*** This contest is now closed – see who won below!***
And this week’s random winner is… Stacy (who says “when I was little, I got the local radio dj’s autograph and thought I was so cool! Looking back, it is just funny how silly it was!”). Congrats Stacy!
We love us some Candice Olson (and still pinch ourselves that our faces share a webpage with her over on BenjaminMoore.com). So we sweet talked our way into a little Benjamin Moore / Candice Olson prize for you guys – including a signed copy of her latest book, Candice Olson Bedrooms. So once you’ve torn yourself away from petting her signature (not that we’d do that, ok we totally would) and are ready to put that Olson-spiration to use, Benjamin Moore’s gonna lend a hand with two gallons of their Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, a $50 gift card, and your very own Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck. And if that’s not enough of a Candice fix for ya, you can enter to win a personal design consultation from her over on Benjamin Moore’s site.
- PRIZE: Two gallons of Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, $50 gift card, a Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck and signed copy of Candice Olson Bedrooms courtesy of Benjamin Moore.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MOORE ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what other autograph have you snagged? Did you get your favorite band to sign an album cover? Or receive a signed letter from a big name public figure? Maybe you got a big novelty check signed by Ed McMahon? Or just a sweet crayon-drawing signed by a niece or nephew?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Sept 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States & Canada (we couldn’t leave out Candice’s homeland!)
- 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 Benjamin Moore.

The coolest autograph I have is a Rent Playbill signed by Anthony Rapp. It’s from the national tour a few years back. We went to the stage door after the show, and my brother managed to lunge over 3 or 4 rows of people and get ours signed. :-)

Emily says
MOORE ME!
It’s more the autograph I didn’t get…when I went to Disney World as a kid, I really wanted Pluto’s autograph, but he didn’t have hands, just paws! No autograph, but at least I got a picture. :)
Nikole says
MOORE ME!
I once stood in line for 3 hours at Macy’s to get an autograph on my perfume bottle from Sarah Jessica Parker. Yes, I am a Sex in the City addict and it was totally worth it!
KatieV says
MOORE ME!
Back when my family and I lived in Massachusetts, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) came to my house! Well, he came to my front door–trick-or-treating with some little kid (it wasn’t Liv…). He called my mom and me beautiful and then signed my Get a Grip CD.

MOORE ME!
I have a ticket from a Barenaked Ladies show that Steven Paige signed. Besides that I wrote to YTV (A children’s television channel here in the Great White North) and got a letter back from one of the VJs… Yep, my life has been touched by the rich and famous all right.
Nichole says
MOORE ME! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a signature from someone famous, but my nieces and nephews do sign their artwork which makes me smile :)
Lacey Kucheran says
MOORE ME!!
I got designer Samantha Pynn’s (another good Canadian Designer) signature at our home show :). First time this small town girl actually met one of the people on HGTV (which I may watch obsessively :p)
Thanks for spreading the love up to Canada!

Julie says
MOORE ME! *
Marisa says
MOORE ME! I got George Clinton (as in, & the Funkadelic)’s autograph in the Nashville airport. I was coming back from a campus visit at Vanderbilt where he had just played. Everyone else in the terminal was like “Who’s this crazy old guy with the big head of dreads and tie dye shirt?” — I, on the other hand, had just watch PCU (classic flick with Jeremy Piven) and took my 18yo self right up to him. Btw, we were both flying back to Newark – Jersey proud, Sherdogg! :)
Kate d says
MOORE ME! Just lots of special love notes over here from our 2 boys!
Julia says
Moore Me! I love Candice!
I have gotten a handful of autographs-I wrote to John Travolta and he sent a signed picture (or at least his people did). That is my best one!
Karishma says
Moore Me!
Lindsey says
MOORE ME!
I have an autographed CD from TSO. :)
Kari Macleod says
Moore me! Eric Carle’s signature. And as a preschool teacher he is my hero!
Liz says
MOORE ME!
Can you believe I’ve never gotten an autograph from anybody? I’d be way too intimidated to approach any sort of celebs!
Gretchen says
MOORE ME! I’ve never been big on autographs, but I do have a signed copy of L.A. Confidential. I’m a big Elmore Leonard fan, and I got to meet him at an event a few years back. We even named our dog Raylan after one of his characters.
Katie Rose says
Moore Me!
When I was in college I religiously checked Perez Hilton’s website. When his book came out (after I had graduated), my roomie/best friend remembered my obsession and bought me a copy, mailed it to Mr. Hilton, and had him sign it for me. While I no longer find myself checking his site, it is kind of cool to say I have his signature!
Katie says
Moore me!
I don’t have any autographs other than Disney characters!
Amanda says
MOORE ME! I have an autographed picture from Brad Paisley who I met last year!
Johanna says
MOORE ME! I have several signed pieces of artwork from cousins!
Anna says
MOORE ME! I don’t think I have ever gotten an autograph – outside of camp autograph books when I was a kid. Seems like Candace would be a good start for a collection.

Abigail says
MOORE ME! I’ve only gotten autographs from children drawing me pictures. Though I do insist on them then.
Nicole says
Moore me!!
Sarah says
MOORE ME!
The only autographs I’ve snagged were the characters at Disney – but when you’re a kid those are the best ones!
D.B. says
MOORE ME PLEASE!!!
No famous autographs here, just some very sweet and precious ones from my nieces!
Christina Honkonen says
MOORE ME!! I once got a signed copy of ice skater Ekaterina Gordeeva’s book. I don’t think many people know who she is but I’m still obsessed and proud of the book. ;) Great giveaway!
