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 honestly can’t think of anything I regularly do that is living on the edge. I am gutsy in the moment, but those moments don’t often.

    I’m pretty much a play by the rules kind of girl, but I have been known to live life to the fullest always. So if that means “living on the edge”, I’m up for it!

    The most edgy thing I do is ride any type of roller coaster. I would love work up the nerve to go skydiving at least once in my life.

    I’m not much of a risk taker anymore, sadly, but I did go skydiving when I was 18 and I’ve been thinking about going again.

    EDGE ME! I LOVE avocado, but it gives me horrible stomach aches, so I live on the edge by seeing how many bites I can take before I start feeling awful. It is usually only 2.

    EDGE ME! I’m definitely not an edgy person – most exciting thing I’ve done is scrapped a large, traditional wedding for a destination wedding on the beach in Mexico (it was beautiful, laid back and we saved quite a few pennies!).

    EDGE ME! I like to rearrange furniture on a monthly basis. That’s daring, especially the part when my husband gets home and realizes what I’ve done. Or um, possibly a whole room that I may or may not have painted…

    Would it be considered edgy that my husband and I got a 100lb shelter dog even though neither of us has had a dog before? He’s a sweetheart, but it’s been an education.

    I wish I could tell you I regularly live on the edge, but, well. That would be a lie. However, if I win I’ll be stenciling our hall bath which for me would qualify as edgy!

    I don’t do anything regularly daring, that’s for sure….but most recently I helped reroof an entire small house and I am NOT a fan of heights. So between being on top of a roof under construction with questionable existing decking and climbing up and down a ladder…I’d say I lived on the edge that day for sure!
