***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
I’m gonna bust out some flashback lingo from YHL circa 2008: prepare to swoon. This week’s giveaway is from our lovely sponsor Jessica Rose at Vol. 25, home to some of the most charming art around. I mean, how can you not fall for these robotic lovebirds?
The great thing is that Jessica’s artwork comes in the form of prints, t-shirts, rubber stamps, mouse pads, books and even photoshop overlays (so you can add a little hand-drawn flare to a photo). And since we couldn’t even begin to pick just a few favorite items for the giveaway, Jessica’s hooking up TWO of you with $50 gift cards towards anything in her shop (plus there’s a discount awaiting everyone on Thursday so stay tuned for that). Now you that know what’s up for grabs – how ’bout some more eye candy?
And here are all the contest deets:
- PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards anything from Vol. 25’s shops on Etsy or Zazzle.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with either the words “PUMP IT UP” or “TURN IT DOWN” depending on…
- BONUS QUESTION: … whether you love a loud and lively lifestyle or you prefer to keep things quiet and peaceful. Do you feel better surrounded by lots of activity, energizing music, or boisterous laughter? Or would you rather find yourself in an intimate conversation, enjoying soothing nature sounds, or quietly reading a book?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 21th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: TWO
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world! Woo to the hoo.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Bonnie says
“PUMP IT UP” on most days! I love energy!!
What a terrific giveaway.
jamie says
“TURN IT DOWN”
Both, a good balance.
Colleen says
PUMP IT UP & TURN IT DOWN!
I’m a LOUD person by nature. I can’t help myself, and forget it when I get together with friends. But one of my favorite activities is to curl up under a blanket and read a good book :)
Vanessa says
I’d say I like a balance between the two. Some days I like to “pump it up” and others I like to “turn it down”. Life is all about a happy balance, and surrounding yourself with inspiring things I think. I need some of Jessica’s beautiful art please!!!
Keren says
turn it down….
I’m kind of a homebody and enjoy a quite setting with nature (ocean, woods, etc) or time with a small group of friends or family…
jen ford says
TURN IT DOWN! I would love some peace and quiet to curl up with a book or the newest design magazine. Unfortunately with a 4 year old and a new born, peace and quiet is quite rare!
I LOVE the prints from Vol. 25. I have been eying the “Wherever we are together, that is home” print for quite awhile.
Rebekah says
Turn it down!
I certainly have my Pump it Up moments, but overall I tend to prefer calming, relaxing environments. It helps me observe those moments in life that might otherwise get lost in the chaos!
Thank you for doing this giveaway! I’ll probably get a print, regardless of whether I win or not! Love them!
Kelly says
TURN IT DOWN.
I’m all about decluttering our space so that it’s a relaxing place to come home to after work/school.
Brooke says
PUMP IT UP! I love staying active and keeping busy–there’s nothing better then being in room filled with people you love and telling stories and laughing our faces off…I feed off others energy and love happy/outgoing/hyper people. Then again, I do love some quiet time w/ a good book every now and then.
Patti says
Turn It Down! I’m so boring, I’d rather go for a walk in the park or sit with a good book. My favorite thing to do on weekends is hanging with good friends Saturday nights at home or a bite to eat. I love these prints!
Adele says
Pump it up and/or Turn it down! It definitely depends on my mood!
kyley says
TURN IT DOWN
tara says
pump it… down?
I am a social introvert. Love to spend time with interesting people… until the moment I have had enough, and then I need peace and quiet IMMEDIATELY. :)
Lisa M says
TURN IT DOWN! With two rambunctious boys at home, a minute of peace and quiet is a real treat!
Hillary says
Pump it up… and Turn it down!
I like the best of both worlds.
Lauren McCormick says
TURN IT DOWN… I like relaxing nights in… no crazy nights out for this girl!
Jessie (Vegan-minded) says
TURN IN DOWN! I love to relax with a good book or listen to background music. I hate really loud noises, especially loud tv!
Mary Margaret says
PUMP IT UP for about one minute and then TURN IT DOWN! sometimes i need a little PUMP IT UP to remind me of how much i love my “turned down” lifestyle.
Cheryl says
ehh – tricky.
probably Turn It Down! now because I’m into more mellow music, and loud stuff just doesn’t appeal.
Stephan says
PUMP IT UP
I love action in my life. I want to experience everything in life and do so to the fullest.
Andrea D. says
TURN IT DOWN! Definitely prefer the quiet.
Alison Kelly says
PUMP IT UP – I can’t survive without background noise.
Kallen says
PUMP IT UP! This art would be great to help me decorate and celebrate my new home.
Tiffany says
PUMP IT UP
I love to laugh loud, jam to loud music and surround myself with lots of things to do!
Aimee says
Summer: PUMP IT UP!!
Winter: TURN IT DOWN!
On a nice day, I really love nothing more than to go outside and be surrounded by people.
When it’s cold out, however, there’s really nothing better than curling up alone by the fire and reading a good book while the snow falls down.
Lauren F. says
PUMP IT UP!!!
kind of…i like to have energetic music going at home while i chill out. its a balance of both.
tara says
turn it down!
i’m totally an introvert. i do love spending time with people, but after hosting people 40 hours a week at work, i LOVE curling up with a good book (or movie) at home with my husband!
Amy says
pump it up & pump it down it just depends on the day!
Katie says
Pump it up, for sure! I love everything bright and in excess. :)
Love the prints!!
Kelly V. says
PUMP IT UP! Although, I need a little bit of turn it down every once and a while :)
Heather says
I already entered..but speaking of “swoon” – that girl that commented back in 2008 about dislking your use of the words “swanky” and “swoon” – well she irked me!
Jill says
Pump it up, then turn it down… I love a busy lifestyle full of varied and interesting people, but I also truly value quiet alone time (or time with close family, friends or the beaux), and get very grumpy if I don’t get enough of it!
Michelle says
“PUMP IT UP”
I love these art prints!!! I work as a concert manager and I am always around music (and love it), but I can absolutely appreciate a moment of silence.
Monica says
TURN IT DOWN!!!
I love peace and quiet. But, sometimes, when I’m feeling really festive, I’d surely pump it up… ;)
Paula says
Turn it down!
katie says
turn it down…usually. i like peaceful, stress-reducing environments, natural environments, low-key lifestyles…but i also really go for vibrant color and occasional flurries of activity.
Lizzie says
Pump it up! More brightness, more color, more movement–please!
Tanya says
Turn it down… I need order in the house and in my head… so calm and quiet is the way I prefer. I get frazzled easily.
AshleyW says
Turn it down!
I love to have fun, but I’m an introvert to the core – I love quiet, peaceful evenings at home with the family.
What wonderful art – thanks for the giveaway!
Oonafey @ Little Pink Houses says
Turn it down!
I prefer things to be quiet…
Heather's Garden says
TURN IT DOWN
I am a book-reading, nature-loving, sit under an umbrella on a sunny day and growl about the neighboorhood kids playing kind of a gal.
erica says
PUMP IT UP!! – ALWAYS PUMP IT UP!
I love the “POW” factor that art can really bring to any home!
Angela says
Pump it up and turn it down!
Definitely a mixture of the two.
Abbey says
Turn it down!! A good bubble bath is my idea of good time :)
Laura @ youngDCliving says
TURN IT DOWN!!!
Mellow is my motto
Adriene S. says
PUMP IT UP!
I love music and entertaining, but the casual dinner with a small group of friends or just the two of us can be quite lovely!
Meghan L. says
PUMP IT UP & then TURN IT DOWN!
Depends on the mood.. I love going out to a club with loud music, but some nights staying home and reading a book in the quiet is just as wonderful.
Laura says
TURN IT DOWN
Definitely love reading a book on the rooftop deck with a glass of wine – bliss.
Kathy says
TURN IT DOWN! I definitely need some interaction with people, but I prefer to keep it very toned down.
Those prints are soooo cute!
Jamie says
Turn it down!
I work in student affairs at a university, and believe me, my work life is often full of boisterous and energetic people and events. I love it, but at the end of the day, it is nice when I go home to have some quiet time!
