*** 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…

I have several autographs curtosey of my dad who collects them. My favorite is one from Charlie Daniels who sent me a letter and picture after my dad wrote him telling him I am a fan and I was having surgery.
Kate says
MOORE ME!! My husband is a baseball card nerd so we probably have 2000-3000 autographed minor league baseball cards in our bonus room!

Amanda says
Moore me!!
I’ve never had a famous person’s autograph but I (and a bunch of my friends) did follow Rob Lowe around Monmarte in France trying to get a picture or autograph. Sadly he wasn’t very nice and we didn’t get one. :-(

MOORE ME!!
The one and only autograph I ever got was the band Yellowcard when I met them at Warped Tour years ago :)
Still have it!!
T.D says
MOORE ME!
I have many signatures of my highschool favorite rock bands- including my personal favorites after waiting outside in the ‘blistering cold’– wait that’s an Eminem lyric. The sad thing is they sit in a box awating some cool shadow box.
Tricia says
moore me!
I got the signature of the lead singer in my favorite band (Carbon Leaf from Richmond – check ’em out!!) it’s not nearly as fancy as everyone else, but I was a happy camper :)
Patty Mai says
Moore me!
Lisella says
MOORE ME!
When I was 13, my best friend and I got to go to the X-Games that was being held in my state, that year. I got a few amateur, or not well-known skateboarders’ signatures, along with Andy MacDonald’s. I didn’t know at the time, that he was a big time famous skater, until I went back to school and told a friend that I’d met him, and he couldn’t believe it. After that, I stared at his signature every day for probably a week, haha!
Sarah says
MOORE ME! I think the last autograph I got was Mickey Mouse when I was 5 at Disney World… or maybe I was 25, don’t judge.
Jessica says
Moore Me!
I’m not sure that I have ever received an autograph, unless we count anything my grade shool teachers needed my parents autograph for!
Colleen C. says
MOORE ME!…I am sad to say that I don’t have any john hancocks from any famous people
Heather Bailey says
MOORE ME!
I have an “autograph” from our friend’s daughter. It was actually an envelope that went on our wedding gift! It was just so cute how she wrote… “Bailey and Misses Bailey”. The daughter doesn’t know my husband’s first name because everyone calls him by our last name. We totally framed it and hung it in our hallway.
Kim says
MOORE ME!
Erin says
MOORE ME!
When I was in high school I got an autographed picture of Austin Peck from Days of Our Lives. It was the highlight of my YEAR! I didn’t meet him though :(
Maggie says
Moore Me!!
When we got married in 2009, we sent an invite to Barack & Michelle Obama, they declined, but we got a card back for best wishes signed by them both. (Probably robo-stamped, but whatevs.)
Jenn A says
MOORE ME!!
Gotta love a fellow Canuck! We come up with some strange ideas, but the always seem to work. weird Eh?
Alice says
Moore Me! I have some signed books. Julia Childs is my favorite. Candice Olson would be wonderful.

Moore Me!! I haven’t gotten any autographs lately but I do remember being very proud getting all the Disney character signatures at Disney World when I was little!
Mariya says
MOORE ME! In high school I got a signature of two of the 311 band members at the HFStival. It was very exciting at the time…
SarahN says

Candice would be the first autograph I have received. Aside from yearbook signatures :)

I have a signed copy of a few Casting Crowns cd’s. I got to see them front row in concert and they were amazing! Blessed beyond words!
maureen says
Moore me!!!! Anybody out there remember “Trading Spaces”? I was a crazy fan..which is odd because most rooms looked like they were designed by a girl scout troop and done with 2 weeks worth of dues…I digress…I Stood on line for a picture signed by frank and the whole gang…I still have it tucked away somewhere..:)
ErinY says
MOORE ME!
Haha I was totally that cool 12 year old who got Hanson’s autograph, and of course was speechless as I shook their hands. Oh to be young again-not. I also won an autographed copy of Harriet the Spy in elementary school so Michelle Trachtenberg and Rosie O’Donnell make my list as well.
Emily B says
MOORE ME! I love my Kevin Smith autographed DVD case that I got during my Clerks Quick Stop road trip. Yes, I am a nerd.
michelle says
Moore Me!
Stacy says
MOORE ME!!
Maya says
Moore me! I have never had an autograph!
Kala says
Moore Me! This would be such a big help. We need so much paint for our first home that we are currently under contract for. I’ve got pinks and wood paneling that need to be painted.
Between my husband and I we have signatures from football players, hockey players, Country music singers, Rock bands and I even have the signature of the principal from Saved by the Bell. Me and some friends shared the hotel elevator with him at a conference we went to. Too bad it wasn’t Mark Paul Gossler (Zack) that would have been a much more exciting elevator ride.
Cindy O. says
MOORE ME!
Thanks.
brynne says
MOORE ME!
I got Tina Fey’s signature at a book signing and she gave us dinner recommendations. Win :)
Andrea says
I have ZERO luck with celebrities–even when they’re teeming in my hometown during TIFF! The closest I’ve gotten to a celeb autograph is an autograph from my favourite hockey player, Doug Gilmour (Toronto Maple Leaf alum).
Erica R says
MOORE ME! :)
When I was 12 years old, I got Jonathan Taylor Thomas’ authograph. I was in his fan club (dork alert!) and was so excited when I got a signed picture of him! I displayed it proudly on my night stand forever.
Now, as a 26 year old, my favorite “autographs” are the drawings that my nephews give me. I plan on framing them and hanging them in my bedroom once we redecorate! <3
Amanda says
MOORE ME!
I haven’t gotten any cool autographs as an adult but as a child my book full of scribbles from the Disney characters at Disneyland was a prized posession.
Amanda says
MOORE ME!
No famous people autographs for me – just art signed by my 4-year-old :-)
Janet says
“MOORE ME” Just a printed signature of Willie Nelson’s on a Farm Aid bandana.
Lisa says
MOORE ME!
I got an autograph of the members of boys to men :)
cporoski says

Amy @ a new old house says
MOORE ME!
Best autograph we have is a Cal Ripkin signed baseball that my hubby’s best high school buddy gave him as a groomsman’s gift.
Jess B says
MOORE ME!
I got Charlaine Harris’ autograph on one of her Sookie Stackhouse novels (aka the books True Blood is based on). She was great to meet in person. I geek out over authors like most people do over movie/music celebs.
Hannah says
MOORE ME!!
I’ve received a signed book from James Dobson, and in High School I was on the Presidents Honor Roll and received a “signed” letter from Bill Clinton – I’m pretty sure it was a fancy signature-stamp though.
