*** 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…

Christina Bailey says
edge me….scuba diving is edgy right?
Lizz Kerr says
EDGE ME! Sometimes I don’t tape the wall when I am painting baseboards. CRAZY RIGHT?!!?
Paula I. says
EDGE ME!
I am as far from a living on the edge gal as you can imagine. I’m with you on the second dessert though!
Annie says
EDGE ME!
Yesterday I jay-walked
kristen says
EDGE ME! The only way I live life on the edge is by holding a job that just barely lets me pay my bills and student loans. it’s a harrowing balancing act each month!
Amber says
EDGE ME! I totally don’t live on the edge. I like order and plans. But I will say the craziest think I have done recently is to jump on a plane by myself and fly from Indiana to New Zealand. Husband and kids and everything behind I went of to visit my little brother. Now that was edgy for me. Even though it was super planned.
DJ says
EDGE ME!
Haley Hill says
EDGE ME!
I wouldn’t say it’s super thrilling or outrageous, but we love to rock climb! It’s so much fun and I guess to some people, it’s pretty intense but we love it. :)
Kay says
EDGE ME!
I have a 4 year old son who is all boy, including climbing door frames and jumping off furniture. That’s all a mother needs to get her blood pumping.
Lisa says
Edge Me! I think stenciling is the way to go for my entryway.
I live life on the edge by staying up past midnight most nights and then going into work early, early…it’s those quiet hours that I get the most done!
Becky says
EDGE ME!
I also don’t really live on the edge! Unless you count renovating our third home…
Lori says
EDGE ME! I’m typically a very cautious person, so the most crazy thing I do is go on an occasional ride-a-long with my police officer–husband. Always an exciting night!
Sheila K. says
Edge Me! Right now i am living on the edge by redecorating our house! Committing to paint colors is going to send me over the edge!
Tracy says
Edge Me!!
Amy @ a new old house says
EDGE ME!
I am so far from the edge now-a-days… don’t even know what the edge would look like!
Sue says
Edge Me! I take risks in the way I decorate my new home. I didn’t have the freedom to do so before. Now that it’s just me, I’ve got no one to offend but myself if I get it wrong.
bridget says
Edge me! Oh gosh the list could be long before I had kids I would go clif jumping, from quarries to ocean cliffs of Jamaica. Then I met my husband who I found out had a major fear of heights when we were on vacation in Ireland, I crawled out to the edge of the cliffs of moher to look down and i looked back to see him running away with my big girly handbag on his shoulder. Later found he couldn’t even watch because it made him so nervous :-)
I have since dramatically calmed my risk taking! But I have helped my husband with his fear (he made it across the antrim rope bridge…barely but he did it!)
Karen H. says
EDGE ME!
I live on the edge by working full-time with middle school girls. Heyo!
Lindsay says
EDGE ME!
I think about living life on the edge, but I guess I stay pretty far from it in reality.
Christine P says
EDGE ME! I like to take zip line tours when I can. Not to dangerous but definitely fun!
Jesse says
EDGE ME!!!!!!!!
Hmmmmm…..life on the edge?!?! I am a pretty safe person. :) Does that make me boring?! Haha.
Jorja says
EDGE ME!
The riskiest business I ever encounter is actually watching the movie Risky Business. Pretty sad, I know.
Nikki G says
EDGE ME!!
Sometimes I start listening to Christmas music BEFORE Thanksgiving. I know. Insanity.
Rebecca says
Edge me! I have gone skydiving and bungee jumping.
Mandi says
Edge Me!
The riskiest thing in my life is probably just by proxy: my husband is a PA-Flight Surgeon in the US Coast Guard. Helicopters in bad weather, that sort of thing. I try to hedge my bets there by making tame choices myself, lol.
Nancy says
Edge me! I watch movies about others living on the edge.
Holley says
Edge me! I guess the edgiest thing I do is moving to random cities where I have no connections. I lived in one place for about 10 years, realized I’d been there for 10 years, freaked out, and moved across the country. Didn’t like that place, so (after two years) moved again. Why not, right?
Deanna says
EDGE ME! I didn’t punch my husband in the face while driving 120 mph in our rented Mustang GT from Las Vegas to The Grand Canyon on our 10th wedding anniversary trip. All I could see were the headlines in our local newspaper “Local couple dies in fiery crash on anniversary trip…” but every time I looked over at him, he had a GIANT, teenage-boy fantasy smile on his face. Gotta love “boys” and their rented toys.
Sarah says
Edge me! Not a whole lot of edgy activity here – although (depending on the day) skydiving/bungee jumping are still on my list of things I want to try!
Robyn R. says
EDGE ME! I’ve always pretty much played it safe and now with a baby at home, living on the edge is something I do only in my daydreams. Trust me, running away from it all often seems pretty seductive!
Dawn says
Edge me!
Lately I’ve been staying up until 10 pm. That’s life on the edge for me.
Bree says
EDGE ME!
well..lets see…my husband and I are planning on starting to “think” about having kids next fall…
For someone who took three years to finally decide on a house to buy,five years to get engaged, and didn’t decide on the location of our wedding until about two months before the date…I’d call the baby thinking “living on the edge” for me! :)
Ann says
EDGE ME! I’m ready to stencil my stairs.
Alison says
EDGE ME!
Leah says
EDGE ME!
Just watched all the videos over on their site…. oh my… I had no idea!!
I don’t like to live on the edge to much. However, there was a brief time when I went out on 10 dates in 2 months.. that’s pretty much on the edge for me. Lucky.. there is no more blind dating for me :)
Carly says
EDGE ME!
kasey says
Edge me! I got nothing! But I would love to do a stencil in our 1/2 bath
shannon says
Edge me! But I’m so not a risky person. I did buy a bright red couch for my new house because I fell in love with it, even though I had no idea how I would decorate around it.
rho says
edge me!!! i’ve taken up zumba recently. that doesn’t really scream “edge,” but since i have no dance skills it seemed pretty risky to me. haha
Heather Francis says
Edge Me! I started taking martial arts at the ripe old age of 35. It’s always an adventure!
Nickie says
EDGE ME!
Skydiving!
Lisa says
Edge me! I live on the edge by not filling up my gas tank until I reach the last drops.
Katie says
Edge me! Living life on the edge by not working summer school and trying to save money… it’s not working too good :)
Alyssa says
Edge me! I’m taking 35 children into the hills of Tennessee to go camping next week…that’s pretty edgy! (or at least my nerves will be!)
Chris says
EDGE ME!
Ummm, I trusted my husband when he promised through thick and thin that we’d stay married. In today’s society, that is some edgy living! We also decided to have a whole crew of kids and threw in some adopted children as well. That is about the extent of our craziness.
Amanda B says
EDGE ME!
I just bought a new condo, that is pretty crazy for me considering it’s tough for me to spend money. But it has been awesome so far, much needed. Now just trying to get it all fixed up and decorated.
Sue says
EDGE ME! The only “living on the edge” thing that comes to mind is throwing together our church ceremony and party in about six weeks (if that). Counting down to June 16th!
Terri says
EDGE ME! I lived on the edge when we picked up and moved from MD to FL for a year! But now we are back and bought a house so things are pretty non-edgy these days :-)
trish says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge when I’m two stories up on a ladder painting the house! It’s a long way down!
Linda S says
Edge Me!
I live on the edge when I decline the extra plastic bag the grocery clerk offers for my meat!!
(It’s already in a plastic bag – why add another??)
