*** 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.
Amber says
Edge Me! The edgiest thing I’ve ever done is move half way across the country to a city I wasn’t familiar with!
Angie K says
EDGE ME!!
Living on the edge for me, right now, is jumping in feet first and launching a business that I *hope* will get me home more with my kids!
And, as somebody doing that, I can honestly say you don’t give yourself enough credit. Living on the edge is taking a chance and giving this wonderful blog the chance it deserved and working it full-time with no back-up income. That takes GUMPTION!! lIfe on the edge for sure!
Lara says
Edge Me! Not the most wild person, but we rescued a pregnant mother Labrador from a high kill shelter and now we have 10 two week old lab puppies. Not edgy, but a little crazy- a house full of puppies!
Heesun Shim says
edge me! i recently started getting into adventure obstacle course mud runs (e.g. tough mudder and spartan race)and am really digging it! as a mommy of 2, it’s nice to get away and get down and dirty and competitive at a “playground” for grown-ups! hoora!
Keshet says
Edge me! I have a 4 month old and am moving!
Karina says
“EDGE ME!”
Life on the edge: pressing the snooze button until I have only 12 minutes to run out of the door each morning (shower included!)…
Amy says
EDGE ME!!!
Kara says
EDGE ME
Sarahincola says
Edge me!
Angella says
EDGE ME!
Lately living life on the edge consists of going shopping with my 3 year old and 7 month old without any backup. In the past I have been known to crowd surf at concerts.
Courtney says
EDGE ME! Our family is always living on the edge. I just took in my dad, my two older brothers, their 3 dogs, and my brother’s 2 year old son (in addition to our family with our dog and 2 year old daughter). Everyday is an adventure :-)
Rachel Hires says
EDGE ME!
Like you, not very edgy. I did paint a room kelly green once and loved it! Kate Spade is my alter ego:)
Emily J says
EDGE ME!
Julie Jacobsen says
EDGE ME! The edgiest thing I do is to take trips to Africa with my church. In-country driving is definately not for the weak of heart! Still, some might say home schooling my kids is the craziest – I mean – edgiest thing I do.
Mel says
Edge me! Our “living on the edge” is limited to agility competition with dogs and painting our dining room a daring blue. ;)
Denny Finnerin says
EDGE ME! ….sometimes I walk on the street instead of the sidewalk… does that count?

“EDGE ME”. I live life on the edge by using paper instead of plastic at the grocery store. ha!
Maria says
EDGE ME!
I am not a risky person. But I do procrastinate for my graduate school papers. And I always get an A. So I’m sticking with it :-)
MJB says
EDGE ME! I view the edge when I pack too much into a tight schedule (you know, like getting my daughter to her band concert at the same time my son has a baseball game and I have a board meeting. Gets MY adrenaline pumping anyway….)
Maribeth says
EDGE ME!
Well, before I got married and became a responsible, if somewhat boring, mother, there was skydiving and driving fast cars and jumping off cliffs…. now I’m happy painting the walls a shade that pushes me out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I love every minute of it :)
Briana says
EDGE ME! My husband and I collect marathon medals — most think we’re crazy to willingly run 26.2 miles.
angie says
Edge ME!!!
Drinking TWO many beers at the local pub on our weekly ( well, almost) Friday night date night away from the kids :)
Andrea says
EDGE ME! I take jobs in random countries, and now, as my husband and I look at finishing up grad school, we are looking all over the world for job possibilities.
Kathie says
Edge me! I dream of being edgy, but unfortunately with 2 babies i am usually in bed by 9 because I am too tired!!
Robin G says
EDGE ME! I like to eat ice cream for dinner occasionally ????
Melanie says
Edge Me! My life took a drastic turn last year so I have spent the last 12 months reinventing myself and who I am. It has been fun, exhilarating and enjoyable all at the same time!
Shauna says
EDGE ME! I’m definitely not a risk taker, but my husband recently joined the Air Force, so traveling around with him to new places is going to be enough of an adventure for me!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Rebecca M says
EDGE ME! (I send my husband to live on the edge.)
Sarah says
Edge me! I’m kinda with you guys. I like predictability and knowing what’s going to happen next. Although, I am a public school teacher. That’s gotta count for something, right?
Lindsey says
Edge me! My job has me living on the edge everyday!!
Tyler says
EDGE ME! This question has me questioning the level of excitement in my life… but I live on the edge each day by pestering my wife.
Jen says
EDGE ME! Imagine all the edges to cut in if I get a new stencil!

Edge Me! I haven’t done anything to on the edge lately. I have a 1 year old so that is enough for me to handle right now. :)
Ashley says
Edge Me! My living on the edge has been moving 3 times in the past 6 months, now settling in to our first homeownership!
Caroline says
“Edge Me”….we moved to a new area and decided to seek out individuals who have been trying to sell their houses…..we negotiated che ap rent for fixing up their place to sell ( some were free rent for painting) giving us time to get familiar with the area before we buy a house and. put down roots. we have moved 3 times in 1.5 years :)
Jessica says
EDGE ME! The most I’ve been on the edge lately is becoming freelance with my current job. Very exciting and scary at the same time!
Rachael MccGuinness says
Edge me! Ok… i am like john, living on the edge for me is like staying up past 11 pm! Haha :)

Heather says
Edge me!
We recently drove an hour away for free donuts. :3
Kate K. says
EDGE ME!! I try and push the limit by visiting places slightly out of the norm like Africa, and have a trip planned to Jordan. So many beautiful places to see if you just let yourself live on the edge a bit :)
Meg says
EDGE ME! Hmmm…not much of a risk taker, but I have always dreamed of jumping out of an airplane! Maybe for my 30th…in 2 years :)
Andree Caron says
EDGE ME! I’ll jump on the bandwagon too :P And if it happens that the item cannot be shipped to me, I’ll gift it to one of my US friends :) That’s how I live on the edge ;) By trying to win things up here in Canada even when I *may not* be able to :P
Jenny G says
Edge Me!!!! I’m closing on my first home on Wednesday and would LOVE to have a little help with stenciling!!! =)

EDGE ME!! When you have three year old twin boys, it feels like your whole life is living on the edge! Bumps and giggles and sword fights…my sons are my extreme sport, and I love it!!
TP says
Edge Me! The most recent thing that makes people think I am crazy is adopting a second dog, who may grow to be 100+ lbs!
Christina D says
EDGE ME!!
I don’t really live on the edge… The craziest thing I’ve done recently is zip lining … and I’d do it again! So much fun!!
Cheryl Wingate says
EDGE ME!
Living on the edge for me these days is keeping up with my 15-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son. Having to keep on top of her interests and concerns (dating, boyfriends and the latest in k-pop bands) and his (Legos and X-Box 360) keeps me pretty darned busy!
