Fab Freebie: The Cutting Edge

*** 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?

Cutting Edge Stencil Giveaway

  • 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!
    I spend my days at home with a 10 year old boy that acts much like a 13 year old girl in his attitude and my twin girls who are 4 and tend to fight with each other a lot. While I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily livin’ on the edge, they do tend to push me to the edge…

    EDGE ME!

    I’m not super risky, but I am a little impatient, and that causes me to take risks sometimes. Right now those risks are super tame, like “I’m going to paint the guest room aqua!” Or, “I don’t care, I’m going to buy that crepe mertyle!” But more importantly, I’ve been obsessing over stenciling our master bath. SO EDGY!

    Two things I’ve done recently to change my live around and live on the edge have been becoming a student in a yoga teacher training program and adopting a puppy within the same month! Both have been exciting and new for me!

    Very little edge-living lately, but I am trying to inspire a little more risk-taking in my five year old. Swimming UNDER the rope instead of over it? Daring!

    I haven’t done anything “edge” worthy in quite a few years now but for my big 3-0 birthday this past year my hubby bought me a chance to drive/race a NASCAR. I’m hoping to do it this summer so maybe eventually I’ll be edgy.

    I’m not edgy at all, but I am always on edge, working and living and stressing in DC. I back away from the edge by reading your blog, gardening, and watching amazing DIY on HGTV.

    I regularly scuba dive to “live on the edge”. Living in the suburbs of Chicago, I resort to shipwreck dives in Lake Michigain…although this summer I have been thinking about buying a speargun and catching fish while im down there.

    EDGE ME! I went parasailing and scuba-diving in Belize once when I was a teenager. But since I’ve settled down and had two kids, my idea of living on the edge is eating Goo Goo Cluster ice cream at 11 PM.

    EDGE ME! I’m a graduate student working in a lab, which might seem risky to some. It is actually more equal parts exciting and dull.
