*** 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…

Moore Me! I do have some signed trading cards from a local college basketball team that I got when I was in 6th grade…I thought I was on top of the world, until I later realized none of them ever played outside of college and are unknown today.

MOORE ME!
I have Joann Chang’s (well my mom does now since I gifted it) of Boston’s Flour Bakery. I definitely recommend that as a Boston book tour visit! She makes homemade oreos and sticky buns that beat Bobby Flay’s!

I love Candice Olson, and although I don’t have an autograph from anyone famous (yet!) I look forward to having my Young House Love book signed by you guys when you go on your book tour!
Maybe you should pay Candice a visit in her (and my) homeland! :)

MOORE ME!
I don’t have anything exciting, but my two-year-old owns two signed Oliver Jeffers books. He’s a children’s author/illustrator, and her godmother is a curator at an art gallery where his work was displayed, so last Christmas and Birthday, she got signed copies of “Up and Down” and “The Heart and the Bottle”.

My favorite autographs are from Disneyland when I was 9 years old. Most of my family ended up getting sick on the trip, so my dad and I spent a memorable day together at the park. He bought me an autograph album and we went on a hunt to get as many characters autographs that we could. I still have it to this day. :)
Careen says
My uncle was a doorman at the Sheraton in Pittsburgh in the 80’s and he got Jon Bon Jovi’s signature on a scrap of paper and gave it to me.

Sarah Gilliam says
MOORE ME!
I’m always too star-stuck to ask famous people for their autographs…but I did recently use TI’s float at a water park in Atlanta.
We were in line for a slide when he and his crew walked up and told management they wanted to ride. They got to take the next available floats and go. When I came off, I was next in line! So my tush has slid where his tush has slid….

Moore Me!

Moor Me!
When I was 7 or 8 I got Jim Morrissey’s autograph. He used to play for the Chicago Bears, and he was eating pizza at our local pizza place. I had NO CLUE who he was, but my Dad told me to run over there at get his autograph. So I did. Oh the fame!

MOORE ME!!
Janelle D says
MOORE ME, please! Yes, another Canadian giveaway. I haven’t received any famous autographs that I can remember. I do practice my own signature all the time though when I doodle. It makes me look vain, but really I’m just trying to avoid being weird by doodling someone elses name. Haha.
Lara says
Moore Me!
I’ve never gotten anything autographed before… Well, except for some sweet art by my nephew. Probably one of the most prized pieces I own.
Jen says
MOORE ME!
I’ve only collected autographs from Canadians (glad to see another Canadian-friendly giveaway!).
True story – I was given an autograph book as a child and asked for my mother’s autograph. She said NO quite firmly and rationalized that I would use it to forge her signature on school notes.
I was six.
And apparently a thug.
Katie says
MOORE ME! I get Broadway Playbills signed when I can… the best one was a show from a few years ago with Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper and Paul Rudd — they all signed it — total score!!
Elizabeth E says
MOORE ME…no autograph, but I did meet and get a picture with Stacy and Clinton from “What Not to Wear”
