*** 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.

EDGE ME!!!! I stayed past 10:00pm last night watching Vampire Diaries< That's pretty frickin' edgy!
Sarah says
Edge me!
Living on the edge for me is buying things on craigslist! Lol
Beth says
EDGE ME! I am pretty much the antithesis of edgy, maybe a stencil will inspire me to branch out!
Kirsten says
EDGE ME!
I drive too fast and I buy old beat-up furniture on a whim in hopes of someday finding a place for it in my house. Oh – and I occasionally play music that may not be totally appropriate for 5 and 7 year old ears in the car.That’s about as crazy as I get!
Tina Bland says
Edge Me!!! We are living on the edge this summer by taking a 2 week whirlwind trip around Europe! We want to try for a little one, and figure this is our last chance to do Europe for about 18 years;) I think it would also be a little edgy of me to stencil something in a nursery!
Kelly says
Edge me!
I LOVE skydiving! :)
Evan says
Edge me. Pretty bland life. I wore a bikini last summer so that’s it
Kali says
EDGE ME!
Er, piercing my nose? That’s about as rebellious as I’ve gotten.
Victoria S says
EDGE ME! The closest I’ve come to life on the edge is snorkeling with sting rays and sharks (and TOUCHING them) while on Honeymoon in Belize! It was amazing! Nurse Sharks are surprisingly rough, but the bellies of sting rays are perfectly smooth!
Aly says
EDGE ME puppies! We went from no dogs to 2 pups in 2 weeks. Now ourcats are the ones on edge :-)
Ashley says
Edge me! A risky/edgy thing that I do almost everyday is run on a treadmill… TERRIFYING. Just look up youtube vid’s of people falling off of them and you’ll be scarred for life. :)
Katie says
Edge me! I’m way too clumsy to live too far on the edge. I mostly just play it safe.
Katie says
EDGE ME!
When I was in middle school, I stole a golf cart with chevy chase’s (the movie star’s) daughter. I was on vacation with my friend, and her cousin brought along a friend too, which was his daughter! We snuck into the (unlocked) golf club storage area and took a little joy ride!
also, im the least adventurous person ever so this is still my life highlight and this was 10 years ago :)
Gina says
EDGE ME! Kayak fishing!! I’ve seen manatees and stingrays up close and have even caught a blowfish. Thrilling, scary and fun all in one.
Madeline says
Edge me! I do not live on the edge very much but sometimes I eat dessert first!
Jessica says
Edge me! Living on the edge for me is keeping a bag of peanut butter chips stored on the top shelf of our pantry and sneaking a few each night before bed when my husband isn’t paying attention!
Crystal says
EDGE ME!
lindy says
Edge me!!!
Living on the edge for me? Being in my twenties and trying to make life beautiful on a budget
Kelly says
EDGE ME! (typically, with a Toro trimmer along the front sidewalk)
Emily says
Edge me! Moving from the English countryside to NYC on my own in January was probably living on the edge a bit! SO worth it though :D
Liz says
Edge Me! (please)
kristin says
EDGE ME!
Dayla says
EDGE ME!
Nikki says
Edge Me! I think the edgiest thing I’ve done lately is eat dessert 3 days in a row….lol, my life is exceptionally tame…
Mehgan says
EDGE ME!
Sadly my living life on the edge is similar to yours. Cookies for dinner is about the boldest I’ve gotten ;)
Nan says
EDGE ME! I’m a risk-averse lawyer by day, but on my off time, my husband and I like to snorkel with sharks, skydive, build crazy fast cars and, yes, even stencil our bathroom ceiling. We’re hoping to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro next year (and to stencil the wall behind our bed).
Kayla says
Edge me!
I spend 2+ hours a day on the NYC subway system, commuting to and from work. Most of time its fine, but sometimes I see something that really makes me contemplate my life’s choices that brought me to this god-awful commute.
Bridget says
EDGE ME! My car is a 25 year old piece of awesomeness which one can’t really understand well. Each time I get into it, I’m livin’ on the edge!
Lindsay says
EDGE ME! I am frighteningly safe, but I don’t hesitate to explore. (I pretend as though I don’t have the gps in the glovebox, for safety’s sake:))
Crystal @ 29 Rue House says
EDGE ME! I’m not very edgy – mostly by choice but I’d love to ride a motorcycle someday…as a passenger with a helmet on! BUT the driver would be a really edgy! Plus I really want to do a stencil!
Meredith says
edge me!
Valerie says
Edge me! We’ve got a nursery to decorate! Shhh!
rachel louise says
edge me! i’ve been married not even two years now and to keep things adventurous and fun, we barely plan anything. everything we do is spontaneous and random. sometimes we get into hilarious situations. sometimes they’re scary. i don’t mind a bit and i’m convinced one of these days we might just fall off the edge.
kristin blake says
EDGE ME!!! It’s been almost 6 years but the most thrilling thing I ever did was ride a skycoaster at a bachelorette party…..I still get scared thinking about it!!

Anastasia says
EDGE ME!
We bought our house before even seeing it. If that’s not living on the edge, I don’t know what is!
RLR @ Mom's Magic says
Edge me! I was just thinking that I would love to do something fun in our downstairs powder room – this could be it!
Living in the edge … Well, we are taking a week-long camping vacation this summer. That’s on the edge for us because we have always gone with friends who could help us out if we forgot something – we are relatively new to camping. But this time it’s just us – at quite a nice campground (there will be showers!) – and I. Can’t. Wait!
Shannon says
EDGE ME!I started beekeeping last spring and have some moderate success. About as risky as I get!
Ashley in NC says
EDGE ME!
Ashley says
EDGE ME!
Sometimes…. I put on my nighttime face cream…. in the morning…. just don’t tell anyone.
Laura D. says
EDGE ME! Daily life doesn’t lead to much “living on the edge” for my husband and myself, but we do hope to go skydiving before we have kids! And we want to get SCUBA certified too!
Alli says
Edge Me :)
Carrye says
Edge Me! I like to pack for trips the morning of my flight. Does that count?!
Heidi A. Seely says
Edge me!!!
Living on the edge in our family = two babies while in law school and graduating with honors!!! Everyone said I should have quit. No way dude. I live on the edge :)
bex says
EDGE ME!
The most “live life on the edge” thing I really do right now is try to balance my peanut-butter-and-honey-coated English muffin and milk during the morning commute to work. And I’m not even driving…
Danger is my middle name…
Meg says
Edge Me! The closest I come to edgy is edging the lawn!
MollyB says
“EDGE ME!”
Kelly says
Edge Me!
Not that edgy, sadly. But I did toboggan down the great wall of china last year.. that was scary.
Emily E says
edge me!
Andrea H Ross says
Edge Me!
I’m not sure I am “living on the edge” but I have a few “bucket list” things that are a bit more edgy like skydiving over switzerland or australia, doing a triathalon (a full one!), that sort of thing!
Heather W says
EDGE ME! I am pretty tame but the idea of stenciling a wall or room is pretty edgy to me! Also, I have been trying to do more DIY around the house or thrifting and repurposing what I have to something I hope I will love.
