to go backpacking in Patagonia for my big 30!
Holly says
Edge Me! I keep pretty safe these days…edgy = experimenting with making my own laundry detergent & fabric softener!!! ;-) I feel like a little mad scientist. ha
Lissete says
EDGE ME!
I’m not edgy, but I recently jumped on board on diy home projects, I’ve never done this before but it’s definitely over the line for me, and I’m liking it!
Rachel Mooney says
EDGE ME!
Life on the edge gets a whole new meaning with a 4 month old in hand, but it gets pretty thrilling when he sleeps through the night and my husband and I can watch trash TV and eat uninterrupted!
Kathryn says
EDGE ME! I’m not big on living life on the edge, but I do love travel. Does that count? ;)
Janell P says
EDGE ME! I don’t live on the edge too regularly, but I do love a good thrill. I guess it all started as a kid when we’d push our trampoline close to the side of the house and jump off the roof when my parents weren’t home. It’s all fun until the oldest sibling has to go to the hospital. Oops.
