*** 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! When I was a kiddo (1993-ish), I went to gymnastics camp in Wisconsin for a week. While I was there, Kerri Strug (from the “Magnificent Seven” 1996 Olympics) went there to train.
I had no idea who she was, but I remember that she was about the same size as my 8-year-old self. I got her autograph and was very excited to cheer her on in 1996!

Moore Me!!!
I have never really understood the appeal of getting someone’s autograph…at the airport one day I was apparently in line behind a couple of Major League baseball players (not that I knew who they were, i just happened to notice that they were quite nice looking) and one turned to me and actually asked me if I would like a photo with him and his autograph. I chuckled a bit and asked why I would want that! A bit of a shot to his ego I think! Ooops!

MOORE ME!
I have no autographs of anyone more famous than my gradeschool classmates (three cheers for yearbooks), but I once stood in the airport security line next to Kenny Loggins!
Trey says
Moore Me
Mine is more a story of an autograph I should have gotten. I was in Palm Springs, CA visiting family and out for dinner. The restaurant is associated with Arnold Palmer so they have tons of golf memorabilia to look at while waiting. As my wife and I perused the items on the wall I noticed an older gentleman in a sweater and khakis walk in. As I did a double take I remarked to him “you look a lot like Arnold Palmer”, he responded with a friendly smile. As he walked past me several folks shook his hand and gave a friendly “Hello Arnold”. In short, its amazing how much Arnold Palmer actually looks like Arnold Palmer, doh!
mjohnson says
MOORE ME:) No autographs here … though my husband’s on our marriage license would certainly by my favorite :)
Kate says
MOORE ME!
Maybe not the most impressive, but the autographs I treasure most are the character autographs I have in a little book from when I went to Disney World when I was nine. Yup, still have them!

My husband’s professor joked (so the class thought) about signing all their books he wrote for the class. Apparently he wasn’t joking. :-)
Kim Adams says
MOORE ME!
My husband snagged me Tiffany’s signature when she came to perform at our university. Remember Tiffany from the 80s? She was the first person I listened to over and over again when I was about 9 or 10.
Alexa says
MOORE ME
Remember that group from the 80s? Covergirls? I still have Angel, the lead singers autograph. Sadly not worth much :(
