*** 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.

My brother is a graphic designer, a few years ago he made me a print as a Christmas present and signed it. That counts, right? haha
Monica says
MOORE ME!
Well, I haven’t had too many encounters with the famous, but it was totally entertaining to me to watch my 10 year old boy get excited to have Lynn Anderson (I never promised you a rose garden fame)sign his ARM at the Ryman Theater one night!
Ashley says
“MOORE ME” I think the only autograph I’ve ever received was from the US Treasurer (the one who signs the dollar bills) when I was a Treasury intern. I have some neat mint dollars that are signed by her.
Emily says
MOORE ME!

When Harry Potter first came out as movies, I somehow found the fan addresses for some of the cast. I wrote letters to the actors that played Ron, Oliver Wood, & Neville and got autographed photos in return!
Nerd alert!!
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh says
MOORE ME!
I’ve got the autographs of just about every hair band of the late 80’s early 90’s.
Ambra says
MOORE ME!
I don’t have any famous signatures. I must not be a very good groupie! Even now, I can’t think of anyone’s autograph that I’d actually want to save. What a debbie downer….

MOORE ME! One of my dad’s best high school friends was a T-Bird in the movie Greece (Mike Tucci), and I loved that movie as a child, so my parents snagged me a copy of his scribble. :)
Kristen says
MOORE ME!
My dad got me a signed copy of the book from one of the guys on Apollo 13, Jim Lovell I think. My big brush with fame.
I just started reading this blog after the closet transformation in the old house was featured on Apartment Therapy, and I’m obsessed. So much that I forgot that the one good feature in my apartment is the giant closet so I probably don’t need that…
Aleks. Prettyshield says
MOORE ME, please please please!!!
My Brother, Sister and I got Peter Weller’s autograph. Yup, that’s right Robocop. We met him at the Thailand airport where he was filming Robocop 2 (I think). This was back in the late 80’s when Robocop was the coolest thing.
I have a playroom just aching to get a little Candice…hahaha. Actually we have a bathroom, master bedroom, dining, kitchen, etc etc etc. Let’s just say this prize would go to good use and be the cat’s meow.
Thanks! Aleks.

When I was in grade 9 (I think?) I went to my first concert (The Philosopher Kings) at a youth center in my home town and got the band’s autograph. I remember being so nervous to be so close to them!

Athena says
MOORE ME!
It’s been forever since I’ve had anything autographed, but my most prized possession (for years) was a book autographed by Davey Jones from the Monkeys. I think I was 10 when I got it (in 1990?) and a HUGE fan. Me<—-Dork

MOORE ME! I have a signed copy of Colin Powell’s book.

I got Jim Davis’s autograph when I was in first grade. I sent him pictures I drew of Garfield, and he sent me back a print of Garfield and Odie signed by him, and a nice letter! I always thought that was really kind of him to reply!
Michelle W says
MOORE ME!
I have signed books, my favorite being a cookbook signed by The Pioneer Woman. :)

I’m pretty sure the last autograph I got was 20 years ago at Disneyland. I believe his name was Mickey. ;)

My husband I did a culinary tour of Spain’s most famous restaurants last Spring and scored one of the chef’s signatures on our menu. It is framed in our kitchen.

MOORE ME!!!!!!!!!!

MOORE ME!!
I found a signed first edition of The Lovely Bones at a thrift store on Long Island. They also had five other first editions of the same book (not signed) so I feel like they were all dropped off together. Score!!
Andrea says
Moore ME!
Oh my goodness, autographs. My husband is an autograph freak! He and his two brothers (ages 27, 24, & 22) are obsessed with athlete autographs. If I had to guess, I’d say that they have over 500 signed baseballs, just as many signed cards, and probably 250 signed photos of atheletes. This is all besides the occasional jersey, basketball, football, or baseball bat. The most amazing thing to me is that they hardly ever purchase presigned items. At least 90% of what they own, they’ve gotten the autographs themselves. Talk about an obsessive hobby haha :)
Heather says
Moore Me!
I just got a signed Congratulations postcard from Mickey and Minnie Mouse for my wedding! lol
Amanda says
Moore me!
The only autographs that I’ve ever gotten were from some Buffalo Sabres in the 90’s and of course some Princesses from Disney world
Gretchen says
MOORE ME!
Sad to report – no autographs.
Clare says
More Me!
Sad to say but I have never gotten an autograph. I did have my picture taken with one of my favorite singers, while pregnant, and he touched my belly. I nearly died. The picture is in my sons nursery to this day.
Christie says

When I was 10 years old, I wrote to President Reagan about the Statue of Liberty renovations, and he sent me four 8×10 photographs (real ones on photographic paper, stamped White House on the back, not just copies on slick paper), and he signed one of them. It was very exciting! I still have them.
Katie F says
MOORE ME!
The only thing I can think of is when I got the Disney characters signatures while visiting Disney World at age 10… :)
Kelly says
Moore Me! I think the only autograph I have is from Eddie Albert from Green Acres. My dad loved that show so we would watch old reruns growing up so he got me an autographed picture on Christmas…kind of as a joke, but I love it:)
Ashton N. says

Our pastor autographed our Marriage License, so now I am officially the luckiest girl in the world, until death do us part!
