*** 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.

Moore Me! When I was a little girl, my dad was on the same airplane as Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken. My dad got Col. Sander’s autograph for me, which I thought was very cool because I loved his chicken.
Susan says
Moore me! I have Clyde Drexler’s autograph on a Wheaties box that he was featured on -90’s NBA basketball.

Moore me! Vampire Weekend and Ben Folds Five are my most exciting autographs so far. Both bands were incredibly nice to chat with, and also gave awesome shows!
Teresa says
…Moore me?
MOAR LOL
Anyways. I’ve gotten several autographs, but that’s probably because I’m a comic/anime geek and go to cons a lot. I got books signed, doodles and flash art by many different webcomic artists.
Not an autograph, but last month I got a guitar pick from Kirk Hammett. Gonna frame that sucker. yeah.

MOORE ME… My husband and I met Jim Gaffigan after one of his comedy shows and he was so so nice! He signed a hot pocket box that brought!

I actually don’t have any autographs. I’m not the least bit star-struck, so don’t really get the appeal.
Alanna says
Moore Me! A couple of years ago my husband took my son to a skateboard contest in LA. All of the sudden there was a lot of commotion and then David Beckham walked in surrounded by bodyguards and two of his children. My husband knew how bummed I’d be that he saw and met him in person so he asked David to sign a skateboard! We joke around that my husband has the signed skateboard but it was really all for me :)

moore me! I have a signature from the caucasian evil-guy kobra kai sensei from karate kid. martin cove. he came to a sports fitness club i used to work at few years ago and i didn’t recognize him, of course. he initiated telling me that he was martin cove and proceeded to whip out an 8×10 glossy of himself in his prime and initiated asking me who he should make the autograph out to. i told him “grace”. the inscription he wrote was “dear grace, no mercy. martin cove” omg. true story. can’t make this stuff up!!!!!! kinda super cute and kinda super sad at the same time.

MOORE ME
I have an autographed Graeme Base book that I adore. His artwork is amazing. His books include Animalia, Uno’s Garden, and The Eleventh Hour just to name a few. They are great kids books. And, his autograph even includes a little doodle of a koala, how cool is that? Maybe I’m a little weird…
Jenelle says
Moore Me
I had my ipod signed by Bethany Dillon (Christian singer/songwriter), but my most prized signature is my latest birthday card from my 16-month old. Crayon scribbles are the best. :)
