*** 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!)

MOORE ME!
I love BM paint and Candace’s style….hope you pick me…..I don’t really have many autographs though I did win a contest for a 54-40 concert which included a meet and greet and autographed cd. They are local boys made good and I really enjoyed meeting them and love their music.
rainfall says
MOORE ME!!!! The only autograph I ever obtained was at the PNE Dog Show here in Vancouver, BC. It was so cute you could go and meet the dogs after their performance and get paw print autographs, my daughter wooooved it!!!
Elise says
MOORE ME
When we were little my mom would take us to get Minnesota Twins players autographs whenever someone was signing. As a result, when I married my husband, a huge Twins fan himself, I was able to give him with a genuine Kirby Puckett signed card for Christmas. He liked that.
Jody says
Moore Me!! Jay Leno, after I nearly hit him with a bag of trash!
Jasmine says
MOORE ME!
I have never got an autograph or anything of the like.
Sheila says
MOORE ME! Two years in and I’m stuck! I bought my apartment two years ago and have renovated the kitchen and bath, but I’ve run out of steam. I’m trying to focus on the next room to redo and I’m leaning toward the tiny dining room. Thinking of diy-ing panel moulding below the chair rail and going all BM Simply White and then a dramatic color above — something like BM Baltic Sea or Dragonfly, which you guys did so well. I could really use a little inspiration from the fabulous Candice Olson!
Allison says
Moore Me! I got an autographed Mike Schmidt baseball for my brother for his birthday one year. Maybe I’ll get YHL’s autograph if you come close to where we live for your book tour! That would be totally exciting :)
Katie Green says
MOORE ME!
One time, I propped my right leg up on the stage at a Tracy Byrd concert, and he signed my jeans. :)
Rachel says
Moore me! I’m not really into autographs,but I did once ask Sharon Osbourne if I could have a photo with her. More specifically, i went up to her and said “Hi Mrs. Osbourne, can we take a photo with you?” (how geeky am I) Luckily she was nice enough to overlook my awkwardness and take a photo with us anyhow.

victoria c says
“MOORE ME”! I live in a little town in CT and one day I was running at one of our parks and there was Mariah Carey hanging out at a picnic table with a kids group so of course i had to go bother her for an autograph. As sweaty and stinky as I may have been it was totally worth it!

bekah says
Oh my goodness. MOORE ME. My bedroom is so awful right now.
I dont really have any autographs, but by Grandpa passed down a really cool thing to my dad. He was in WWII and the soldiers carried a roll of currency with them, with a few small bills from each country they might end up in, just in case. He used to get it signed by the performers that came to entertain. For instance, Abbott and Costello. Its pretty cool to look through and try to make out the different old stars!
Amanda says
MOORE ME !!

Leslie says
MOORE ME! I have never asked for anyone’s autograph.

meghan says
MOORE ME!
I’m pretty sure the only autographs I’ve ever gotten were from Disney characters when I was kid. Though I did think it was a pretty big deal. I had a book of signatures and everything.
