*** 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”
Courtney Leigh says
MOORE ME!
I recently got to meet one of my favorite authors, Joshilyn Jackson, and she signed a copy of her latest book for me. Which was awesome, because she was just as funny and sweet (and sassy) in person as she is on her blog and through her books.
Kristen N says
MOORE ME!!
Mickey Mouse of course… ;)
Annie M. says
MOORE ME
don’t really think I got many autographs
Jodi T. says
MOORE ME :) The one and only autograph I have ever gotten was by a guy (can’t even remember his name) that played Jason Vorhees in one of the Halloween movies. He was at a local Halloween theme park, and we got him to sign a Jason mask. :) It was really cool, if not kinda creepy!!
Lindsay says

Miss E says
MOORE ME!!!
Remember Michael Johnson? That awesome olympic runner with the gold shoes??? He came to our elementary school (I lived in Waco and he attended Baylor) and the only thing I had for him to sign was a Berinstein Bears book- halloween edition. He chuckled at my choice of material but I’ve never forgotten that moment!
Danielle says
MOORE ME!!
I’ve got a ridiculous amount of autographs but I have to say my most memorable is Joshua Radin.
Marcelle says
MOORE ME!
I have a signed Wayne Gretzy puck!
Emily A says
Moore Me! I had a pair of jeans that I wore to all the concerts in high school. Biggest sig on them is from Robbie Takak of the Goo Goo Dolls. But my most prized signature is the inscription on a book by Jane Goodall, my lifetime hero. I was in tears getting to meet her( at 24 yo). Lol. Looove her!
Niki kelly says
MOORE ME! I dont care a fig for signatures but i do have a design love crush on mrs. Olson

Karyn Spertzell says
MOORE ME
I got Michaek Matz’s signature on a hat when he carried the American flag in the 1996 Olympics. He’s now a thoroughbred trainer. And I have my two nephews signatures enshrined on cement stepping stones for my garden!
Donelle says
MOORE ME! We love Benjamin Moore paint!
Christina says
MOORE ME!
My husband got Giada de Laurentiis to sign one of her cookbooks for me because I’m a huge fan of hers. He asked her if she could write “happy birthday” in it because it was for my birthday and he told me that she wasn’t very gracious about it. It was kind of disappointing to hear, but I give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she was just tired/frustrated/something else :-)!
Marie says
MOORE ME!
No autographs yet but this could be my first one. :)
Tasha says
MOORE ME! I go to at least 1 David Sedaris lecture per year to get a book autographed.
Vicki says
Moore Me! When I was 12 (and apparently a gay man), I was obsessed with Bette Midler. I wrote her letters, proclaiming my admiration and ambition to become her. I got a headshot and autograph in the mail! Then I met her after her concert in NYC.
Katrina K. says
MOORE ME!
I have David Faustino’s autograph from Married … With Children! I had such a crush on him when I was a teen!
Hailey Montoya says
MOORE ME! I have an autograph on a napkin of a band whose concert I went to in high school. I can’t remember who they are…oops.
Kathryn says
MOORE ME!
I have an old t-shirt with the signature of Barry Williams (aka Greg Brady) from an uncle who danced with him in a musical. I’ve never asked anyone for an autograph. Hopefully one day I’ll run into someone worth asking and gather the courage (at a YHL book signing?!), or I’d love Candice’s book :)
paintergal says
Moore me! Are you kidding? Free paint and Candice Olson? Sweet!
My celebrity autograph is from Bob Hope. Met him when I was 13 and my friend’s dad played upright bass in a backup band for him at a county fair where he was performing. My friend’s mom went up to him and said, “I have three teenage girls…” at which he said, “that’s not my fault!” What a quick wit!
Suni says
MOORE ME!
Lol, this just cracks me up. In middle school I went to see Jamie Walters at a free show down on college campus, and he signed a picture of his for me, and hugged and kissed my check.. I remember it fondly. Jamie Walters is that singer/actor that was dating Donna on 90210, oh so long ago.
Nikki says
MOORE ME!
I have ZERO autographs! I better add that to my bucket list!
Katie says
MOORE ME!
I met lots of “celebrities” at my old job but my favorite would have to be Joan Rivers!
Calista says
MOORE ME!!
Pretty sure the only autographs I’ve ever snagged are those from Disney characters at the theme parks! Ha!
Tracie says
Moore Me!
I have a former president’s autograph. Which I got in person. Which was super exciting to my dorky self.
Melissa says
MOORE ME!!
I thought I was so cool when I was little and went to Disney and got Mickey Mouse and the whole gangs autographs in my autograph book
rachel swartley says
MOORE ME!
I don’t think I have any “famous” autographs. The signatures of the people I love are the ones I care about the most. :)
Jill says
Moore me! I have only ever asked for (and been granted) one autograph – Christopher Plummer’s – and it was for my mom!
Colleen H. says
Moore me! I (with about 5 sweet grannies) waited after seeing Jersey Boys on Broadway to get all four of the “Boy’s” signatures on my Playbill. Embarrassing but worth it having been completely starstruck after hearing all those high notes.
Amanda says
MOORE ME!! I looooove Candice Olsen and would love an autographed book.
The most recent autograph I got in person was Mario Lopez. I was a huge Saved by the Bell fan and Slater was by far my favourite so it was very exciting.
