*** 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.
Christina says
EDGE ME! I live pretty far from the edge – painting my guest room a dark color is about as wild as it gets!
Adrienne says
EDGE ME!! No living on the edge for me. I stay away from all cliffs. But maybe I should try peeking over the edge a little.
Kaitlyn says
Edge Me! I edged out every wall of my house using only the paint brush you recommended… no tape!
Kat says
EDGE ME! I’ve spent the day edging the monster-garden I may have been a bit over-ambitious about. I came in to see this giveaway and the title and started laughing!
Sheena says
EDGE ME!!!!
if you count having twins edgy, then i’m pretty edgy
Katie Rose says
Edge Me!
My driving to most people would probably be considered “living life on the edge”. I am a bit aggressive and may have treated this everyday task like a NASCAR race at times. But I have yet to get in an accident (knock on wood!) and consider my self safe nonetheless.
Beth says
EDGE ME!
This weekend, we totally stayed up until 11 watching TV. REBELS.
Rachel Hansen says
EDGE ME!
I’m going ziplining in Costa Rica this fall!
Margie M says
Edge Me
Jamie says
Edge me! I am somewhat of a stickler for rules…but I have been known to cut the tag of a mattress ;)
Meghan T says
EDGE ME! Moving into our new place in 3 weeks and would love the challenge!
Olivia says
EDGE ME! I ride my bike into ponds… wait that was an accident :)
Karen says
EDGE ME!
Laura says
EDGE ME!
I work with high schoolers…does that count?
Janna L says
Edge Me
Amandelin says
EDGE ME! I…recently decided, at age 31, to try going back to school full time. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Andrea says
Edge Me! I can’t think of anything, not even jokingly!
Amanda Sch. says
EDGE ME!
I am pretty much edge-less other than deciding to move 1,000 miles away from my family this past October. No waffling or second guessing (which I am notorious for) happened and I love it in San Antonio!
Sarah says
EDGE ME! I’ve been mountain biking more lately… pretty edgie for me!
Jennie S. says
EDGE ME!! for me living on the edge is placing the baby monitor, volume at full blast, on my front porch and going to my front door neighbors(across the street) and having a glass of wine.
erica says
Edge Me!
pretty much the only thing i do on the edge is staying up too late to finish a book, even though i know i will be insanely tired the next day for work
Faith says
Edge me! Closing on a major fixer upper 3 weeks before our wedding (four weeks before we would move in) was pretty living on the edge.
Elizabeth says
EDGE ME!
My career as a middle school teacher keeps me “on edge!” Does that count?
Hillary says
Edge Me! Taking my 2 year old to a theme park next week. . . that’s the edge of insanity, right?
Jenelle says
Edge me!
How do I live life on the edge? …ummm… [cue the crickets chirping]
Hmmm, the most daring thing I do is to jump in Lake Michigan every year on May 1. It’s usually freezing cold weather (early May isn’t that warm in Michigan, and even less so right on the coast), and the water is even colder. We do it in honor of my uncles, who did the same every year when they were alive.
Other than that, I wear my seatbelt, apply sunblock, and cook my chicken thoroughly. I don’t like taking risks.
Jodie M. says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge by finding wonderful curbside finds!
Ashley says
EDGE ME!
I live in Rhode Island, so any time I get in a car is pretty much living on the edge here…
Lauren H says
Edge me! I choose to hang out with adolescents all day (I’m a middle school teacher). How crazy, right?!
Emily Gravitt says
EDGE ME! Watching True Blood is about as edgy as I get. ; )
Parke W says
EDGE ME! I live on the edge every time I go scuba diving
Allison says
Edge Me! I normally don’t do anything on the edge, but 6 years ago I started “racing” my car every summer with my husband on the road course.
Katie C. says
edge me!
With my limited time and budget I try to be very deliberate about meal planning, but in the summer I get a CSA that doesn’t tell me what I’m getting until about an hour before I pick up my box… so I can’t plan my meals out at all! Add to that the adventure of getting veggies I’ve never even heard of (hon tsai tai, anyone?) and it feels pretty risky to me.
Allison O. says
EDGE ME!
I live much closer to the middle than the edge :)
Ashley W says
Edge me, with a 3 and 1 year old, actually getting a babysitting and going out is living on the edge for us now.
Christina says
EDGE ME!
Driving the Road to Hana (like you guys recently did!) felt pretty on the edge to me. :)
Stephanie says
Edge Me! Hmm…I don’t live so much on the edge….leaving my kids outside for a minute while I run inside pee, maybe. I know so edgy!
Jennifer P says
Edge me! Nothing really — well jogging next to a bust street.
Jenny H says
EDGE ME! Grocery shopping with two kiddos in tow! ;)
Mia says
“EDGE ME!” I live on the edge just by getting up!
Amanda B says
EDGE ME! I don’t live life too dangerously. Dangerous to me is going on a shopping spree!! haha!
Alisa says
EDGE ME!
I purposely got pregnant/had my baby in the last year of getting my MFA. I’m often told I’m crazy, but I’ve decided today it’s edgy :)
Alisa says
oh, and I didn’t take a maternity leave. That’s what’s apparently considered crazy.
kimyen says
edge me! life on the edge to me is just eating ice cream and hope that the walking helps me not to gain weight :p
Heidi says
Edge Me! Having babies has definitely hampered my living on the edge, but I wouldn’t have it any other way :)
Caroline says
EDGE ME!
I moved across the country with only two weeks notice and jumped right into a new job – it was pretty crazy! But it left little time to decorate my new apt, which I’m finally getting around to now!
Jen @ Domesticated Nomad says
EDGE ME! Um, kids kind of changed my attitude about living on the edge…it’s been awhile since I’ve done anything crazy. But stenciling with a four year old around who loves to “help,” well, that might be living on the edge!
Bibiana says
EDGE ME! I’d say I’m living my life on the edge! Traveling solo around the world, remodeling my home with just my two bare hands… I think you guys don’t give yourself enough credit! Leaving the security of your old jobs to live off of blogging is pretty edgy! And ripping out all your wall cabinets is pretty edgy too!
Courtney says
Edge me! I’m pretty un-edgy. You might call me spherical.
Kelly says
Edge me! I teach math to middle schoolers on a daily basis, and coach high school swim during my free time. I sometimes find it crazy, but I always find it rewarding.
MaryAnn says
EDGE ME! I quit my very comfortable job to pursue something that I was more passionate about and it has made all the difference!
Nicole says
EDGE ME!
Haha, balancing my checking account each month while paying off student loans. Yay law school! Living on the edge.
