*** 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.

I got Alex Rodriguez’ autograph one time…you know, the baseball player? I ran into him at the Cheesecake Factory in Coconut Grove, Florida, and he was SUCH a jerk that I regretted it instantly! :(

I got on a drum head the signatures of all the guys from Counting Crows about 9 years ago.
Julie says
MOORE ME! Love Candice Olson!
Funnily enough, while I’ve seen lots of famous people up close, I’ve never asked for an autograph. I’ve been to a few author signings…do those count??
bdaiss says
Moore me!
I haven’t picked up any signatures in awhile, so let me wow you with my past: all 4 of the Monkees. The Beach Boys. Tristan Rogers (Aussie spectacular who used to be on General Hospital). The Hoff. Yup. I was rockin’ the 80’s. (For the record I am an ancient 38 this year.)
catie says
Moore me!! Never gotten a cool autograph but I got a phone call from Usher…my mom ran into him at a hotel and asked if he would say hello on her cell phone! So funny.

Moore me!
I got Robert Goulet signature when I was 10 and in love with musicals it was very exciting at the time. I think I’ve since lost the picture.
Katie says
Moore Me!
I have an autograph from Bryce Avery of The Rocket Summer. I was beyond psyched.
Marilee says
MOORE ME!!
A good friend and I managed to get Feist’s autograph on her play list for a concert she gave in her/our hometown of Calgary, Alberta. My friend was an even bigger fan that I am, so he got to keep the autograph and framed it for his home. Great concert though!
jav says
Moore me!
I never had anything autographed.. can you believe it :(
LauraE says
MOORE ME!
Thanks for including the Canadians!
As a sidenote: I grew up watching Candice on Cityline with my Mom since her very early days here in Toronto.
As a kid I was lucky enough to snag “the twins” autographs from a Toronto Show here in the late 80’s/early 90’s called Degrassi Junior High. Looking back they were probably just as excited to give their autographs as I was to get them!

Moore Me!
jia says
Moore me!
no autograph ever.. so sad :(
Jenn says
MOORE ME! In high school one of my friends got me an autographed photo of Sean Astin. I was totally in love with him. We have moved so many times, I’m not even sure if I still have it. I need to look for that thing…
Liz C. says
MOORE ME!
To date the only one I’ve gotten is my sister-in-law’s, who just released her first novel (girlchild by Tupelo Hassman). Might be worth something someday if her book takes off!
Alicia says
MOORE ME!!!
The most recent autograph I got was Gretchen Rubin’s, when she was signing her upcoming (or maybe it’s out by now) book, Happier at Home at BEA (Book Expo America). I mentioned to her that I learned about her first book (The Happiness Project) on your blog and she told me that she had connected with you guys and were emailing back and forth!
Terra says
Moore Me!!
No famous autographs yet, but I do have some pretty awesome art custom designed by my 3 y/o niece! :)
Nicole M. says
MOORE ME!
Well, when I went to Disney World as a kiddie, I was on a mission to get autographs from all the Disney characters. I had a whole book of them, haha!
Andrea says
MOORE ME!
No real noteworthy autographs… but I do have a whole autograph book full of Disney characters and princesses from my childhood :-)
Lynn says
“MOORE ME”
I have a signature book full from when I danced in the Great Tap Reunion many moons ago (as a middle schooler). All of the greatest tappers of all time were there and kindly signed my book.
Amy says
“MOORE ME”!!!
I have had Ina Garten sign every one of her cookbooks for me. LOVE her!

MOORE ME! Pretty please!
Cat says
Moore me! I got George Bell’s signature (’80s Blue Jay player) and I was thrilled beyond belief. I made my family call me George for a few weeks following that big day.
Kelly says
Moore me! I was just as excited as my preschooler last winter to score the autographs of four of the hundred acre woods friends at a lunch in Disney World. Winnie the Pooh is her very favorite and seeing her face light up as he signed her book was totally worth the cost of the trip. :-)
Katie says
Moore me please!
Rachel says
MOORE ME
I think the only autograph I have is a professor’s who signed a paper he wrote. Nerdy, I know.
Kara says
MOORE ME, please.
Abby says
Moore Me!
My brother in law is the lead singer of Motion City Soundtrack so I’ve def got that autograph. :)
Tara says
MOORE ME!
I didn’t get an autograph, but rather a picture with Joe Mauer (professional baseball player). A picture’s worth a thousand words, right?!?
amy says
MOORE ME!!
Painting the family room and might be settling in on Pashmina & Marscapone (on Candice’s list of fav colors). How wonderful would two free gallons be?
My Mom gave us two Waterford crystal wine glasses for our first anniversary and one of them is signed by the designer. We thought it was kind of crazy when she gave them to us, but a surprising number of people notice and comment on it! Who knew?
Betsy says
MOORE ME! We have a football signed by Boomer Esiason that we won in a random raffle drawing.
Dee in BC says
MOORE ME!
